Well this morning I was coming home and a guy tried to cut across the road I was on. He peeled out and just went for it. Stupid git didn't think that if he peeled out he'd lose traction and he wouldn't get across any faster. I hit his tail end...bairly. If I hadn't hit my brakes faster I prob would have hit his passenger door and killed his elderly wife. Everyones ok...sore but ok. When we got pulled over and assessed that everyone was ok I called the cops and they took a good 45 min to show up, but its the first couple days of school so I'm guessing they were just busy. He tried to say I was going 70mph and that he couldn't tell that I was flying. He got all in my face and kept trying to get me to change my story and such, but the fact remained that he was crossing my street and I had the right away. The cop informed him that even if I had been speeding it would have been his fault for not judging my speed and still cutting me off. I was going 45mph. Heres the damage report. Headlight (yea the nice custom ones) destroyed. Light bevel destroyed. front bumper destroyed. front right quarter panel destroyed. hood scratched. roof scratched from my fog light coming over the car. tire was almost poped. I put 2 brand new off roading fog lights on the front of the car literary 2 hours before I had left. I didn't even get to use them. I just put in two new speakers and got the speedo cable working and everything. Sigh. I stayed up all night trying to get the her ready for the wedding on monday...but alas it wasnt ment to be. The insurance company is prob. going to to total it out. I dont really want to let her go just yet. Shes not wobbling or anything. I'll asses the damage further and see if the frame is bent, and if so how much. I dont really know what all is involved in keeping her if the insurance company actually totals her out...but yea. Needless to say it was a shittastic morning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by DesmondGhostRider, Aug 30 2010, 05:20 PM.

Doesn't matter if you were speeding or not, he shouldn't have pulled out in front of you. |

Usually what is involved if they total it out is, they will cut you a check for what they say the car is worth of course in a running condition according to the book. Which aint going to be much according to the book. Then if you want you can buy the car back in the wrecked posistion price.. They would probably sell it back to you real cheap.

I am happy to hear that you are OK Bryan. Take a deep breath and be patient. My experience is it may become clearer, and a few aches and pains will show up, as the days go by. Try to take time to sort it out, This is only day one. You will work this out.

Here in Ohio it doesn't matter if you have a salvage title. You can still register it , drive it, sell it, what ever. It will just say salvage. It wouldn't bother in the least. I know it's different for different states. |
