Wrecked again. moar dmg pics. Options

[rave2n]

Once again someone hit me. She got ticketed for failure to yield.

Was heading straight down the road, and next thing I know a car is coming right at me from the left. Turns out she came directly into traffic, instead of yielding into the median, which my car was traversing. I attempted to dodge her, but deflected off her front passenger side into the curb which then launched my car 3 feet in the air, according to witnesses, and landing in the bike lane.

I got the lasting image of myself grasping the steering wheel and looking at the sky as my last image before it slammed to the ground.

Neck, back hurts. Not sure of condition of car, but pictures do not show all the damage.



I don't know what to do now. I just got my 3s, and I know they'll try to salvage it again. Will have to inspect the damage later on. Bad time for a wreck, on holiday weekends, no answers til the 3rd.

I've invested so much in her, and had so many plans...but people won't stop hitting me. Its scaring me out of further investments due to the value of the car.

BTW, it was a brand new 2012 volks passat that hit me. Those new ones are huge, and hit like a tank...barely any damage to her car.

Wow that's a lot of damage, I'm sorry you have to go through this man. Its one thing when your car looks like crap after an accident, but getting your suspension boned like that is the worst. I hope the frame is straight and that you can repair it.

btw did the VW girl have an explanation?

Yea, I'm pretty sure its not repairable. Alot of it can be replaced, but the unibody part I can't see myself fixing, or even the knowledge on where to start.

She sure did..I quote "I thought I had enough room" - Where she got that idea, I have no clue.

I don't want to sound mean and all, being she was a nice girl, with what appeared to be young mind trying to make it in a rough world. I can relate, but at the same time she destroyed my baby, and my marker in life that was my turning point from my old ways. Which really pisses me off and makes me want to find her car, and destroy it...so she can possibly feel atleast somewhat of the loss I have right now. Obviouslly I won't, but today is a ruff day.

It wasn't just a car to me, was alot more.

Been looking around for another shell, but there isn't much in this area. The ones I do see are high high priced being they run and are still reliable DD's for someone. 5k+ I don't have. I think the most I'll have for another is around 1.5 to 2k.

The simpliest option is to part out, sell the 3s, and scrap the rest for metal cost. That would give me around roughly 4-5k for another vehicle, but it obviouslly won't be a 6gc. Which is the kicker...I want a 6gc.

Looking for alternate shells before I put the 3s up, but its not looking good in this area.

well the cracked projector can still be sold, i tell u... the others, men, even the glass can be salvaged, and put on a regular housing

Hmm, very good point. I'll keep that in mind =)
