Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: Perdition on August 03, 2004, 01:49:45 AM LOL
*ahem* aw sucks frag. *gets frag drunk so he doesnt care about the car anymore* Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 03, 2004, 02:29:01 AM Quote Still got four wheels, what the problem? bumper/wheel well is pushed right up against the wheel--not driveable for the time being, had to be towed in to a shop. can get the hood open anymore, as you cant even get at the latch with your fingers. illegal to drive without headlight/cornerlens/turn signal. ;) Quote whose fault was is? mine entirely.....i was comin home from a long trip, had been driving for 5 hours. I was almost home, comin down this main road which is more like a 6 lane highway with stoplights. The stoplights are packed really close together in some places.....I got distracted and managed to look past one at the next one, and at the last second I realized I had a red. I slammed on the brakes, but too late--I hit someone crossing the road :( Quote *gets frag drunk so he doesnt care about the car anymore* yeah, tbh, I've been planning on that anyway :) Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 02:41:45 AM eh it happens man, u get an estimate on how much it's gonna cost to repair?
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: Perdition on August 03, 2004, 02:42:30 AM ouch. :(
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 02:44:11 AM damn man, when I get my car (god knows when that'll be) I shall not take it for granted, course accidents happen...eh I guess u can only control what u do not what others do.
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: opperdude on August 03, 2004, 04:39:40 AM well... twas one pimpy car :cool: , and it'll prolly be when/if you'll et it fixed at some point :)
i got some friens who like to fix/improve cars but you better don't do that cause it'll cost you lots o cash to get your car over here :) if you'll try and fix it yourself i might get you some advice if you'll need it tho... Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 03, 2004, 05:37:31 AM well, luckily I have full coverage, just a $500 deductible. That's a lot to pay out of pocket, but I suppose it'll cost a lot more than that to fix. It just happened Sunday, got in to the shop today, so I'll give em a call tomorrow and see how things are going.
oh yeah, my dads also had enough accidents that he knows the guys at the body shop on a first name basis. Thats good for me :) specially since he says they do the best work around here. Also, my insurance company has some strange thing where everybody pays for everyone else's screwups, so my premiums won't rise. If they deem someone too much of a risk they just drop you. However, my dad says he's been with state farm since he was 16 and can probably lean on them a bit if they try to drop me :) Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 06:56:02 AM well that's good at least pops is there to help ya...wish I could have the same...but hey another story for another thread.
anyways, it's good that ur getting taken care of. :) Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: Perdition on August 03, 2004, 07:02:00 AM that sounds sexual.
goodstuff though frag. Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 07:12:18 AM hehe ya I guess it does.
anyways that might take a couple weeks to repair, wait is there any engine damage or is it all body work? Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: opperdude on August 03, 2004, 11:52:55 AM it looks like just body work... prolly just a new hood and bumpers
btw i'm still impressed by your car... i'd like to have one like that :) Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: Night Spawn on August 03, 2004, 03:13:24 PM Could be worse...
Imagine having a '72 RoadRunner in top condition getting completely totalled. I bought one several months ago, then made the mistake of letting my brother drive it. Talk about getting depressed. :( Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 03, 2004, 03:42:02 PM as far as I can tell, its just body work. then again, I cant get the hood open to look underneath. However, I've looked behind the bumpers before, and it's mostly empty space. If I had the twin turbo model, then I'd be in trouble....the intercooler would probably be destroyed. Anyway, I expect they just need to replace the fender, hood, and bumper. I already have a new nose panel (between the lights) that was given to me with the car, cept it's a nice Stillen quad-vented one. Get this though, the headlights? $1500/pair. I love insurance. :) I haven't gotten the estimate yet, but the insurance company has to inspect it first, then they can start work on it probably at the end of this week or early next week, and hopefully it won't be long after that that it's back on the road. :)
opper- its a 94 Nissan 300zx 2+2. Sick cars, but rare--I got it a month ago ($9600), but I was lookin since October 03. Turns out mine was also the Fairlady Z model--aka made in Japan and imported. The upshot to that is it has a nice wing, taillights, corner lenses, headlights, plus a bunch of other small but nice differences. I have the 4 seater model (2+2), though you need short leges to sit in the back, but they also made a 2+0, convertible, and twin turbo model. All models except the twin turbo are 222hp stock, the twin is 300hp. All models cept the convertible are t-top models, which I think is the best option as far as roofs go--plenty of open air, but still have a rigid frame unlike many convertibles. Wanna see some more pics of em, check out Z1 Motorsports (http://www.300zx.com) [/bragging] :P Spawn--that sucks, man. :( That's why I don't let *anyone* drive my car. If anyone's gonna crash it, it's gonna be me, dammit! Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: matt_the_shark on August 03, 2004, 07:10:59 PM meh, i dunno, to rage at someone else, or yourself...that's a good question :P
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: underruler on August 03, 2004, 08:12:30 PM Frag I'm sorry. That was a sweet ass car. Once it gets fixed then it'll look better. Although I'm sure your insurance won't be.
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 03, 2004, 08:19:43 PM /me pokes under
shows how much you read....no insurance hike ;) and it wasnt that bad in the first place either..... $250 / month for full coverage for a 19 year old male driving a nice sports car......thats nothin. :cool: but hey, i wanted some minor repairs on the bumper/hood/fender anyway.... :unsure: Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: underruler on August 03, 2004, 08:41:48 PM Man my insurance must suck...I think it costs like $1600 to insure me.
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: opperdude on August 03, 2004, 08:42:59 PM $250 / month?!?!?! :o you must make lots o bucks my friend...
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 03, 2004, 08:49:33 PM $1500 or so. goes really fast though.
under-- get state farm. theyre awesome. Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: underruler on August 03, 2004, 08:50:41 PM We have AAA or something
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 09:37:44 PM AAA is pretty good as far as taking care of u when u get in trouble, I dunno about insurance tho.
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: underruler on August 03, 2004, 11:05:16 PM meh...I don't know b/c I don't know how to fucking drive b/c my fucking bitch of a mom won't fucking sign me up for a fucking driver's training class that little fuck.
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 04, 2004, 12:10:16 AM LOL that's interesting under, lots of foul language there.
yea but I can understand...on a side note, YAY I"M A VETERAN!!! :D Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: FragMaster1972 on August 08, 2004, 06:31:24 AM well. latest news: I talked to the body shop, who talked to my insurance company. They don't wanna total it, even though there's $7400 of damage to it. However, we're not quite sure that the insurance inspector caught all the damage. There's more that we barely even noticed, all the way on the driver side. Anyway, they oughta be able to fix it :) , but its gonna take 2-3 weeks :(
Title: I *had* a nice car.... Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 10, 2004, 12:35:29 AM fudge monkeys that sux, but hey at least it's gonna be fixed and back to normal...or better than normal maybe :D
