I was heading to work and some asswipe pulls out *right* in front of me. I mean that literally because I couldnt have been anymore than 5-8 feet from him when he pulled out. Full speed, 45 mph, slammed right into him.

dayum dude...that sucks

dayum dude...that sucks

of course not. I got 1700 for the car. what a fuckin JIP. everybody knows putting plastic things that were not made for the car is technically illegal and for off road use only.

but i have a law suit because I now have a severe herniated disc in my lower back from the accident. i blacked out during the collision so....... heh

[p11driver]

damn that sucks, accidents suck. if the police report says its not your fault then his insurance will cover it.

[Black N1]

damn that sucks, accidents suck. if the police report says its not your fault then his insurance will cover it.
2 witnesses at the scene stating it was all his fault.
i left a statement on the day that the accident occured but they disregard it as soon as i got a lawyer. even tho that is for injuries his insurance is being such effin dicks. the stupid chick said "70% his fault 30% yours.. the adjuster that looked at hte car said you had to have been exceeding the speedlimit for that much damage" um.. or the bastard pulled out right in front of you? Maybe?

[mrmephistopheles]

at least the airbag deployed.
Now we know with 100% accuracy that an S15 airbag WILL deploy when installed in an S14. :D

[nistech]

why only 1700 though??

[DoriftoSlut]

why only 1700 though??
Cause 240s are worth dog piss to everyone outside of 17-25 years of age.

[AllenRPS13]

damn... thats suck... i feel sorry for u... hope u will recover soon...

[Dousan_PG]

sucks
but god hates s15 fronts.
dont do it on the next car.

get em w/ the lawyer. glad ot see your ok. could have been way worse. take care, drive safe!

[blu808]

did you have any of the wiring hooked up to the s15 wheel? or was the battery, and internal impact sensor still ok?

[andrewmp6]

tell him the reason yours broke that much is your front end was fiberglass and 1700 is normal insurance will low ball you

[s14xman]

wow that sucks, at least your ok. yea like someone said, good to see the airbag deployed

[aznpoopy]

rb240? is it j00?

[Black N1]

rb240? is it j00?
iz me.

S15 almost bolts right up. I say almost because you have to make a hole in the plastic piece on the back of the s15 steering wheel to send the wires through. also if you want it to fit flush you have to knick a little bit of metal off the back of the wheel. but needless to say the s15 steering wheel bolts right up as far as wiring which is why the horn worked and the airbag :-D

and youre right, the insurance do liek to hit you with low blows when it comes to dishin out cash. Its fine because I will hit them in the settlement.

[Ricks15]

Cars can be replaced but you're life cannot once its gone, 1700 dollars for you're loss is a tremendous rip off good luck with you're case.

[95Blue240sx]

Sucks they're making you go through so much crap, like getting a lawyer. I hate stupid drivers that thing they can just pull out in front of you. Happens to me all the time, never hit them thoug.

Hope things work out.

A loss only ends in a new begining.

[krustindumm]

of course not. I got 1700 for the car. what a fuckin JIP. everybody knows putting plastic things that were not made for the car is technically illegal and for off road use only.

It is not illegal (at least not in my state), and you have a right to the cars full value. Contact your own insurance agency and/or a lawyer.

[trsilvias13]

If you have already cash the $1700 check, it will be hard to get more because upon cashing the check, it mean you have agreed to the price of the car and that you have settle with the insurance company (for the car). You can still sue over injuries though.

[dannyboi]

and youre right, the insurance do liek to hit you with low blows when it comes to dishin out cash. Its fine because I will hit them in the settlement.

Either that or go postal. Personally, I'd go postal. :2f2f:

[m072514]

man i really feel sorry for you, but with that $1700, you could buy a new set of S15 headlights and another CF hood!

jk... forreal though, dont cash the check until youre satisfied with what youre getting. "tacit approval" is what the insurance companies call it.

[k0uki]

sorry about what happen man, hopefully u can get more out of them bastards in court

[alexchanman]

"Gaaawwwwd Dayum!!!!"

man, 1700 is the biggest effing rip off evar! blacking out during the crash is even worse though. did you suffer any head injuries? try to pull every stop when sueing, they deserve it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

1700??? Aint the blue book on a S14 chassis atleast $5k??? Thats fucking BULL!!! I think thats the only reason i deal with USAA insurance. I actually have it on paper that they will cover parts/upgrades to the car as long as i got reciepts. Needless to say i got a shoe box full of receipts and pictures attached to every receipt.

[xtreme_s14]

sorry to hear about your loss.. i totaled my car not too long ago too! what insurance company are you going through? do you have full coverage? when they totaled my car i got $7000 for my car.. $4000 went to my c-note! be careful next time around.. there are idiots out there on the road!

[p11driver]

I have had two s14s toattled both not my fault. i recieved BANK for them. meaning more than what i payed. it is very easy to get money for your car from insurance. provide autotrader proof of how much the vehicle is selling for and demand that is what they pay you to replace your car. legally they have to, and most insurance companies pay local market value, not kbb value.

if you have recipts of all the parts on your car you can get that money back as well.

i just changed from allstate to USAA and i asked them about that, glad to hear it's all covered!

[statik]

Same thing happend to me, but I had enough time to brake and swerve slightly, she took off most of the passenger side, her insurance adjuster came by and gave me 5k for the car as a total. 1700 is bullshit

[Black N1]

well i have been trying to get ahold of my lawyer about everything. I completely forgot that today was good friday. honestly its either I get more for it or i am going to civil court and sue the fuckin shit outta that company cuz u guys are right, 1700 is BS.

[lonelywanderer]

good to see you made it out ok.

i would try and see if they'll give you more cause the blue book should be more than 1700. damn lowballer insurance

[chlatboy]

i say you buy it back and part that shit out.

[Black N1]

i say you buy it back and part that shit out.
Then they were going to take more out of the 1700 and givem e somewhere around 1500 for it. Or some shit. Rediculous.

[DaPCWiz]

damn bro... same shit happened to me a few weeks ago with my S14. Insurance seems like they will be good to me tho. They are letting me keep the car, but they haven't made me an offer yet (they will do it next week). Why do'nt you throw bluebook value at them or show them other S14s in your area for sale and try to get more money?

[vinhnumber]

no insurance money to the tuners =[
sucks ass! sorry to hear about your car,
but in the end a car is just a car to the insurance agents

[Big Zee]

unlucky dude, at least your alive though

I have the reverse problem, ppl are always tailgating me when the fast lane is wide open for them to pass me in
taught one guy a lesson theough, hit the brakes, HARD and without abs they locked ther fuck up :D man you could see the pissed off look on his face for riding my ass

[nokuntrol]

FUCK the "over speed limit" Bull shit.
Some dude hit me and it was pretty clear that he was going over the speed limit. But without an actual speed gun, there's no absolute way of knowing how fast you were going.

Witnesess can't tell you how fast you were driving. So unless there was a cop there to track how fast you were going, throw "Speeding" out the window.

Edit:
Best bet is the Sue the mother fucker and buy a real S15. Muahaha

[chokudoriS13]

Was your car branded as a salvage title? If not, your actions make no sense. Why would you take $1700 for a car that books at over $5k any way you slice it? Hell, my girlfriend's '84 Volvo wagon with 257k on it was crushed by a tree in October. Insurance paid out $2250 AND WE KEPT THE CAR (sold the shell for another $100). Also, an insurance company of the party that hit you usually will reimburse you for aftermarket parts. After all, you're taking a monetary loss on your investment. I'd understand if your insurance company rejected your request for payment for parts (since they were probably not your policy), but to let someone hit you and get away with paying $1700.... Blows my mind...

[pignosecoupe]

Sorry to hear it bro.
