i hit a chunk of cement on I20 the other night at about 11:30, had to have the car towed home almost 90 miles. its now sitting in my buddies bay at nissan waiting for an insurance adjuster to come out and look it over. tranny case has a hole in it, tranny pan was destroyed and theres a 7" gash underneath the passenger rear floorboard. estimate came close to $3500....

insurance is covering the $330 tow, rental car, deductible and all damages...

wheels and body were untouched.....

will keep this thread updated as to what happens from here....

 

that's destruction! Please keep us updated!

Why was there a piece of cement in the middle of I20... wow

 

Mroth....sorry to hear that man..that totally sucks...BUT...I could completely relate...my first car...(do I dare say it....)a Honda accord had the same fate...I was driving about 45 and I see something ricocheting off of the bottom of the car in front of me that then came flying out from under that car and as i realized it was a freakin bolder....I couldn't do anything about it.....all i heard was clunk clunk clunk..fawkin clunk clunk...

So I drive about a couple of blocks and stop at the first gas station I saw....look under the car and pink transmission fluid is flowing out like an open faucet ....car gets towed and the ordeal ended up costing almost 4000 of which I paid 800 after insurance.....the fawkin transmission case was cracked and they basically had to put another transmission in it....I was so pissed...so I know how you feel..

 

jesus !....you had to be going atleast 80mph. Sorry bro....but atleast insurance is covering it. I would recommend brand new everything (tranny ). Keep us posted.

 

OMFG!!! If you have to total is out ill buy those wheels....

 

I can feel for you, I've just been lucky that I've never trashed my transmission like that, I have tore up several tires, a rim, and the whole drivers front fender from crap on interstate highways.

 

Damn def sorry to hear that, hope it all works out. If it totals out ill take the front bumper, rear trunk lid, and rear bumper

 

sorry to hear about the mishap...damn roads are becoming a mine field; I was on the I-75 driving to florida once and I almost hit an aluminum roofing ladder..lol

Best of luck with the fix, man.

 

Sorry to hear about that, dude. Can't you go after the state for this, though?

I thought the highway was their responsibility to keep clear of dangerous debris like that...

 

holy shyt

 

thats what i was thinking. the state should take care of it and your insurance shouldnt have to touch it and you shouldnt have to worry about it getting totaled out

 

Nooo, one of my favorite 4th gens on the ORG! Good luck man... hope you get it all sorted out.

 

Wow that blows.

 

makes me almost want to put full coverage on my car, scary driving with just the liability on a 4th gen, btw since your in atl to how much is full coverage for 4th gens if i may ask....?

 

At least the Nismo's weren't damaged. Sorry about what happened to the car, I'd be devestated.

 

NOooooooooooooooooo!!!!


damnit!!! I-20 is always a problem!!!


if I'm not mistaken just looks like you need a new auto tranny $~300 install yourself + new trans fluid, clean clutch packs+ filters and you're back on the road. Or have a shop do it and bill the insurance. what is $3500 for if there was no body damage aside from a gash and a broken tranny?

 

damn, that crazy. i almost hit an a/c unit on the highway once, good thing i was paying attention before it was too late...

 

Is the car back up and running?

 

shes back to life!!! dropped the re-manned tranny in at work last night when i got off. will get some pics up asap!

 

Good to hear she's back!

 

happy happy joy joy

 

dam bro sucks

 

I still like your car smashed tranny n all.
What you do with the Gwheels?

 

That is just insane, glad youre alright. could of been worse. but a Cement block on the highway, Damnnn

 

I'm sure he still has those G wheels sitting somewhere (After spending so many times painting etc)

 

there was an old washer lying in the middle of 202 in pa last year, i stopped right before i hit it. called teh cops to let them know it was there so's no-one would hit it.

 

haha i got the G wheels in the basement.... cars back up and running. ive been busy as **** with work so i havent had time to update the thread. remanned tranny is in, car rides good. doin the alignment saturday and throwing the rays back on monday...
