Man, today i was driving to park at school ( Georgia Southern University ) - i was on campus going about 35 mph past a BIG line of traffic going the opposite direction, all of the sudden this red explorer pulls out ON me, not before, but he pulled out and the passenger door hits the front left nose of my car - the head unit is totally smashed a gigantic hole in my bumper, hood is bent and indentations all along the side of the car where his bumpuer slid down the side of my car, and ALSO he shoved me up on the car and now two of my after market rims are bent and tires blown out - i dont want to come up in some POS rental car - anyways here is a pic before the accident - ill get some after

Can an SUV really own a Max - oh yeah - my back and neck are hurt so - who knows maybe 2K2 Custom Turbo Money

 

Now that fukn sucks!

 

that ****ing sucks big time

 

Damn

That looks bad - sorry to hear it.
What did the F#ckin j@ck@ss have to say for himself?

 

Oww

 

Ouch...That's gonna cost the guys insurance quite a bit to fix.

 

Damnit man, I thought you meant you raced an explorer, I was wondering wtf Now I see what happened. Sorry man.

 

oh crap man, sorry to hear that, atleast the car isnt totalled. I hope your injuries arent serious, but you should definitely have them checked out by a doctor

 

the exact damaged happened to me bout 2 weeks ago... the car has been in the shop since... i've been home goin nowhere... and it costs bout 6000 to get it fixed.. thank got i've got full coverage

 

I hope that everything works out for you and you get your car fixed soon.

 

SunliTMaxima, Did you call the cops? What kind of ticket did he get? Driving on the wrong side is a SERIOUS violation... you could pocket quite a bit of money from insurance if you play your cards right.

 

He wasnt driving on the wrong side he did a left hand turn and collided with me because i was already going straight and " he couldnt see becuase of the traffic" - i bet there is a lot to replace namely - 2 tires, the front bumper, both headlight units, drivers side foglight, an aftermarket rim, one door pannell, front and rear quarter pannels, not to mention anything under it thats messed up from hitting the curb or any engine bay damage like just metal peices - i wonder how much its going to get estimate - as for back injuries - im going to file a claim for custom 2k2 turbo money

 

it was the guy's freshman year he was all kind of like shaking and stuff and was like im really sorry - what i thought was funny was that i had an open coke that spilled on me during the crash and i pulled it back out cause i was thirsty in the sun and he was like, man do you have another coke by anychance, i was like nope all i have is this one and its being enjoyed by myself and about 75% of the front upholstery of my car as well as shifter - all in all i was lighthearted about it - it was my first wreck

 

Well that's at least good he was apologizing...but him causing a sticky interior besides all the bodywork would have sent me right over the edge on his @ss!

 

heh - like i said - custom turbo money

 

Ouch!! At least you didn't get hurt.

 

I hate it for you. I hope they can get it back very close to 100%.

Are you planning on keeping the broken headlights? If not and the ballasts are still good I might be able to help your funding cause.

 

He was hurt, hopefully he wasn't hurt to badly.

 

uhmm we'll see when they start on the car, im getting the police report so ill check them out more thoroughly - yeah im having a litlte bit of sore back and neck problems, im going to check out our university's health clinic today - im sure the fixing of the car is going to take an inordinate amount of time - i guess ill just get a rental till then - hopefuly not a cava-queer like my friend got

 

Make sure you document your injuries, and let your ins. co. know too.

As for the lights, just please keep me in mind, I'm in the Atlanta area also.

BTW I really like your rims.

 

First off, let me say that sucks a$$.

Second, you got off easy. I've got a 2000 Explorer AWD and it could completely destroy my Max in an accident. The thing is tipping the scales at near 5000 lbs and would just run right though my Max at the right speed. I'm glad to see you are ok (or at least not crippled or dead).

If it makes you feel any better, the guy is probably spending $125 - $200 / month in gas...like I am on my 5.0 V8

 

Dont forget that if you claim serious injury they use investigators to "spy" on you to try and prove if your faking so they wont have to pay



btw-sorry about the accident

 

Damn that sucks! Glad you're alright though...

 

you are a better man then me because he would have called the police on me i would have went crazy yo his insurance should pay to get ur car fixed but i know u don' wanna wait oh yeah sue u can get some money anytime ur really hurt go to a few doctors because u might have reoccuring problems

 

well you should be able too pocket about $300 from the headlight alone. Buy the casing from DAVEB from around $400 and let them reuse the ballast and bulbs. I feel your pain the same thing happened too me not too long ago

 

Since you're going to need two brand new headlights with the HID's, dop what I did. I had a similar accident and two new headlights were needed.

First- check if both ur headlights are still working.

Second- tell the bodyshop to take off the burner and ballast from the broken headlights and install them on ur foglights. And than you can have HID fogs and two brand new headlights, so at least you get something out of the whole accident, and it's not considered fraud since they have to order the two brand new headlights anyway.:-)

They match beautifully too, too bad my headlights ended up getting stolen and I swapped for 2k1 AE headlights.I still have HID fogs though.:-)

What kind of rims are those??????

 

Sorry to hear that. The good thing that its not your fault.

 

The rims are Tenzo Mean R - 17's Gunmetal - ill do that with the headlights - by looking at the picture how much damage do you think the insurance will claim on my car?

 

cause i was looking at this one forum where he wrecked his 02 silver maxima and it came out to be 14.6 K

 

Don't let them give you a crappy rental. I am pretty sure that if it is his fault, they have to provide you with a comparable car. I would confirm that though.

 

yeah - as long as it insnt some imapla - can anybody give me a ballpark estimate of what you think it would cost for my repairs by looking at the pictures?

 

Oh no! A beautiful Sunlit Maxima damaged! Sorry to hear it. My Sunlit was hit twice in less than a month. Hope everything works out for you.

 

oh god dont you loooove the sunlit color though?

 

its so beautiful champgne and just metallic - i love it - anybody gonna give me a price quote how much would you guess? cost to repair

 

I've seen several rental agencies actually renting out 2k3 maxima's... heh If thats not comperable to a 5th gen im not sure what is Hopefully you can get one and not some pos. Good luck, usually with accidents like yours where no critical components were messed up, the car will end up in better shape than it was prior. ie. HID fogs, freshly painted bumper, a couple new tires and rims etc.
