This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ESmorz · 09-23-2009, 06:53 PM

So while I was at school today I realized I didn't have my Human Sexuality homework. Luckily enough I have a 4 hour break inbetween classes and elected to just drive back home and get it. On my way back to school on Twin Oaks Valley Rd. I was stopping for a yellow light, I reached my complete stop and about a second later the light turns red. About 1 or 2 seconds after that I look into my rear view mirror and see a Red Nissan Versa with it's brakes locked up coming into me.

I didn't really have any time to react, except brace for impact. Sure enough she gave me a thorough pounding from behind. She pushed me a good 10 ft into the intersection and my car was stuck because the rear bumper was entagled under the wheel. So I immediately got out and ripped my bumper off all the while yelling obscenities and the like.

Finally, we pulled off to the side to assess the damage. Her car was fucked. Most of the drivers side crumple zones... crumpled at least slightly. Couldn't really tell how bad her cars damage was till she popped the hood, and her car wouldn't start etc... My Subaru has a dented exhaust and dented/nicked rear bumper. Everything else appears Jim Dandy. So I guess the point of this thread is that I had to deal with a crying teenage girl for about 45 minutes and she fucked my brand new car today and need some outlet. Also, that Nissan Versa's suck ass and Impreza's are stallions.

Sorry to hear and hope there were no
crazy injuries.

Yeah, I think what saved our collective asses at least in part is that when I instinctively braced for impact, I let off the brakes. I feel if she would have hit me and my brakes were on it would have been a much different story.

but no, really, it's more important that everyone is okay. i know that's easy to say when it's not your car, but for real, bad things happen from time to time. if you dwell on it for too long, you'll end up blowing your brains out.

She was crying the whole time and with her boyfriend, who weirdly enough is in my Human Sexuality class. Small world.

Yeah, she told the cop while he was taking down the report that she just wasn't paying attention. Then the cop walked over to me to take my statement and was like "well. it's not your fault" and then laughed haha.

I honestly won't care that any of this happened if I can get a few extra bucks out of it and replace the stock exhaust with a catback which would probably be cheaper and get some Rally Armor mudflaps so I can stop scratching my paint.

BIZERK · 09-23-2009, 07:06 PM

Yeah man, that definitely sucks hard. There's a good possibility that it will start to suck even more once you have to deal with her insurance company.

My car got rear-ended last Monday so I definitely understand your frustration. The insurance company wrote me an estimate that was nearly 2k less than what the dealership gave me. Luckily the dealership was able to get it fixed correctly, but the whole process is just a pain.

I wish you luck in the coming days.

SimpleS14 · 09-23-2009, 07:35 PM

wow...good luck with dealing with insurance. They really should cover the cost just fine.

I think it's really odd that the b/f is in your class. You never know, he might try to be friends with you or treat you like a D-bag lol

It's not entirely odd considering that this happened less than 3 miles from school.

Either way I don't care.

ronmcdon · 09-23-2009, 07:48 PM

How's the paint durability in those newer Imprezas?
My 06 held up pretty well.
Hope it isn't as bad as the Mitsus (learned the hard way apparently).

jspaeth · 09-23-2009, 07:53 PM

Are you trying to say we can't have nice things because of female drivers? haha

No, that's why insurance is high, that and people who insist on talking on the phone while driving.

Paint is holding up quite well, save for a couple minor scratches from pebbles flung into the body by the front wheel.

Even the paint on my bumper wasn't so bad, after being hit and then dragged under the car.

Can't believe America allows women to drive.

*hOngsterr* · 09-23-2009, 08:52 PM

KrazyS13 · 09-23-2009, 08:54 PM

That sucks man, hopefully you can get that exhaust and those mud flaps from insurance!! Good Luck!

S14_Kouki · 09-23-2009, 09:14 PM

I have no way to tell. I don't know I think she just might be a really bad driver.

I did the same thing in my Camino....

Cept the guy was in a moving truck and stopped 10 ft into the intersection, I couldn't see over top of his truck, and 24 year old brakes don't like to work as well as say...abs ><

Luckily he was nice and it was a work truck so no moneys exchanged.

ayuaddict · 09-24-2009, 01:39 AM

i am so scared of female drivers.

if one totals out my Z i think insurance will give me less than a grand.

i will, at that point hit the woman more than once, probably.

Sorry to hear man.

Did you make it to class afterwards to turn in your work?

Gay as aids.

JEDIs13 · 09-24-2009, 04:08 PM

letting off the brakes before she hit you was a wise decision, it saved your car and you from some whiplash.

Genovese.Jr · 09-24-2009, 04:13 PM

o she is a fault so you should sue her ass and get a new car

Pretty sure the legal system doesn't work like that. Anywho, I'm way too lazy to sue anybody anyways. I made it out ok, my car (for the part) made it out ok, it was her fault, and she has insurance. An accident couldn't go any better.

I do want some mudflaps though lol.

you would be surprised.
last year I rear ended some lady.
she had 'back pains',
and is apparently trying to sue past the $100k health coverage from my insurance.
property damage is usually not that big a deal.
medical compensation more or less has no limits.
