should have said you crapped your pants on the police report. then sue the living shit out of her.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-05-2006, 01:06 AM

That sucks, insurance wont pay you much for the damn car. Theyll give you bluebook for it even tho the car doesnt go by kbb anymore. Id say sue for physical pain and medical. Hopefully get enough out of it that you can get another clean S14 kouki or better yet...a brand new car. Car wise, theyll prolly give you something in the ball park of $7k for the car.

Same here.
38 year old woman in an SUV ran a red light and t-boned me (I was driving an 89 Geo Metro) while I was making a left turn. Gets out crying and apologizing and whatnot, then tells the cop who showed up that her light was green and I ran a red light. Bullshit... I was hurt, my passengers were hurt, and my car was totaled. Her car had a broken headlight and a scratch on the fender. Come to find out, my insurance had lapsed the day before (mom's car, her insurance), so I lost my license for a year, and I'm paying off 10K in "repairs" to her car.
/rant.

Back to the topic at hand. I'm glad to hear you're okay. As was said, cars can be replaced; lives can't.
At least the law is on your side here.

arian23 · 09-05-2006, 01:46 PM

That sucks man!!! Sorry to hear that, I hope you get better soon. Another thing that sucks is that we lost another S14 Kouki. They didnt make that many. Are you going to get the car back and part it out or what?

iMAGE976 · 09-05-2006, 05:33 PM

it hurt jus looking at the before and after pics.....not to mention the screetch marks the tires left behind. Im jus glad u are doing ok. Hope everything works out and u recover quickly!

*ManoNegra* · 09-05-2006, 05:47 PM

Damn, I met you at the Eibach meet a couple of years back and I remember your car very well since it stood out in the crow.
Sorry to hear but glad you're fine.

Drift Motion · 09-05-2006, 08:14 PM

ouch...
wat a beautiful kouki

carnal_c30 · 09-06-2006, 10:23 AM

make sure to see your doctor i know everyone is saying this and go through the process to get a settlement... an accident like this can have affects on you for years to come... my friend let something like this go and just let insurance pay for his car... and now he is fat and his back hurts all the time

and in my case my back still hurts everyonce in awhile cuz of an accident like this just happy i got a little settlement out of it to pay for those pains

Kouki_2.4 · 09-08-2006, 07:37 PM

damn, sorry to hear about the accident. Good thing you're okay though. Another 240 laid to rest.

nrg · 09-09-2006, 01:43 AM

I remember seeing your car at eibach. very nice. How much for the car as it sits? looks like an easy fix heh.

mamono · 09-09-2006, 01:59 AM

physical therapy is helping a lot! thanks for the concern and support!

as it stands, $5k repair estimate, insurance priced out the car to be market valued at $7.5k. insurance wants to total the car. currently talking with my lawyer...

DRIFT DAY 3?

mamono · 09-12-2006, 06:22 PM

yup, that's my car. even has the same blemish on the front lip and the same windshield blinds... same tint... power antenna... and it's next to Kyle's car... yeah, i'm pretty sure that's mine.

one year older now and i miss my car... T_T i'm healing really well. the swelling has gone down a lot. i can bend my arm no problem now. back and neck pain isn't so bad now. the meds help a lot though.

Brian · 09-12-2006, 09:26 PM

Glad to see you doing better, Jason.

bgindn · 09-14-2006, 05:24 PM

Jason

Sorry to hear this man. Either way like others said, cars come and go and I am sure you can build/get another. Be thankful that you walk away from this with your health. Rest up and get better.

That is such a bummer! I am glad you're ok. Car crashes can turn out badddd. Rack up that medical bill, pain and suffering is 2-3 times the cost of the bill. Don't run over what her policy will permit, though. My grandparents just got in a crash, and there was a $100,000 limit, they went wayyyyyyyyy over that. It was a bad accident, though. Hope you get better!

Don't rack up the bill it's a common misconception. be honest and you'll get plenty of pain and suffering compensation.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-20-2006, 12:47 AM

Fuck it, let your insurance total the car and just buy it back. Use the money to fix it and hopefully youll get more compensation by suing her. Atleast keep the chassis and get her back on the road.

It worked for everyone I know!

Kouki_2.4 · 09-20-2006, 08:26 PM

jason, what's the status on your car? r u going to buy it back, or what are you going to do?

I work in a legal department for an insurance company, I know...People who rack up the bill and that go to Trial never get as much as the prosecuting attorney tells you. People think they're going to 25k...end up with 3.5k. Be honest and a likeable person you'll get way more. Also depends on the injuries and age. Your grandparents probably got off pretty well because alot of people will sympathize with elders, however a guy here is what like 20-25 years old, plays a big part of settlements.

cmcdougle · 09-20-2006, 11:32 PM

well, I don't mean be dishonest and go for everything you possibly can, but while you're at the doctor don't be cheap!

Alot of people believe that, and trust me, I get tired of it everyday. it's daytime tv that inform these people and it's horrible. Most people don't get much because of lawyer fees and doctor liens. Or they could go through the whole thing and end up with nothing but a huge bill because they weren't credible witness, which happens alot too.

hybrid_eg · 09-21-2006, 05:36 PM

good to hear you're doing well! damage doesnt look that bad.. i'd fix it if possible as they are so hard to find clean these days.. and definitely sue that fuggin senior citizen for damages.. i swear.. these old people.. over a certain age should seriously not be allowed to drive.. or at least have them tested once a year minimum.. you see these old ladies driving around in their caddy's and buick's with their terminator fully tinted shades even on the edges of the sunglasses! and two or three more blindasses in the back seat rolling down the street.. they are simply a ROAD HAZARD to everyone!! i know their life is going to suck after that but hell there is people to be saved out there! yes i ride a bike daily and see this every single day!! sick of it! sorry had to vent out!

Jason@performance · 09-30-2006, 12:51 PM

Glad you are ok! Beautiful kouki... but glad you are ok...
