Tonight at around 5:45pm PST I crashed my 240SX into a Ford Explorer. I was turning left at a stop sign and the guy I crashed into was going straight. I think I got to the stop sign first. I waited there for 5-7seconds and sense no one was going, I went. 10ft before the turn was completed the guy pulled out and crashed into the right front side, BYE BYE S13 FRONTEND CONVERSION.
I dont have a license, im 16. No insurance. Car is not registered, me and my dad bought it 2 weeks ago. So now I have to pay for the guys car who crashed into and my car. I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE HOW I WILL FIX MY CAR. What was ruined was from Japan. What was ruined on his car was his bumper, grill, and left fender (he claimed his door wasnt working) I work at Marshalls and make a VERY NICE $6.75 an hour. I am thankful that the police didnt give me a ticket or take away my license til I were 18. But they said I was at fault which I do not get. I know I shouldnt have been driving but I just got the fucking car and I am still amped about it (not as much anymore). The dude fucking crashed into me, I did not crash in to him (YES I KNOW YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO YIELD TO THE PERSON GOING STRAIGHT IF YOU ARE TURNING, but no one was going so I went). What I have to fix on my car is the right fender, right wheel, hood, right light, middle light, bumper, the bar of metal that goes right before the radiator. Luckily there was no engine or chasis damage. The battery and the shit by the battery was pushed back though. My gauges wont light up either, i think there was a short somewhere. What I think I am going to do is a buy a fiberglass hood and a bodykit front bumper. I can get S13 lights off of eBay for $225. Do not have a clue what I am going to do w/the fender...Sense it isnt a regular 240SX fender... I dont want to buy a full S13 conversion again just to get the right fender. I am done rambling... |

why'd u say ur lucky they're not gonna take away ur license till' ur 18? didn't u say u didn't have a license? i can't believe u actually did drive like that w/ no insurance, license, or nething. no offense, but from the background info n all, it seems like it is ur fault for what happened, i'd have to hear the other person's side of the story. i can c u making a mistake like that, but hope it all turns out alright n all, at least u'll still be able to get ur license.

Good luck getting the story out of the guy. He said probably 3 sentences during the 45 minute ordeal. Does smoke come out of airbags? Because his airbags went off and there was a bunch of smoke in his car. Then after we pulled to the side to the road. He like wondered off. I wonder if he was smoking weed or somthing. I asked him if he was alright and he said yes. I was going about 15 (first gear) he was going around 5 probably...
Usually if you drive without a liscense in CA and you are under 18 and get caught the police will take it away until you are 18. But they didnt w/me. |

That sucks about the car, but I gotta scold you on driving without insurance or liscense too. You got off VERY lucky, and if you are at fault, I hope you've worked out to get that Explorer repaired as well. Oh well, at least you learned your lesson early, and nobody got hurt.

That could have been a very expensive lesson if the explorer wanted to be a prick and go for an injury claim.
You say you were unlucky, I think the fact that you still have a car and just a repair bill to deal with make you one #### of a lucky guy. |

I think the reason why you've still got your license is because technically, he should be at fault. If you entered the intersection first after waiting to see if he'd go or not, and he just decided to ram into you, than it's his fault for not looking ahead.
I feel really bad that your Silvia conversion got damaged, believe me. Maybe try getting a job that pays more, and perhaps even a driver's license and some insurance? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Sorry, I don't mean to be a smart-ass. I know it's hard to get a job, especially now--our economy is damb near shot. But try your best. Good luck with everything! Irena |

ugh.. that sucks dude.. i'm only 16 too.. i just got the car in my sig an avatar 2 days ago, i don't even have it yet, and i'd be pissed if it got hit.. i'm getting a whole S13 clip, you know, the engine, rhd conversion, dash, etc, and i'd kick that dudes ass in court, but since you didn't have a liscence not much to do.. same thing almost happened to me dude, it sucks, but just live it out and it gets better

i remember when i was 16, n i got lucky 2 times, i won't tell the stories or nething cuz they're embarassing or stupid, but i know how u must feel. that guy must've been an idiot though cuz after all that time of u starting the turn, he should've noticed u were coming that whole time.

ok, well as an older member on the board, i just have to say that i think you should have to be 21 to drive. i would've kicked your ass if that was me in the explorer. your fault or not, you have no license or insurance. sorry to hear that your car in damaged, but you're ok and hopefully the guy won't sue you. you got off pretty light....

Dude I feel for you because you screwed up your silvia frontend but its hard for me to have that much sympathy for your situation since my 240 was hit by an uninsured driver who ran into the front of my car when I was stopped... Ruined my bumper and hood and caused over $1,000 damage.. her mother offered to pay us 50 dollars a month, so we had to sue her for the damages which took around a year to get through all the red tape and actually get her to pay us... It's a really really really bad idea to drive w/o insurance, I hope you learn a lesson but aside from that I also hope you have good luck fixing your car and finding a way to pay the other guy for his damages...
On a side note, I might try and get a lawyer and contest the fact that you were at fault, because it seems as though he is either completely at fault, or at least equally at fault in the accident.... You should see what your options are, even though the fact you didn't have a license or insurance might hurt you in court, there might be enough evidence to overturn your fault.. Were there any witnesses? |

Well the guy took his SUV to ford today and they estimated $500 worth of damage. He also claims his neck is hurting so on that note my dad called our insurance and filed a claim to cover our asses.
I'd lose in court because I was driving w/out insurance nor a drivers licence. If my dad was with me it would be a whole different ball game. I believe he is at fault because he drove into me. I did all the traffic rules correctly while driving. But I guess driving with out a licence and insurance over rules that. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> We'll see what happens and i'll post about it... On a side note: Does anyone know where to get a slotted (where wind could pass through to the engine) fiberglass hood? I have seen many S13's with them but I dont know where to buy one. |

in this situation.....on comming traffic will always win the case unless there is blantant evidence of speeding. You have to be able to prove that you were at the intersection first. Thats not going to happen. How do I know my friend got hit by oncomming traffic that should have been stopped at the light, (he had the green turngin arrow) since there was no conclusive way to prove that the oncomming traffic should have been stopped (no way to tell that his light was green or red) my buddy lost because he was making a left hand turn. You are getting off really easy on this. Take it as a learning experience and stop trying to pass blame on someone else. If it gets into a battle of he said she said, you are going to loose (because you shouldnt have been there in the first place). I'm glad you arent seriously hurt, and hope you get this taken care of. Dont try and screw the explorer out of his repair bill. (Yes airbags make "smoke" when they go off, its usually they powder that makes the bag not stick to itself in storage)

See, I think he knows what he's done. Remember my "road rage" topic? People told me stuff, but I didn't get mad at anyone. He admitted that it wasn't the right thing to do in the first place. He wanted us to comment on it, and I think that's what we're doing. If it gets out of hand, then yeah, let's lock it, but I don't see a purpose now. I'm sorry.
