I live in Syracuse, NY which is one of the heaviest amounts of snowfall in the United States, and this past week we've been having bad snow storms. Long story short, the guy in front of me at a stop sign at decided to turn his car off and turn off his lights (it was around 11 at night) and because of the snowfall i couldn't see him until i got near him, when i started slowing down i was going about 5 mph and slid on ice and slid into his hitch and back tire. My car got completely smashed, while his car is perfectly fine. The insurance company didn't put it as anyones fault, but my baby is completely smashed. the damages came to about 9 grand

 

Ugghhhh that sucks dude...

 

Sorry to hear that! At least you are okay, and insurance should pay for it to get fixed up nicely. Maybe you can even work in some upgrades at no cost.

Carbon hood? Sucks dude. That's why you have insurance though right? Glad it was low speed.

 

ya i ordered a used evo x intercooler kit for $400 on here and the insurance rated the stock intercooler at $900 so i dont have to pay my deductible and i get $400 credit

 

should get some snow tires bro.

this wouldnt have happened.

 

have snow tires. it was black ice and a blizzard. we have about 2 feet on snow on the ground right now

 

damn sorry bro..

Consider it extra insurance for your time and heartache and then it makes it even easier to justify the expense.

 

That sucks

 

wow only 5mph im surprised of the damage. the RA crumpled like a can... sorry to hear about it, hopefully you will get a good loaner car in the meantime (although its not likely lol)

 

sucks for a new car like this to get damaged already, but you guys have to understand that because our cars are awd, that doesn't mean that they don't slide or spin like the rest of the cars. Yea they plow through snow easier and handle better BUT just like everything with wheels they do have to stop eventually, so drive careful cause snow and ice are very tricky.

 

Ouch.

Hood, bumper, IC, grille,. headlights (?), radiator (?)

Definitely go with some upgrades if you have the extra cash for it.

 

lol ya i got a ****in nissan versa. Thats even better in the snow (sarcastic tone)

 

ouch, sorry to hear that man!
