Good to hear that nobody was seriously injured and...........

It's nice to hear that you went to the doctor quickly for treatment; you neevr know what maybe out of order.


I was involved in an T-bone accident 10+ years ago (where the other driver ran a red light and hit the passenger side which I was the passenger too) that resulted in 10+ months of physical therapy for my back and neck.


At least your son was not in the car; if it were me and I had a child in the car I would be quite angry to say the least.

I hope you recover fully

good luck!
You havent been in the car game very long. Just a minor fender bender today is 3K to 4K. That evo has a fair amount of damage. I bet once they get in that car there will be more damage found and the bill will go up even from the 12k[/QUOTE]


i realize its super expensive on the evo... i know any little hit is at least 5k... i was just comparing, if it was an accord or a grand am. it would sooo cheap to fix.
i was rear ended 2 years ago, i needed a new bumper and tail light, the bill was 560. to get a brand new one, prep, paint, tail light and labor.

i think thats what drives insurance up.. not the fact its an accident. every time there is one they have to shell out 20k+ i doubt theyre making any money from evo's.

cheers!

Good to hear that you weren't seriously hurt.
Looks like it might be time for a JDM bumper and a modified crash bar to go with that.

Wreckelss endangerment, carless drving, speeding, get him for all of it cause they would want it done to us if we were the ones that hit him at 45 mph.

I do get stopped for my tinted windows (5% limo all around). However, I have never been cited (obviously). The idiot gangbangers in So. Central LA, like to follow coppers home and ambush them..... SOOO cops never cite for that...they can relate themselves.. (95% of cops have limo tint on their cars for that reason....tactics)

I am probably going to keep the car...I am not a huge fan of the styling of the X. Besides....I got the report from the body shop that the pan/frame (if you can call it a frame) is straight. I am partial to this year and make....it's the first US model ya know?

I hear you.... the problem in California is that cops cannot cite for a misdemeanor (traf cite) NOT commited in their presence. And well.....I was off duty! I am really not upset.... based on statistics, as drivers we will be in a large wreck on the average of every ten years (at fault or not). So i look at it this way, I am good for ten more years!
