Old Drivers

What happens when you get and old driver who doesnt look both ways before pulling out into traffic, then decides to stop in the middle of the intersection?


Before






AFTER










I've learned you cant have nice things in this world, I saved up for three years to buy this car, and now I feel like I could really care less.

How it happened.

It's just a car man. At least nothing bad happened to you.

Now for the other side. From your picture it looks like you should have had PLENTY of time to react and miss him. If those skid marks are any indication it appears that you where speeding at least to me. Pretty LONG skid there. Always be aware of the intersections.

Guess lesson learned. Looks like your car should be able to be fixed without much problem.

Idk, the right wheel is broken off and turns freely, I coasted to a stop in 2nd gear and the car didnt turn off, no foot on clutch, so I'm confident that something is very screwed up. The frame for the hood is nonexistent, my ams intercooler survived however, or at least I think.

Those just show my path, not my skid marks, actual skids were like 10 yards long.

Hopefully the police deemed the other person at fault???

Sorry to see that. Best thing is that noone was hurt.

Well, now you can go get a 2010

Yeah if its totalled, but I have a feeling they are going to try to fix it, even though there is frame damage. and a whole lot of other damaged stuff.

They'll find frame damage once they dig into and they'll have to total it.

At least the other guy's insurance is paying and it won't affect your insurance rates
