well, the car will be like new on wednesday, the rims are trash though so that is a big hit because i dont think its possible to find those rims anymore...

Insurance didnt touch it because i couldnt provide the truck drivers license plate number so i had to pay $1078 out of pocket to fix my car. I didnt even take pictures because the body damamge was minimal. My wheels took the full force of the barrier.

If anyone knows where to still get O-Z Chronoevolutions please let me know!

Did you not have but liability on your car??? My wife's accident WAS her fault (over-corrected), but the insurance company just cut us a 7k+ check for the damages. (Full coverage of course).

i share insurance with my brother and he just totalled his car 2 weeks ago. If I made a big stink about this with insurance, they would probably end my coverage.

Geez, that sux.. on the way back from work last week (middle of the day) a semi did the same thing to me. I don't think they can see our little cars. I was clearly along side of him right in the middle of the semi's length. He just started to move over on me. I was just about under him because my car is so low, then I swerved onto the shoulder and dropped it down into 3rd so I could get by without being nailed. Then when the semi heard my extra loud exhaust he swerved back as fast as he could and almost rolled his semi, the tires on the trailer came off the ground on one side. He could have also been asleep, its hard to tell. They drive shifts that are like 1000 miles in 2 days around the clock. I just stay ahead of semi's now, I pass them as quick as I can. I don't even follow them because I have been hit with tires before.. not too long ago one threw a bolt at me that fell off of it, and it made a chip in my windshield that I still need fixed.

Yah a while ago i remember someone on the forum getting their stuff totaled because they where runn off by a truck. The best thing to do with truckers is probably just to pass extremely quickly.

Did i mention that this accident has put me in debt? YAY!

Nothing better than looking at the car you love and thinking whether you should try to sell it so you dont have to eat dog food! SCORE!

Semi-Trucks rule!

well, i didnt get his license plate number because i was too busy trying to regain control of my car. I share insurance with my dad and my brother and my dad recently had an accident and my brother just totaled his car so if i claimed this, they would drop my coverage...

Insurance sucks, you pay and pay and pay and pay like the little pawn that you are, so that when it comes time to claim what you have been paying for, they just say F*CK YOU!
