A silver 06 IX MR/SE just came into the towing yard next door to my work. Looks to have gotten rear ended and pushed into another car. Rear quarter is buckled, front end is messed up pretty good. Looks to have buschur exhaust, and an ETS intercooler atleast. And coolant leaking all over the flatbed Hope your alright!

 

ouch. dont know anyone in area to have that car. must be from out of town

 

I just walked over to the car(Hope the owner doesnt mind! Im not gonna steal anything, dont worry lol) and did a little snooping. Its def a well setup car, so id have to guess they are on the forum. Has CBRD license plate frames.

 

Doh... hope they are ok.

 

oh noes, hope it isnt steve martones car! we just did some work to that,

has a TS T4 setup from jmfab, our fmic, our radiator etc...

Has a twin wastegate setup. z1 star specs on the stock SE wheels. It def has a CBRD rad(now broken though)

 

awww man,

that was the car another shop screwed up damaged his cbrd rad, we reinstalled another....

it was here a week ago for a retune.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing Chad! JUST got that car back. Sitting at the light and some clueless chick yacking on her cell phone plows right into me and slams me into the car in front of me. Atleast everyone was ok and she admitted fault so it's off to the bodyshop. I'm sure they are going to have fun piecing that car back together.

I think it looks worse then these pictures show but we'll see when the estimate comes.





Looks like I'll need a matching license plate holder in the back now.

 

you sure it's not gonna get totaled?

I had similiar front end damage if not slightly worse on my car a couple years ago and it was about $12-13k insurance ALMOST totaled her........

 

Not sure. I guess I'll find out Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The thought had crossed my mind. Wouldn't know what to do if it were. I like the 9s and I'm really not crazy about the Xs.

 

That sucks dude! At least your ok...

Are both rear quarters crumpled like that? Thats never a good thing... Hopefully they can fix it for you.

Good Luck

 

No, just the driver side is crumpled. I highly doubt the car is totalled, the damage really isnt THAT bad...

 

I guess you can get that front lip taken care of as part of the repairs now.... Sorry to hear about the accident, at least you're ok!! Sounds like you got that damn front pipe leak finally resolved. That design is a PITA fo sho!

 

just get another IX then and transfer the parts over glad to hear you're ok as well

 

Wouldn't quite be the same. Bought this car with 8 miles on it. I dunno I'm picky like that. Told the dealer I wouldn't buy anything with more then whatever it took to get it off the docks. They shipped it from PA in a truck.

I thought it was going to be ok too. I heard about Shaun's car and how easily that was totalled and he had a brand new X. It keeps getting brought up so I'm getting nervous.
.And to think I just bought a new SE lip too. Anyone need a brand new SE lip? lol

Thanks everyone for caring. I'll keep you posted on what happens
