All we wanted was some BBQ...
Aaron/Brownman (turbotalon1g from MitsuStyle) was in town last night so Janelle and I figured we'd take him out for some delicious TX BBQ...

I swerved and hit the brakes, but going so slow there wasn't much I could do. Had he done the same I think things would have been ok, but he had headphones in and just kept accelerating right into my car. The cops of course didn't really do **** and told him to just go on his way. I had my car flat-bedded to the best body shop in the area so we'll see what they and my insurance company have to say about the car. |
Sorry to hear man, atleast no one got injured.
|
They didn't give the guy who hit you a ticket? Sorry to see that, Chris. Looks like you might be getting into your S2k sooner than you thought... (and certainly not in the manner you were anticipating)
|
Easier than selling the car :) I have a friend that's a body shop manager (at a honda dealership) if it's close to the total amount <wink wink, nudge nudge>
|
ouch...atleast everyone's ok {thumbup}. 'hope everything turns out fine with the car.
|
Dude, that sucks! Sorry to hear (and see) about the car. Good thing is everyone is ok. The car can be fixed or replaced. Life can't. {thumbup}
Like a couple others have said, this could be the stars aligning for you in order to get back into an S2000 though. ;) |
sucks but then again ;)
|
Damn! looks like just new doors & fender though, bolt on parts...
|
We'll see once the body shop starts taking the car apart. At this point its looking like mainly sheet metal damage, but they'll know for sure about the pillars/frame once they tear into it. It's going to need a new front lip and undertray too, and the bodyshop guy mentioned adding the wheels to the estimate due to some scratches. I also told him to be sure and account for the clear bra and window tint.
Even though I've been thinking about selling the car this isn't how I wanted it to go out :( |
Dude that blows. Make sure you squeeze every penny out of that guy's insurance company. I would.

At this point I think it will be paid for from my insurance. The guy's insurance card showed an expiration date of 4/09/10 but for some reason the cops still let him go w/o a citation! Basically from what I can tell the Grapevine cops are worthless; we'll see what the police report says (supposedly it will be available online within a few days).

DUDE! There's got to be some mistake. I've lived in Bedford for over a decade and I've been harassed by Grapevine police multiple times. I've always seen them as the most Nazi-ish city.
That REALLY doesn't sound right. There's no way the police let him go without insurance. Check the report. If they didn't issue a citation, take yourself up to the police department and raise hell. Seriously. -Acree |
