Another one bites the dust

[Rebel]

Driving home tonight, I was sitting at a light, it turned green and I turned left and was hit passenger side by a minivan. Car took it like a champ, but the left front is fffed. Pretty pissed, especially since I just painted the rims and redid the brembos on it about a month or two ago and it was just a couple months from being paid off. Was determined not at fault, so that's good, but I'm out a car now..

At least I walked away, albeit a little sore.

[Outlaw]

Sorry to hear about the car but at least you're OK.

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Sorry to hear about that. Where'd it happen?

 

[greasy]

That sucks! So you think the car is totalled? Like everyone else said, at least you are walking away ok.

 

[slowchevy]

If you're totaled buy it back and part it out

It has to be 9 model years or older to buy back a car in Illinois. Learn your facts.

[Spivitz]

that sucks, glad you are OK

 

[SleeperLS]

Damn dude. That is a huge bummer. X2 about contacting their insurance about a rental. They should take care of you no problem.

Time to get a Vette

somewhere near getting on 355 south.

sucks to get hit. glad you are ok. car can be replaced. sucks that you were so close to paying it off but that also means if it is a total loss it is more you get to help buy a new one.

 

[Rebel]

Yeah, back to square one with car payments though.

Sorry to hear about that. Where'd it happen?

Roosevelt RD turning left onto the 355 North on ramp.

Yeah, the rim and everything around it was bent including the axle. And if it wasn't messed up enough, dragging it from the grass off the curb onto the tow truck definitely finished the job. Then there's still the door and the front fender. She was going about 40mph, I would guess.

Mine didn't. I thought I had "rental coverage" on my policy, but it mysteriously dropped at the last renewel and I never noticed. My car was vandalized and had to be completely repainted due to damage on every panel, the front windshield replaced...etc. Lots of damage.

Did I get a rental car? No, I either had to pay out of pocket for a rental car, or sit at home for the 2 weeks it was going to take to fix it.

That sucks about the car. I like Cobalt SSs. Specially the TC/SS models. Since GM no longer even makes that car that should be good for you if they total it out. Higher payout.

My daily's value is way up because the car is no longer produced, and very difficult to find a matching car used. So they would have had to pay-out quite a bit more over the average model/year if they wanted to total it.

Damm that sucks, but glad you are OK

 

[SRT41320]

thats sucks but like everyone said... at least you're ok

 

[ldyzluvdis06]

[Smokinhot]

Man that sucks, but glad your ok.

What?! That's bs, unless they changed the rules. Back in '04 my '94 Sierra got totaled, which was 3 models behind, and i bought it back. as goes for my '92 Silverado in '06

really dude.

Not sure. We just bought a 2013 altima about 2 months ago. I might use that, but I kind of want a used 3 series BMW or the new 2013 genesis coupe.

Took a pic of the axle while I was at the salvage lot. Looks like it's leaking oil too.
