shattered dreams..........

[3rdGenHatchBack]

well, was on my way to mail some stuff that i sold on ebay, doing about 25 in a residential.....when BAM!





some stupid bitch pulled out in front of me.......

first thing she says is "jesus chirst ow fast were you going? i didnt even see you so you had to have been flying...."

i said "i was going UNDER the speed limit, and your stupid ass started pulling into your driveway when i was like 5 feet from you"

them she proceeded to say "well....this is bad, because i DONT HAVE INSURANCE, and im filing bankrupcy....im completely broke....."

after alot of cursing onm my part we came up with the agreement that she FINDS a way to pay for the damages in 60 days or else i send that special little paper to the dmv that gets her license taken away until she pays the debt off, then she would also have to have sr22 insurance for 2 years after she got her license back.........good god it has been a bad weekend...on top of all that, my laptop was laying on the passenger seat.....and it is completely destroyed.....i went to get an estimate on the damage, and the lowest one was 1600.00 and the highest was 2300.00 which is a complete total.....BUT it doesnt matter because i gave her the highest one....

she THINKS she might be able to put this into her bankrupcy as a personal debt, and that will pay for it, but i dont know how all that crap works...

i will prolly have to take her to court over it.....my poor baby got all crunk!!





i managed to get SOME of it pulled out with a "come-along" attached to the bumper and the other side to a tree, but it is still pretty damn bad.

BEFORE



AFTER some pulling:



i am so pissed, you guys cant even imagine....... all i can say is i better see some restitution or i am going to make this womans life complete hell until the day she dies......i am an evil mofo.....which she may soon find out.....

[3rdGenHatchBack]

oh, and a piece of advice to you all.....steer clear of the middle aged female.....i have been in 11 accidents where some stupid middle aged bitch was at fault.....but up until now...all of them have had insurance.....i swear there out to get me......

[88Accord-DX]

Damn, thats sucks. I bet you will have to take her to court. She don't have insurance & is filing bankruptcy, c'mon. I bet she don't even have a job. I don't see Chapter 13 paying for that, but could be wrong. Sounds like a big waiting game for the money to come through. You car is totalled out if she had insurance agent look at it.

EDIT- Chapter 11 is for a buisness bankruptcy, Chapter 13 is for an individual.

[MIK3]

11 different scenarios, holy hell man...

Oh, by the way, did I mention I HATE IDIOTS.

That woman was one of them.

[paso100]

If you wait for her to do the right thing you're wasting your time and playing HER game. Why? She's got more on her mind than paying you. DON'T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE. File a police report, contact YOUR insurance, contact the DMV, file a small claims case and DO IT NOW. If you don't, all you're waiting for is to get SCREWED.

[HostileJava]

If you were both going under the speed limit how could you not stop in time? I mean no offense but it looks like she was pretty far into that turn when you hit her.

[88Accord-DX]

True, if he didn't file a police report, he might have screwed himself allready. You need a police report for any civil lawsuit for proof.

[88accordalltheway]

yea seriously, dont wait, waiting only makes things worse. Did you happen to get anything in writing from her? Cause if its only in words, you might be fuxD. Sorry to see your car like that bro, get it fix the best you can and rape the lady in court.

[mr eff]

oh, and a piece of advice to you all.....steer clear of the middle aged female.....i have been in 11 accidents where some stupid middle aged bitch was at fault.....but up until now...all of them have had insurance.....i swear there out to get me......

this is how you will meet your future wife

[phrenology]

Damn! If that happened to me and it was their fault I beat on her car with a sledge hammer and give her a swift kick in the ass! Back over her with a car and then shove her off a steep cliff. People are complete douche bags! When life gives you lemons...juice em' and throw it in someone's eyes...EVIL EVIL!!!

Yeah but there is that whole-legal mumbo-jumbo...I hate the American legal system! You'll end up sitting in a wheel chair with brain damage for 4 years after an accident before insurance lawyers do something about it. We should be able to take the law into our own hands...haha I sound like a total anarchist redneck. Lawyers suck too cause they never seem to work for you unless you are willing to pay them half of your 5 million dollar award.

Well at least you're okay man. Drive safe and stay away from the blind, slow-ass middle-age women! Sue the crap out of her, make her life more hell, join the hatchback club and move on. At least you didn't have a fresh $5K paint job or something. If you love your Accord that much you'll let it go and find another car to love...

[A20A1]

Yeah the police are the expert witness or something like that... if you don't call the police it's all up for grabs.

[TheWatcher]

I'm NOT a big fan of dude2uc, since he's a hater, but he's 100% right. You need to file a police report. Even if it's late. Call the police, file the police report then ask them to visit the lady (since she was pulling into her driveway, you know where she lives). The police can document your damaged car and her damaged car. Also, show them the pictures.

MAYBE she plans to fix HER car in the 60 days, but NOT your car. After she fixes HER car, she might claim she wasn't in an accident w/ your car. That way she doesn't have to pay for your repairs and avoids the SR-22. Then she will fight you in small claims court.

Also, maybe she DOES have insurance, but is lying to you. Maybe she doesn't want her premiums to go up.

In any case, like dude2uc mentioned, you need the police report to protect yourself, and for your potential case in small claims court.

Make sure the estimates include genuine HONDA PARTS ONLY. Don't settle for less, you deserve no less.

Accidents are a fact of life, but you have to protect yourself. I had someone hit my '87 Civic trying to pass me on a ONE-LANE street. They claimed they didn't have insurance, but I waited for the police and filed a report to protect myself. They paid for my repairs, but the body shop used parts that were NOT genuine Honda parts. The body shop was looking out for the person who was paying the bill. So don't make my mistake. BTW, I'm never using that body shop again (brother of my cousin owns it).

Good luck.

Hope this helps.

Peace.

[Busted_Blue]

heh..its because you have an Acura sign on your car. =P

The Watcher, whether we are fans of each other isn't relevant here. My problem with anyone on here is whether they keep making or make negative comments in a thread. I apologize if I offended you in any way. I don't want to dig up some comments to prove my point. Lets leave the past in the past & not use derogatory comments for any benefit toward a post at each other.

Agreed. My bad. Right back at you with the apology.

You are clearly the bigger man.

Peace.

dam bro that sucks ass

[Forgar_88]

waaaaaaaa! another one died! Why are people tryin to kill the 3g? hey i woulda wanted to beat the hell out of her car after that happened. good luck gettin it all cleared up though

[halxi]

That sucks man!

To get the best estimate, go to honda, have them qoute you the price for each part that needs to be replaced (on paper, of course). Then go to a body shop and have them qoute you labor, paint, materials, and any other misc. things. Also, find the recipt to your laptop or get the average price off the same model from the net and take it to court.

Ive never caused/been in an accident, nor taken anyone/been taken to court but this should pretty much be common sense.


hostile... in defence of a guy i met in person, youd be surprised at how stupid some people are, there is a HIGH possibility that the girl was either a.) not paying attention, or b.) tried to beat him to the driveway. And, its harder then youd think to stop, take into account, both cars traveling towards each other at 25mph, is like 1 car traveling towards a brick wall at 50. But in this case, you have different reaction times to hitting the brakes, so one could of been doing 25 and slowing, while the other didnt do anything. Not to mention, neither of those cars will stop very fast from 25mph. You have an SE-i so you may have a little edge on braking, and i dont know about you but even braking HARD from 25-30mph, it takes a good 15-20 feet to come to a complete stop. Since both cars have front end damage it is incredibly hard to judge who was at fault.

[3rdGenHatchBack]

oh dont worry guys, i got it all in writing, stationg that is 100% her fault, and she will do whatever needs to be done to pay for the repairs in the next 3 months. not only that, but i have a scan of her id, and social security card PLUS i have pictures of her signing the paper i had her write out. along with pictures of the whole scene, the tire marks from my car and the peel out marks from her car. i got my ass covered.


as far has her being pretty far into her turn......i was going about 20-25 mph, and she LOOKED like she was going to wait for me to pass before pulling in, you know....like any sane person would. but i guess she thought she would be ballsy or something, and gassed it, car peeled out, which fortunatley gave off obvious peel out marks and not brake marks......


but yea, im not too worried about it anymore

[3G Jester]

im pretty sure it doesnt matter and that you still need a police report. at least for your insurance. you dont have uninsured motorist?

at least the accident helped you get that god awful acura badge off your car.
dont get me wrong..i love acuras....but....i love acura acuras. or acura engines in hondas. not acura badges on hondas.

[3rdGenHatchBack]

i love acura acuras. or acura engines in hondas.

ever looked under the hood of an acura?!?!?

"acura motors" ARE HONDA motors

[halxi]

all acura's are is a sub company of honda, more or less the "american" version.

Note: Acura RSX, Honda Integra... Acrua NSX, Honda NSX... honda owns acura.

Look under the hood of any acura you want and you will find a honda motor

[dalinxz]

so why are you getting so mad I LOVE ACURAS its the luxury line its the same as Toyota that owns Lexus or Volkswagon with Audi.
