awww man...they said it looked like only $6,000 on the first estimate. They had my insurance adjuster come out and take a look...total came out to $10,000 and the blue book on my car is close to $17,000

🙁
 
kick it a few more times, maybe it will fall apart and you can get it totaled. I'd much rather have a car be declared totaled than repair 10K of damage on a 17K car.
 


<< damn, that's a lot. What did you do to it? >>



I was cruising in the slow lane when all of a sudden a late 80's ford crown victoria pulls out it's parking spot about 10 feet ahead of me...didn't even have time to apply the brakes. all i could was brace for impact. This was during daytime on a nice sunny day and i drive a bright red car. He said he didn't see me either that bastard

<< ford crown victoria
by chance how old was this guy? >>


not too old....maybe late 20's early 30's >>


Is his insurance gonna cover you?

It better!
I'd be pissed off it it didn't!
Just out of curiosity, how slow is the slow lane that a guy pulled out of his "parking" spot?
 
wish i could get 10k for my car...isn't even worth $100 POS. :disgust:

they should total it. that is ridiculous

i was crusing at around 35mph on a busy street...he just all of a sudden pulled out
 
OUCH! that's gotta suck man...poor silvia.

I saw a '97 240SX that we were gonna get..but it turned out it had $15K CDN worth of body work done to it, but you couldn't tell by looking at it. Hopefully your car will ride fine, if not demand that you get it totalled and get a replacement 240sx...maybe this time with some cash left over for a SR20DET!

Best of luck, oh I'll get mIRC tomorrow at work...PM me then.
 


<< I could get a 6-pack of my car for $10,000 (seriously) >>

Cost ~$1000 once you figure in all the repairs I've done.

It's really a POS car, but it's reliable as anything, and despite it's extreme lacking of power is fun to drive.
 
Ever wonder how a car worth only about $1000 can take $5000 worth of damage, and only be worth $1200 after the damage is fixed? No applicable in your case, but still something to wonder about...
