Well this morning sucked. I wake up to the sound of screetching tires and a crash. Then the phone rings.
My 1st thought, OH GOD SHE TOOK MY CAR THIS MORNING.

I put on some pants and a shirt and run outside. I see the 240sx in the drive way of the apt complex, and about 75-80ft away there's a 00-01 Olds Alero that she hit.(our apt complex exit is blocked on both sides by cars that illegally park there every night so getting out is risky). Any ways, the person in the Olds was doing about 50 in a 30, lost control, she had her seat WAAAY back like a homie, veried right, went over a curb through a tree, and hit a 01 Trans Am WS6. She hit it so hard, it pushed the Trans Am into the Toyaota RAV-4 next to it, and that pushed in to the Honda Civic next to it. When the cop should up, she claimed she was going 25.

The 240sx(my car will need the front bumper replaced,(bumper just has some rub marks on it and a busted turn light.)

No one was hurt.
The sucky part, is my GF doesn't have insurance.

Wait, so an oldsmobile came flying down the street, your girlfriend pulled out from a side street and rammed it and sent it flying into 3 other cars?
 
I would be *SO* pissed off if i was that Firebird owner.
Walk outside to find your car wrecked... just sitting in it's parking spot.. GRR
utter infuriation, i can see it now! :|

EDIT:

hahahaha 🙂
 
You did a crappy job of explaining that, but if I'm right (see earlier post) hten your girlfriend better be rich (which I'm guessing she's not if she doesn't have insurance) cause she has 4 cars to fix.

Nope... i don't either... 😕

she(driving the 240sx) put her nose out in traffic and clipped the Alero

Ok that makes sense... so the driver of the Alero had her seat all the way back like a "homie" as you say?
 
OK, in my apt complex, people park on the street blocking any view you have of oncomming traffic. You have no choice but to inch out and try to peak around the people that park on the corner and sometimes blocking part of the drive way.

She, my GF, had the nose of the 240 sticking out about half a foot so she could see around the truck that was parked on the corner. she proceeded to go and that's when the speeding Alero came by and got hit in the rear quarter. Estimates of the Alero's speed in a 35MPH zone put it at 65+. Since it is a GM after 98 it has a black box recorder in it, so i will have those records pulled to show that she was in fact speeding in a residential neighborhood that has a park on one side, and school on the other.

It's plain to see that the Alero driver lost control. BTW the rain hadn't started till after the accident.

This is sorta like my accident... technically the speeding Alero has the right away... so chances are your GF will get the blame just like i did... despite the other driver being careless... don't you hate that?... :|
 
As a firebird owner, I too would feel upset at this tragic event.

Then, when I found out that the idiots had no insurance, I'd start laughing. I carry UIM, so my insurance company would just take it out of their hide!.
 
well all you saying she's stupid for not having insurance, some people believe it or not can't afford it. She makes about 30K a year, after rent, food, daycare it's all gone.

Uninsured/underinsured means, YOUR insurance pays it.
They can sue the uninsured/underinsured person, but since it would be in civil court, there is no real way to make them pay up. And all one has to do to get out of any judgement against them, is to file bankruptcy. And seeing as how her credit is screwed anyways, why not if it comes down to it??

If she doesn't have insurance, then surely she shouldn't be driving?

Not sure if it's the same over there, but over here in the UK it's illegal (i think...or so i've been told) to drive a car without insurance.

Well it's illegal here in Canada.. it's something like a $10,000 fine. I'd never drive without insurance... NO WAY.

It's illigal here to, but in my part of town there are no buses, no public transportation, and if she wants to feed her child she has to go to work, which means drive there.

Well then maybe instead of driving that car that she obviously can't afford insurance for, she should find a car that she can afford insurance for. Cos it would have been MUCH cheaper to be insured on a cheap runaround than have to get all those other cars repaired.
