So two days ago I got in an accident where I hit a wall, then another car hit the wall, and then another. Basically it was a disaster and I am pretty sure my car is totaled

I will let u know what happens as I hear from the insurance. the body shop says @ least 8k in damages.

The list of damages goes as follows:
Front bumber
Front right fender
Front right rim
Front right axle
Rear bumber
Rear left quarter panel
Real tale light
Rear axle
Rear right rim
Rear door
Left passenger drum break
Bleeding of brakes

 

oh man....its good to know you're alive and well...that must have been a HARD hit to break the drum....hope it's not a complete loss but...it seems your cobra will be your daily for now..hope it all goes well!

 

Glad to hear you're okay. And TRDxD, why wouldn't you hope for a total loss with that much damage? I'd hope it is.. I wouldn't want to fix it for half the cost of the car..

And OP, it's bumPer, not bumBer.

 

well if insurance is willing to front the cost of it, then i know i'd be happy to at least get a fixed car back? but oh well haha difference of opinion i guess?

 

how did you hit a wall?

 

Yeah if they total my car (which is a possibility) then I am loooking for a new XD.

I'm just glad I bought the GAP insurance through toyota financial roflmao.

I hit the wall IkonXone by hydroplaning going 55mph on the freeway and slamming into it. It wasn't pretty and there wasn't much of anything I could do in the 3 seconds that it happened.

If they fix the car Imma take it to an idependent Body shop or a dealer body shop to get a frame analysis. IF the frame is bent still imma ask them to total it. If it isn't (which i doubt) then I am going to get an assload of new parts on my car

 

Speaking of hydroplaning.. I've hydroplaned before, but nothing like my drive home from work last week. I was going 35-40 on the freeway for more than half the way home (15 min). Anything over that, and I'd feel the water under the tires. Scary stuff. Again, glad you're safe man.

 

what freeway was it on? i can only imagine the back up on the freeways in so cal. when i had my xb in for work i went to body shop quality toyota uses. that place did a great job and got the work done early.

 

lucky you are ok.

 

oh dude yuo live in Riverside! I was just up there. the weather was AWFUL. i almost hydroplaned too, it was pretty scary (this was just yesterday) My guess was the 60 fwy?

 

Oh so YOU'RE the one who caused that big ruckus on the road the other day!

nono kidding

Glad to hear your ok! I've hydroplaned a bit the other day (Monday) for a good distance but nothing happened thankfully.

Also, get an xD if its totaled! You'll love it

 

It was actually on the 91west bound heading towards Santa Santa ana.
I'm looking at an Xd righ tnow

 

i hydroplaned a bit coming down la sierra going to the 91 on sunday night... pretty scary stuff... i thought my tires where better than that

glad your ok

 

that was going to be my second guess (the 91...because those are the only two major fwys i know in riverside.)

i second Chels' opinion...you'll love the xD (i love mine :D!!!) again..its good to hear youre okay. let us all know if you end up getting the D

 

Alright well rightnow I am trying to get my insurance company to total the xa because of the extent of the damages. I went over to the body shop today and my damages are 7,100 dollars. So basically about 75% of the vehicles value.
It looks so bad I feel bad that I wrecked it.

 

good news is you were able to post this....

 

don't blame yourself on it. hydroplaning is a freak accident, and obviously you weren't alone in the situation. many others felt your pain that day. hopefully you can get it totaled as you want, and open up some new options for your daily.

 

Well good news my friends I got the car back today and man does this thing look SEXY! I mean they basically painted my front and back ends and since I requested all man. parts from allstate It looks sexy. I'll have pictures up once I give it a good wash tommorow.....I'm excited to have it back. Should I give it an oil change since it has been sitting so long?


AND SORRY FOR THE NECRO POST I DIDNT WANT TO MAKE A NEW TOPIC!

 

most likely won't hurt to give it an oil change anyways

 

nice that people cared and didnt just start callin dibs on parts
