Well...I got my first accident in my tC.

Basically the light turned yellow, I came to a complete stop and the car behind me thought I was going to run it and sped up...into my butt. her speed was probably 40-45mph, enough to push my car 15-20 feet into the intersection with my foot mashed on the brakes.

So estimate my damages and do you think it's repairable?

Look my bumper fell off!

looks repairable... it doesn't look totalled.

besides... she's at fault from what you mentioned... so yea... her insurance is gonna get that fixed..

that is.... she does have insurance right?

 

Yeah she has insurance, the validity of which is being checked by my insurance company.

Anyway I'm taking my tc in for estimates tomorrow, hopefully there isn't any unibody damage. If no damage to the unibody I think my car will run 6k for repairs.

 

of course her car had to have the clear headlights. what was she speed racer? anyway... def looks repairable. if you wanted a new exhaust... right nows the time.

 

Glad you're alright.
Hopefully from now on she'll start paying attention while driving.

 

what's with all you kids and your tc boo boo's this month.

 

what's with your posts man, you always seems to be in a bad mood.

 

jesus... Maybe all that stuff in your trunk helped prevent more damage j/k

But in all seriousness, your in one piece so thats good. It all looks repairable and should be covered through insurance... maybe u'll get a few extra bills outta it and u can buy some mods for yer car after all is said and done.

 

its that time of month again for chris

 

if you have a deductible with your insurance, don't let your insurance company fix your car since its not your fault, go straight with her insurance or else you'll gona wait months for the reimbursement.

 

Dude that sucks about your car. At least the vvt-i symbol is still working, I hear that it adds around 8whp, so thats good.

 

word....but it's actually 10 hp!

 

Oh my bad.

 

ditto, there will be no reason to go through your insurance
this is 100% their fault, so their insurance is liable for 100% of the claims.

[anytime you are hit at a redlight stopped it is always the other persons fault lol]

 

it was dam nissan hatting off your tC.....

tell that to your agent.......

 

Estimated damages amount to $9000 dollars since there is Unibody frame damage.

 

ouch.

 

it's ok, her insurance has to cover it

 

i agree, very negative

 

$9000 seams about right...

I use to do estimates at a body shop so hears a beak down of what your car is gonna need done

New rear floor pan
New Rear sub frame
New Rear support beam
