Yikes. Good to know that the TSX is truly a five-star safety vehicle. Hope everything works out well.

 

Just glad to hear you're ok after seeing those first pics, man that makes my heart sink looking at something like that. Especially a car that the owner took time to select parts for and modify tastefully, destroyed after so much effort to build over time.

Good luck in dealing with the insurance company and/or lawyers. I agree with the previous poster that the lady deserves to be sued at the least.

I had to do it here to a lady who hit my previous car which was parked in a "hit and run". Witnesses got her plates, the shopping center had camera system in parking lots, I tried to be civil about it and just asked to repair the car. She cancelled her insurance to change to a new provider, so she didnt have insurance at the time. She couldnt pay the full settlement, and the lawyer is still threatening her personal property to this day.

 

glad to hear that you are ok....i hope that you heal quickly and that the insurance company does right by you and just totals the car.

 

good luck.

i got rear ended in my CL, stupid lady in her sable mom-a-wagon didnt have insurance, but it was during a white out and i got pushed into another car so it was like a pile up.

I had a $1000 deductible, they're (Liberty Mutual) still suing her for it to repay me (they send me ltters on and off saying "this is an ongoing effort and has been placed w/ collections) -- don't think i'll ever see it form her. I think i'll start harassing her grrrr..

this was 1.5yrs ago

 

Wow. Many stories about uninsured vehicles.....

 

Glad your alright least the tsx did its job in saving you. How hurt was the lady in the f-150?

Anyone seen the article f-150 vs mini cooper in 60 mph crash test?

Talk about the body structure.

 

Hey Guys... a word to the wise.

Now is a good time to double check your own insurance coverage to make sure you have uninsured motorist coverage and find out just how it really works. Also if you don't already know, ALWAYS get a police report and when you do incur some damage to your ride figure it'll cost you double what you think to get it fixed right. The sad but true facts about being on the receiving end of someone elses bad karma experience. Booooo.

 

A couple things -

1. glad you're ok

2. don't worry about it being totalled... I'm pretty sure that with a sub-$30K car they total it when the damage exceeds half it's value... and even with the $14.5K estimate you're there...

3. What kinda wheels are those? they look cool.... are they 18"s?

 

Not true - mine was $16,500k and not totalled. The ins. co uses 80% of the car's value to total it

 

Thank goodness you're alive! Poor TSX. Sad sight to see.

I could use the stereo harness out of that F-150 if you get a chance though, since you should own it for her lack of insurance. I will take the training off your hands as well.

 

o man thats insane...goood thing ur ok...

if there is any possible way to rip out the k24 motor....ill buy it off you! LMK

 

does your car have GPS~? if i buy would it work~?

 

Glad you're ok.

Most of the time, insurance companies don't just look at the actual value of repairs to total out a car. They also take into consideration of liabilities after the car is repaired. Example, a car with extensive body damage (cosmetic), will most likely be repaired. However, a car that sustains suspension or electrical (wiring/ECU) damages, or fire, will most likely be totaled, due to the fact that insurance companies don't want people coming back 6 months later complaining that their repaired car now has electrical problems (which would end up costing the insurance company more, over time). Same with mechanical work. Insurance companies do not like working on cars that have a tweeked frame and/or cracked engine block/transmission housings.

Looking at the way your car is, there's a good chance that the transmission/block is cracked. If that is the case, there's a very good chance they will total it.

 

Selling those rims? LoL, glad you're okay.

 

 

That is kind of like "man, I am so sorry she dumped you...do you think I can take her out?"

 

does anyone know what kind of rims they are?

and I wouldn't recommend buying them, they appear to be bent...

 

Hey man you dont want those wheels. They are definatly bent and messed up. I bought them from Wheelmax.com. I bought a 17" package and they were $730 for everything. Too bad they were on for a day. Luckily my insurance is going to reimburse me for the OEM kit and the Wheels.

 

she should be shot fucking execution style. but its good to see that ur passenger compartment seemed to hold strong.

 

Yes the car held strong but I am now going after an 04 Silver TL , 6spd, navi, 18 k miles!!
