I cant believe what happened last night, just going to the diner here i am stopped at the traffic light getting ready to make a left onto the other street....Just got the green light. Here comes a speeding SUV through the red light hitting a honda civic with 2 girls that were going straight, after that the suv stopped and broke the casing of my left head light, scratched bumper and more. I could be mad about it which i was at first, but I am thankful to be alive and I have god to thank for that. The girls in the civic were not hurt thank god they got hit pretty hard, their car is totalled. Here i am wondering about my brand new car that I got on April 3rd 2003 and Aprilt 4th 2003 at 10PM my car is already damaged sad story but good ending. Always be thankful for what you have.

 

oh shit...that f-ing blows. Damn NY SUV drivers.

 

Scary. Glad to hear that everyone was ok though (what happened to the SUV driver? Was he hurt at all?).

 

No one was hurt but they took him to the precint i told the cop they were speeding which they were, even on a red light!!!!

 

I dont know whats going to happen now...I have 8 points on my license for speeding to help my sister in her accident, the car is under my bros insurance and im not listed as a driver can they deny me as a driver under his insurance? because of my 8 points?

 

yes, I think they can

 

The car is insured, not the driver. If you loan your car to someone and they get in an accident, it's your insurance, not the driver's. At least that's how it works around here.

 

I just want to have my baby back on the road..i mean i can drive it but it hurts just looking at it especially it was just 2 days old, i didnt even get to take it for gas!!! I was still half a tank from the dealership! So sad but i guess she will be ok.

 

damn...that sux...but glad you are ok.

 

If you get insurance money, find a good place to do the work and get some mods witht he extra $$$. Where in NY are you?

 

It sounds like just a slight damage, get it fixed and it will be perfect again.

 

Yea its not that bad im jus upset a brand new car!!!!!! i wanted to kill that person im sure u all would probably feel the same way too, waxing your car, not a dust speckle to be found then some idiot smashes your lights ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!. Im out on Long Island titan19 know any good places? I went around today and they all close. Thanks!

 

The insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver. It'll be fixed under your brother's policy and should not increase the premium since it wasn't your fault.

As long as you're not listed as a Non-Driver or an Excluded Driver, you're fine.

 

My baby

Please tell me its not that bad!!!

 

fawk man, i'm sorry. fuck that sob that hit u, just fix your car, if the frame aint bent and nothing mechanical got it it will look and run as good as new once its all fixed up

 

Where on LI, If it is in Nassau, Syosset Autobody does great work.

 

Im in Nassau....where are they located? Also how long do you think it will take to fix (i mean replace) everything and get it back on the road?

 

In Syosset, right by the train station, You will need to bring it by on Monday but they will take a look at it and then get the necessary parts, and then when they have the parts they will tell you to drop the car off probably for 2 to 3 days, The paint needs to dry.

 

If that was true then your insurance wouldn't cover you in a rental? Or if someone else is speeding in your car it goes on your insurance? Don't think so.

Maybe it is different in MA.

 

grrr! damn dickheads!!! i feel bad for you!!

 

I can't really reccoment any body shop that I've had experience with. Maybe some of the other members could help. I'm coming home for passover weekend, would you guys be down for a local meet? Oh yeah, I live in New Hyde Park.

 

oh thats pretty bad

new hood and new headlight casing and repaint front bumper and both front fenders. looks like $1200 worth of damage to me...

You guys have local meets where can i get more info on this...I was searching for a LI Acura club but came up empty!

 

Its always painful to see a CL lookin like that. I'm out on Long Island too and I know a great place in Merrick on the South Shore if your still looking. Its Merrick Collision & Towing. They've fixed up a handful of my cars and they always do great work.

Get that sucker back on the road ASAP!

 

Im always interested, i just dont want them fixing the parts i mean its a brand new car so i need everything replaced let the idiots insurance company deal with it...I saw your pics we have the same ride dont you just love that color?

 

Hellz yeah, Anthracite is an awesome. I couldn't make up my mind between this color or black. In the end i'm glad I went the way I did.

So far i've only seen one other CL in Anthracite, this guy from my GYM owns it. I know there a bunch of others, but out of sight out of mind.
