Ok, so I'm with my friend after school in my brand new 03 Cl-S ... Im a lucky guy. Anyhow so I am at the light stopped waiting for the light to turn green. Behind me in my rear view mirror is an old Jeep Cherokee and I see it approaching, but I do not see the womans face... only her hand. Therefore she must of been looking for something in her center console. The next thing you know... bam hit right in the back at about 20 mph. The reason my parents allowed me to have this car is because of its safety, and man it sure held up! I didnt even feel the collision just a huge sound, and there was a car right in front of me, and my car just didnt move!

 

sorry 2 heard that bro

just gives u another reason why we should always drive defensively

 

Thats true.. but in this situation I couldnt drive defensively... I was stopped at a light lol!

 

I'm sorry about your accident. I just got mine back from the bodyshop myself. But there's no way you were hit by a Cherokee at 20 mph and have that little damage on the trunk. You were bumped at 10 mph or less, the metal is barely folded. At that speed, there's no such thing as a "safe" or "unsafe" car. It's just a matter of how expensive the body work is right where it was hit.

 

I honestly, dont think it was like 5 mph, I was looking back in my rear view mirror, long before she hit me, and believe me she didnt just brake short... she didnt break at all!

 

Also, the picture looks better than it really is. The bumper overlaps the other trunk piece, and the trunk is pretty bad. I will need a new bumper and the trunk piece... as well as a new left light, since it is cracked. My dad is going to make sure that the insurance pays for genuine acura parts.. and I am going to get the work done at the Acura Dealer. I wonder how long it should take?

 

i'm sorry to hear that, its good that ur aight though, if that was me i would of beat the shit out of that bitch, aint no body gonna fuc w/ my ride.

ps, why did you choose the gold trim??

 

I know everyone has mixed opinions about the gold emblem kit... but I honestly like it a lot. I just wish I didnt get the "S" in gold.. and kept it red.

 

my fault renegade, didn't mean 2 sound like a dick

but ur rite, theres nothing u can do, same thing happened 2 me too but at 10mph from some punk in a gs300

hopefully u get it back soon

 

Nope, you didnt sound like a dick at all. It's not at the shop yet, still gotta wait for the insurance company to call. How long do you think it will be from when I bring it into the dealer until i get it back?

 

well my car didn't have any damage 2 the floorpan so i got it back w/in 2days but then again i had a friend of mine who owns a bodyshop do it

 

no way in hell that is 20 mph....dumbass

 

That sux major dude, FL drivers are the worst I was almost hit like three times on my way back to my apt today, stupid drunk partyers.

 

That was a love tap... Just wait for that woman to say you were backing up and you hit her.... There goes your insurance rates....

 

You havin a bad day man....Whats it like being perfect?

 

Sucks, but at least it doesn't look too "major" and there is no engine damage. I'm sure it will look great after the body shop gets through with it.

Man, people need to pay attention when they drive! That's why year after year everyone's rates keep creeping up in insurance!

 

what crawled up your butt?



Sorry that you got rear ended. Glad to see that everything OK.


On another note.....are you the only other person on this board with gold emblem kit besides Shawn?

 

WTF? THis poor guy gets rear ended in his CL, and you want to be an ass? Go lurk elsewhere.

 

yeah, my bad. i didnt mean to be such an ass. i just have had problems with people lying to insurance companies...i dont want you to be lying about lost wages and a sore back from that little wreck..

 

First, that was way out of line... second of all... I never reported any speed to the insurance company. Also, I didnt receive any injuries.. before you jump to conclusions and think I will lie about a sore neck, why dont you think of how much of a dick you are.. and how you should leave this board.. we cuz we dont need people like you.

 

I try to leave extra space in front of me, just incase some nut behind me doesnt stop fast enough at least I have some more space to roll foward

 

Sorry, ladies, but God Damn It! It said it before and I'll say it again...a woman driving a SUV is an accident waiting to happen. Make sure you give them plenty of room. They don't seem to have the damn judgement when driving a truck. When I mention this to my wife, she just flips me the bird. But I am right. Glad you weren't hurt. It's just a machine and can be fixed.
