Damn, that sucks. Hope they had insurance.

Sorry. I hope you're ok.

Photobucket dosent seem to want to load my pictures but it just happen a few hours ago. My door and fender got it bad, fender went over the hood a bit but the hood opens and closes fine as well as the door. He kinda hit the wheel, the wheel was campered in as if the car was lowered and hitting the upper control arm then when the tow truck started to pull it on the flat bed the front wheel just let loose and the top fell out and so I think the upper ball joint is done will find out more tomorrow morning.

let me know if u need those parts. I have every part that you will need to replace.

^ insurence should cover it all good thing I didn't put my suspension on yet or I would have been pissed. I have adjustable upper control arms and lower tie rods brand new in the box as well as ksport coilovers. I have been wanting to paint the front bumper b.c of the licence place bracket marks and highway marks so if im lucky I will get a new paint job on 75 percent of my car.

^ but then again what color are the parts door and fender. Maybe if I get them cheap enough I can have more of the car painted.

daym i feel your pain, as long as you coo its all good in tha hood

the door is blue and the fender is silver.

Shit
Could have been worse though. Glad to hear your ok

Car is getting fixed here are some pics

Dam, snaped the knuckle.
How did the upper arm, body mount look? did it stay str8 ?
surprised the ball joint did not snap before the knuckle

These are all the pictures the shop sent me I should get more sometime this week they said the car should be done by next thursday

Do I see a crack in the oil filter mount?

no crack there.

glad youre ok. please report your experience with geico. i just switched and wanna see how they do.

i actually saved EXACTLY 15% :rofl:

So far they seem nice about it, I wasn't able to drive for a while so the insurance was in my dads name when this happen b.c I was unable to drive, anyway when the cops showed they asked who I wanted to tow my car I told them this place called A&R because I know the owner and they do good work but when the A&R truck got there it towed the other car and I was stuck with this other company called Pats (if you are local don't ever use pats). So now my dad called the insurance company and they said I should use this other place called Balmville collision ( I know of them to they do great work but cost the most) because they do express service with Geico and will get it done the quickest and if you don't like the work you don't pay the deductible until they fix it. ( Geico has these express services all over they are the ones who sent the pictures of the damage)

So here is why I like Geico so far, The place that towed my car pats took it saturday late night I went to check on my car the next day and saw pats for the first time I had the nicest car there and it just didnt't look like a place I would let fix my car, my car was parked right off a main rd with my windows left down when they towed it I put my windows up all the way, So early monday morning the tow truck was set to move my car from pats to balmville but pats had to write up a bill for Geico for the night of the tow all day Geico tried to get my car out for me and all day pats wouldn't answer the phone finally they wrote a bill and said Geico could get my car tuesday morning ( Geico will Tow your car 2x free of charge ) So my car sat in pats yard sat till tues trying to get it out of there Geico so far paid a 950 tow bill for tow and storage and paid balmville wed to to fix my car already and ordered all parts needed All in one day this is my experience so far I like them.

Geico paid two tow bills so far, They paid for my tow to Pats and My tow from pats to Balmville.

Damn man. I hate towing companies. Ive had bad experiences with them.

And Gieco FTMFW. I used to have Esurance and I was paying $1400 every 6 months. Switched to Gieco and Im paying alittle over $900 every 6. :woot:

^ get AAA I have AAA and after the first year it cost nothing and now I can have my car towed up to like 100 away. I used it twice in the 3 years I had it and it and already it paid for itself. My old car an integra gsr the ignition coil went and left me on the the side of the road I had a tow truck in 30 tow my car to my house and it didn't cost me a dime. Another time my brother had his car towed like 80 to a shop to have work done to it again it was free.

AAA charges after 50 miles unless you are a long term member and have the upgraded service.

When I signed up for my AMA (American Motorcyclists Association) membership a few years ago they were running a deal where you get free roadside assistance. Its got unlimited mileage and Ive used it twice already.

Back when I have AAA I ended up paying $70 for a tow. With the AMA roadside, Ive yet to pay.

i am an adjuster for Geico. R&I means remove and reinstall.

You might might to check those suspension parts, they are aftermarket. my best advice is to speak to the shop and ask them how much to oem suspension parts in. dont bother calling the adjuster, he wont change it. Geico's policy is if there is an aftermarket part for something on the estimate you have to use it.

if you need more info just pm me

The car us getting coilover as soon as I get my it back so I don't care about the a/m parts good looking out though
