So, as I'm driving along 84-W yesterday, crossing into New York from Connecticut, we are in stop and go holiday traffic. Well, I stopped, and the guy behind me didn't. HE HIT MY CAR!!! Yes, I am sad since I only had my car for 3 months. I didn't even name him yet, although I do call the Navigation system "Boyfriend" when he is directing me. Anyway... everyone involved is ok, we just have some stiffness in our necks & back, and may go to the doctor to make sure everything is ok. But my car isn't. He's still in NY but should be traveling by tow truck to MD in the next day or so. Wish me luck as I drive this Aveo for the next month or so.

Is it bad that the first thing I said after being hit is "MY CAR!!!!!"

Enjoy the pictures, and make sure you check out the dent in the hood of the truck that hit me.

 

Ouch! Sorry to see that happened to your ride. That's a beautiful color. I haven't seen one in that color around where I live. That sucks big time, but it can be fixed. You Can't.

 

ouch! dat really does suck..i woudl have been crying too...make sure repairs are done well and by a reputable shop. glad your ok though and gl with repairs and that aveo

and since u clal the navi "boyfriend" your a girl right? i hope..or else...:ghey:

 

Ohhh...not good! I am very sorry that happened to you. Figures that it was some piece of junk pickup truck that hit you...probably couldn't even tell if that thing was damaged in this accident or another.

I hope the damage is fixed quickly and you can get back to driving the car you love!

 

Yea i am starting to wonder who drives this TL? hmm........lol

 

sorry to see and hear about this mishap!

although it is crazy to see how the dealer installs the decklid type s spoiler.. full anatomy exposed

 

YES!! I am a girl! lol. 100% woman!

 

Girl+TL= Sexiest Girl in the world!!!!

 

^^^^


sorry to hear that though, 3 months and its already in the shop...SUCK!

glad you guys are alright though, thats all that really matters. make sure you post some pics once you get it back...

 

The damage done to your TL isnt as bad as mine. Mine was wrecked yesterday...a drunk driver decided to make a left turn right when i was coming into the intersection(with my light green) then BAM...I tboned him and damn near knocked the front right wheel off of the TL! I'm sad to announce that its totalled! (got pics in the photogallery)

I'm glad everyones ok. Dont worry about the car...its just a hunk of metal and plastic pieced together to keep the occupants inside as safe as possible........while still preserving its sexy! LOL

 

to the OP, It's good to hear that you are ok. Judging from the pictures, thats about 6+K in body damage, that area is designed to crumple to absorb the impact so the occupants are not hurt. The car did it's job. Also that is one serious dent in the car behind you. Also not to be rude, but please tell the dude in the photo to pull his pants up, or get a belt.

 

Cars can be replaced. People can't. Glad you weren't hurt.

 

Oh man, The KBP is so beautiful...Im sorry about what happened. Hope you have fun in teh Aveo

 

Sorry to see and hear of your car. But If I were you that asshole would be getting a notice to be going to court and I would take all he has even that junk truck he has then with him watching I would total his truck right in front of him and tell him no one is going to have to worry about his ass being on the road anymore.

 

Glad your okay..........I know it's tough to see your boyfriend slammed like that. Shoulder is available if needed. Good luck with the repairs.

 

I'm glad to hear that you and your daughter are ok. Your accident looked pretty bad in the pictures.

I see you are staying with Acura. Good luck with the 07 NBP Type S!!!!!

 

that car could be fixed? thats not totaled?

 

^^^No doubt! Ever since I got my first 96 TL, I was hooked on em! I doubt I'll ever get another car. Well...maybe an AMG SL 55 Benz when the money gets right! lol

 

glad you're okay! hope it's up and runnin' soon. but hey you get to rock an Aveo - woohoo!!

 

wow im sorry.. at least ur ok. i wouldve gotten out of my car and drop-kicked that idiot! hope ur ride is back on the road soon, in the meantime e-brake burnouts in the rental lol

 

that car can be fixed?

 

Definitely, that's not that bad of an impact in the grand scheme.

OP, glad you're ok! Someone said it before, things can be fixed or replaced, your life can't! Drive safe up there!

 

yes it will be fixed

to the OP.... dont worry.. when i first got rear-ended in my 06 TL that was TWO WEEKS OLD... i too screamed, MY CAR!! ive sicne learned, there are things more important than a car....

btw, KBP is awesome... its always some dumb person in an old pick up, or grandma in a 89 Lincoln that rear-ends people. people who dont care about the car, put other peoples lives and automobiles in danger... it pisses me off sometimes...


sorry csmeance... but i gotta disagree... i would say thats leaning more towards $9k+

my rear-ending was $6k, and it didnt look as bad as that

also, looks like your exhaust got smacked up maybe the $700 insurance gives for a new system, gets invested into an aftermarket one... ATLP or Excelerate are your best choices.

 

Glad you're ok, sorry about you driving in an aveo... Man i'm sure you've been contemplating walking everywhere now huh

 

Glad your OK...what dealership in MD are you taking it to?

 

agreeeeeeeeeeed 100%. a beautiful girl that i know that has recently caught my attention drives a WDP one. when i found that out, she was THAT much more beautiful.

it breaks my heart to see a KBP get hurt. that car is gorgeous. hope you are ok!

 

the C/K truck took the hit like a champ though, crazy...

 

you got to put some pics up when you get that car fixed because i dont see how they can fix that..

 

ohhh . and FYI, you probably could have driven it home.... but since insurance pays for the tow, f* it.. let them tow it

 

^ in most states (well provinces anyways) if the damage from an accident exceeds a certain amount, the car can't be driven until repaired.

 

lol my girl drives the new mugen si we bought it 2gthr n igot the type s deff will post some pics up

 

wow that sucks - sorry to see what happened

I84...ahh i know it well...my aunt lives in NH and I live in long island, and after taking the ferry to connecticut, I've done the 95,15,91,84,90,290,495,3 ....trip SOOOOOOOO many times, probably 10-15 times a year

sucks bro, good luck

 

Valium is your friend.

 

Only if it's a 6 speed.

 

A type S to boot. Oh well, time to get an 09 4G!!!! lol but its sad to be in a accident. But atleast you have a shot if your insured to get the 4G.

 

damn....sorry to see this...hope everthing works out...

good luck

 

I wouldn't mind getting rear-ended like that. I'd just make sure to get the A-spec kit and ATLP exhaust.

I got hit in the left front fender in my last car (Audi A4) and since the other person was 100% at fault, I got to rock a C-Class for two weeks and my car was completely fixed at some ridiculously expensive body ship. They even repaired damage that was already there before and I got a free detail and alignment.

Progressive Insurance FTMFW!!

 

Glad you're ok. I got hit behind too a little while ago, except it was just a tap, I got out and there wasn't even a scratch on my car or the car that hit me, even thought it made a pretty loud thud when it hit. You were really unlucky, but if you can get it repaired at no cost to you it won't be so bad.

 

Sorry to see the pics.....So many crashed TLs get the rest of us out here nervous...

That accident is literally like 4 miles from my house, crazy!

 

So.... the body shop is estimating $8,500 worth of damages. That's based off the visual inspection. I'm sure the cost will rise once they start actually taking things apart to fix it. They say the car should be ready by 7/31, but I just don't see that happening. If it is fixed by then, where will the meetups be in NY that weekend?

Oh yeah, I didn't tell ya'll, they wouldn't tow the car to Maryland to get fixed. They said it would cost too much to tow it ($1500 - $1700). So, the car is in NY to be fixed. I need someone in NY to go check on it for me! J/K.
