WTF did you hit?

Or wait!

The tire ripped off.

 

Man that sucks... I'm sure you will tell the story. Maybe this can give you an excuse to try something new and go for a whole new set up...

 

damnnnnnnnnnnnn Trew

wtf

 

what happeneddd???

 

OH NO! Damn, whatever happened hope everything is ok.

PEACE!

 

That sucks. Least it looks like the RJ kit was spared.

 

Ouch! Blowout?

 

ouch!

 

damnnnnn.. what happened?! sorry to see that..

 

Got side-swiped by a Caravan.

I was sitting in traffic in the middle lane waiting for the light to change. Next thing I hear was tires screeching on wet asphault coming from behind on the left lane. I look in my side mirror and see a Caravan desperately trying to stop on the wet road, and to avoid rear-ending the car in front of him, he tries cutting into the center lane (where I was, about 2 car lengths up). He ends up clipping the right rear bumper of the car, and continues to skid between the two lanes RIGHT TOWARD MY CAR!

I tried to inch up and over to the right as I saw him coming in my mirror. I managed to get my right side tires just over the lane lines on the right. All traffic was stopped, so I couldn't really move over that much. All I could do was HOPE he didn't hit me. Then, after what seemed like an eternity, it happened...

He clipped my left rear quarter, and knocked my side mirror outward. There is noticeable damage around the rear wheel well, and my wheel took a pretty bad hit as well. The rear door is scratched, the side mirror lost some paint and the RJ side skirt got a stress crack in the paint.

No one was hurt... and thank GOD he had insurance, or I would have beat him to a pulp in the middle of the road.

Estimate comes in at just under $1,800.00 to repair everything including refinishing the wheel and refinishing the undamaged door. The car is already at the shop and a claim adjuster is on the way. I hope there won't be an issue with the other guy's insurance company. I'll find out in a day or so.

Here are some more pics.

 

why the f*ck was he coming so fast? it hurts my eyes to look at that, hope everything gets fixed and comes out even BETTER. Glad to hear you're safe.

 

Ouch

I'm sorry to see that happen man. I hope it's a quick and properly done recovery

 

Tell me about it.

He finally came to a stop about a half car length past my car on the left. If I didn't have the sense to move over that would have been the end of my entire left side.

 

Damn man that sucks, doesnt look like alot of damage to the metal but more of jsut paint damage.

 

man.. that sucks.. glad to see youre okay and hope everything gets repaired quickly

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Buddy, I am SO sorry to see this-at least your RonJon kit wasn't damaged and you are alright.

Now you can roll your fenders and stagger your wheels!

 

hope you dont part out because of it..

thank god u ok tho man.

 

on the positive side, you have a clean TL.

 

wow man that freaken sucks! hope your alright

 

glad your ok Trew, that is the main thing. Sucks this happened to you.

 

sorry to see that...

 

Yeah you do have a nice whip...

 

srry to hear, atleast ur safe and not that much damage, good luck with everything

 

Glad your safe...

Sucks though...your girl got MOLESTED...uuugh!

 

this.

 

glad you are fine.

 

no worries trew, the car is sitting nicely in the shop. We got tons of compliments about the car bro!

 

That's always good to hear

I know it's in good hands... Thanks to you and your bro.

Take some progress pics if you get the chance.

 

damn! hope everything goes well with the whip.

 

WOW.... even after that side swip, your TL STILL looks better then mine... I'ma Failure

I better start working on my mods.

 

my sentiments as well, car looks good other than that though.
You didn't waste any time getting it in to be fixed, did ya

 

damn.. good evasive maneuvering.. it could have been a lot worse. Glad you're okay.

 

oooooo... that really hurts to look at!! I'm sure everything will be restored to better than new.. so don't sweat it. As long as no "human" body damage... all else is fixable.

 

Wowwwww that sucks dude! I hope you get it fixed soon!

 

Glad to hear you're OK. Your TL is one of the finest in the nation. I don't know what it is, but it seems like 3G TL's are on some type hit list here lately. Makes me think twice about pulling mine out of the garage.
Keep your head up Bro' she'll be back badder than ever I'm sure!

 

Insurance adjuster came out to look at the car yesterday. They looked at it and left, without saying anything. Shop owner called them afterward and they said they would get back to them...

They still have not confirmed liability and has yet to approve a rental for me.

 

^^^wtf? what insurance carrier do you have?

 

they're going to tell you, "it'll buff right out"

 

It's not my insurance. I'm dealing with the insurance of the guy that hit me. Ocean Harbor or some shit like that.

I put in 3 calls and left messages. Still awaiting a reply. Today I got a letter from them telling me that they are investigating the issue and have not admitted liability yet. They continued to say that I could have the car repaired under "my insurance" if I can't wait (LOL).

I'm going to wait until Monday until I decide what to do. Looks like I'll have to contact a lawyer.
