didn't have anything to buy this year but went to target just for fun. it was full full full of people ramming each other.

i want new car already because of this

MattB07TL

hit a dear at 45mph this morning smashed the front end of the TL in

bluecarbonfiber

saw a blue one yesterday morning heading to wilsonville.. the tail lights remind me of a bmw

car totalled?? that really sucks.. did you keep the meat? =)

MattB07TL

I dunno I have to get it towed in tomorrow . he flew a couple hundred feet and got up and ran away. I would imagine he ended up dieing. Ill upload some pics so you can see the damage

MattB07TL

Little clearer pics now that its light

bluecarbonfiber

damn.. that bumper took it like a champ for the most part but the hood and grill are F'd i am guessing around 2800 total cost damage.. no total loss.. unless frame damage and engine damage.. but if frame is good my guess on total cost stands 2800.. let me know how close i am on guessing =)

The Russian

thatll buff right out, have you tried mothers wax yet?

The Russian

Joking. Hope you are okay, and a car is just a car! Don't stress!

PS. If anyone is interested in my wheels, im considering selling them. Let me know.

Mr Marco

Bummer. Sorry for your loss. Time to shop for a new ride.

damn that sucks.. usually hitting a dear ends up totalling a car, but luckily yours doesn't look that bad unless frame is damaged.


saw two white and one black so far. rearend remind me more of hyundai genesis sedan.

Mr Marco

Never left the house. Already did my shopping early on eBay. Got some good deals a couple months ago. Just need to buy one birthday gift for a buddy who's girlfriend invited me to his party. What do you get the guy who has everything???

MattB07TL

She just got towed off to the shop will see what they estimate. bumper,hood,grill, driver side front panel,a chunk got ripped off the drivers side headlight.and the radiator was pouring out fluid so obviously that too.. I'm going to be curious how this will work especially with my headlights because I have a lot of money in mods into them and they will just give me an oem one. and what will happen with the front aspec lip if they will give me a new one or take mine off and remount it to the new bumper . Ill have to bring that up and see what they say.

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

looks like front lip can be reused. just a new bumper. also tell body shop to order TypeS headlights rather than the base version.

Mr Marco

Unless you have Hagerty, the INS Co could care less what you did to the car. They will just fix to look good or cut you a check for KBB if it is a total loss.

It's funny how that works. You give them your $$$ every month and then when you hit something they don't really give you what is fair (because they only have to make you 'whole') then they say, "you hit something, so we are raising your rates," and then they bump your payment/rate up by 20% after the accident. I never understood that buisiness model. Isn't the money you already paid them intended to cover the cost of the accident should it be your fault? If only 6% of their insurured have an accident, then where has all the money gone to???

-And- You're fucked both ways. Because if the car is paid off and you choose to only carry liability INS and set aside the money you would have spent on INS into a special "just in case I have accident savings account" for car repairs, THEY STILL RAISE YOUR RATES for the liabilty INS.

Giant rip-off as far as I'm concerned.

Mr Marco

Too bad that you couldn't take the bumper off and sell it either. ^that tear is not fixable.

had my optima for 5 yrs+ now and starting to show fatigue.. ordered up a new one.. ugh batteries sure got spendy

mucter

I'm running this in my car: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...er=350081_0_0_

Has better CCA than an optima, tons of people are running them on 8ths with good results. And it's damned cheap... lol. It's made by Deka and re-branded re-sold by a variety of companies for more money.

Mr Marco

I got lucky. The guys at ETS killed my battery in the RDX and replaced it for free, and then the dealer replaced the TL battery under warranty. I bought rechargables for everything else, so I'm covered. Unless of course, the Mayans were right and time as we know it stops on December 21st. Then who cares.

Should we party like rock stars on December 20th?

Good thing I was able to swap Optima in the Hyundai Accent to TSX when I put it up for sale.


Should hit Vegas with bunch of hookers for the good bye party

bluecarbonfiber

specs on the battery you posted shows CCA is 325.. the optima D34 is 750CCA i think the stock tsx battery is 410CCA or something along there.. only thing nice is its half the weight but i like the extra current and plan to run a decent stereo at some point


damn if that happens i wont have enough time to finish my carbonfiber stuff what a waste of time i did just recently clean my guns so i am ready for any looters or zombies.. if you can hold your own and can make it to my place i might beable to help you out. i plan to head for the hills though if something happens.. rocky mountains sound nice haha

Mr Marco

I think I'll party this week, just in case the Mayans were wrong and the end comes early.

hey wait for me once it outbreaks. but have a feeling you won't last long with all those UP kids

mucter

My bad, for some reason when you wrote optima I read odyssey. I figured you were talking about the light weight batteries.

bluecarbonfiber

if it was a zombie infestation i will use the sword or machette on them.. looters get the gun.. they say if anything its astroid, planet shift (which would change sea levels) or self destruction.. meaning grids get wiped out or along those lines and people panic then start taking out other people for supplies


ya.. i thought for a sec a braile battery but there CCA is super low.. i wish they made a small battery with a huge punch but i dont think its out there..

Mr Marco

Allen and I are headed to the Ozarks.

bluecarbonfiber

dont they have tornados in that state?

Mr Marco

Not an issue when you are underground.

google play store is jammed again with option to pre purchase the Nexus 4 starting today.
with spamming trick, got my order processed less than 30 sec. people who doesn't know this trick is sitting in front of computer for hours to get the order in. online chaos.

bluecarbonfiber

that sucks... got my razr maxx over the weekend and love it!! i do my normal usage and by bed time i still have half a battery life.. before my phone would be on its last 15% and ready to die..

picked up a d34 optima last night.. didnt realize but i have a d34/78 currently.. so ill save a pound in weight.. haha

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

just can't believe google can't handle the high sales demand and get their own ecommerce store to get jammed causing many problems.

didn't know until late last night that, Nexus 4 was in stock again yesterday at 12pm but got sold out in a minute or two. after that google started taking pre oreders and even that stage got jammed and couldn't place a order without the spamming trick. got my order for two Neuxs 4 with 2~3 weeks delivery date. hope that i get them before christmas.

is that yellow top optima?

Mr Marco

Rub it in...
Big electronic buying season, sign of our revamped economy. Have two or three items on the wish list myself but two new tires and a 4 wheel alignment have taken away my Christmas budget.


EDiT: Anyone elses pets acting odd today? Cat was cowering under the bed this morning and I couldn't even get her out with her special treats. Then Carrie said the big one is coming and I got freaked out because I'm in the basement most of the day today. MoFo Mayans.

bluecarbonfiber

Usually animals sense natural disaster before humans. That means its coming??!!
Hope I get my Nexus 4 before the 21st

bluecarbonfiber

haha gotta get the phone and enjoy it before the end of the world.. unfortunetly for me i wont get my wish of driving a veyron before the end of the world.. but if i survive and i come across one you know damn well ill steal it haha

Mr Marco
