Rip #206

Duc_Z09 · 07-01-2020, 08:07 PM

Well. Some ******* with an expired license in a Winnebago decided to cross all lanes on 15 because "he had the right of way because he was going straight" (his words). Fucker is lucky I had enough time to aim for the front corner of the frame instead of his driver's door or he might not be here right now. At any rate his insurance company isn't gonna like this.

Dude that sucks! I'm sorry.

Ventruck · 07-01-2020, 08:32 PM

Sucks hard.

Hope you're alright though.

Duc_Z09 · 07-01-2020, 08:39 PM

I have no injuries except a sprained finger.

Rusty · 07-01-2020, 08:39 PM

That's chitty.

Expired license, Go after him. Because his insurance might not pay.

My insurance agent is my buddy's wife. This guy is toast.

Sorry to see that. Glad you're ok!

God-Speed · 07-02-2020, 04:24 AM

Sorry about the car but glad to hear that you are OK!!

Duc_Z09 · 07-08-2020, 07:59 PM

I should probably add that I'm considering an S3 as a replacement. With mods and a tune of course.

And also that the ******* neglected to inform his insurance company of the incident. That's OK, I did him that courtesy today.

buy it back from insurance and rebuild it, the damage is moderate at most.

Dunno man, multiple airbags popped and the front wheel is split. Coolant all over the road. It's totaled for sure but I'm not convinced it will be worth a rebuild. Maybe a part out if the buyback isn't outrageous.

Duc_Z09 · 07-10-2020, 10:25 AM

Shop says over $18k for repairs. Pretty much spot on what another one would cost from a dealer right now. I'll ask about buyback and might have parts for sale in a bit. Or maybe not depending on what it would cost me and if I want to bother. I sure as sh*t don't want it back.

I drove a 19 STI today. It was ok. Interior sucks.
