I've joined the wrecked Z club... [not as severe]

COD4

.....

well looks like nothing happened to the frame.. or the volks!!! just the tire got the hit... hence.. new bumper, fender & hood.. new headlight and windshield fluid tank.. and will be like new.... I hope everything comes out fine.

women drivers man. get them off the road. caused a similar accident to the one i had in my previous car, my car was so low that it literally scooped up the SUV.
it was on a highway merging lane going at 50mph. i was in the right lane bout to exit soon. this woman decides to inch into the right lane and completely stopped. i'm like WTFFFFF!?!?!?!? slammed on the brakes but didn't make it.

That really stinks Digi, this definitely the type of thread that makes me cringe since this could happen to anyone. I hope you have the best of luck with the ensuing insurance and repair issues.

ok man.. first of all you are doing almost 60 mph in a city rd?? and also wasnt there a no left turn sign. LolZ... besides the point uhmmm accelerating like that next to soo many cars its like looking for an accident to happen, what if someone decides to change lanes.. BADABING!!!!.. honestly the person in the first suv was wrong by not waiting for you to pass but he/she prolly got scared; seeing that you were coming that fast they didnt know what to do. Now the second one.. the guy is just an ***.. thats how I got hit in my left quater panel.

I got up to about 55 yes because I accelerated to get farther in front of and insure I didn't cut the person off who was in the lane to the left of me. Before that I was doing about 40 and at the bare minimum the speedlimit on that stret was 35. I accelerated quickly but was not driving fast until that person pulled out (and stopped)

As for the no left turn sign.. It would have been obvious if I let the video start a bit earlier. I was coming off a freeway offramp. The No left turn sigh is for the other two lanes (they actually have these little cone things that will probably screw up peoples tires now) as the problem is people in the other two lanes turning left *in front* of the people who go strait coming from the freeway on ramp which basically ends at the light. That no left turn was *not* for my lane which is why it was so far over to the right.

If you pause the video right at the start in the bottom right you can see the little cone thingies I am talking about which they added as too many people were ignoring that no left turn sign.

EDIT: I will admit I should have just slowed down and stopped and waited for the idiot who stopped in the damn lane to move. Also I very rarely have situations where I accel and move between traffic like that. I have been driving for over 10 years and I have yet to have any type of collision with another vehicle.

The only accident I ever got in was in a subaru which was caused by crap on the road in a mountain-like area which I hit while turning which made me go off the side. Luckily it was the base so the drop wasn't life threatening.

Glad you're ok! A car can be replaced and/or fixed. It's very nice that you were polite to the driver too... I can't say I'd be the same. I got out and cursed at the deer that hit me in my past 350z. It got so scared, it ran off haha. But seriously, glad you are ok. Keep us posted on the updates

ProfessorDave

Good quick reaction time. It's a shame that you always have to assume another driver is going to do something stupid. Hope the Z is fixed soon!

Ouch, man! Sorry to hear. Glad you're alright, though. Could have been worse I'm sure.

It'll be as good as new once it's repaired. Just use a good body shop that will go the extra distance and measure the frame. It looks like your front impact bar is bent and an impact to the tire can still damage suspension...get it evaluated. Otherwise it's just a headlight, fascia, and fender with miscellaneous interior parts. Did the airbags deploy? The sensor is in the middle of the front beam so I'm guessing they didn't...that saves about $6k in repairs.

Insurance companies give you two options: call the other guy's insurance and pursue the claim through them or get reimbursed by your insurance and then they go after the other guy. I've done it both ways and it ends the same. They WILL pay for your headlight and for the work Marco needs to do to make it the same as the one that was damaged.

I just want to know why she got cuffed...
