If you damaged your car Post here!!!

PapoZalsa · 08-21-2011, 02:42 PM

Knock on wood no accident/incident with my 350 or 370.

Things to keep in mind: Stay off the phone, be aware of your surrounding, know your limits, know the limits of the car, watch your speed and know your blind spots.

Last but not least without offending anyone, DON'T drive like an A-Hole!

Uh oh... another "don't VDC off or you could dead" story.

In all seriousness though OP, glad you are alright and only the car was damaged. At that low speed it could have been some loose dirt/gravel/oil on the road + cold tires like others have said. Always be mindful of road surfaces. You should never take driving for granted (yea we are all guilty and do it on a daily basis).

You might be right probably was something on the road i didnt see cuz the first thing popped in to my mind was "Wtf? why is it going like that? It shouldn't be doing this."

Hello everyone this is my first time posting things on the site but i'm an avid reader and stalker of this site... so to my story on 7/31/2011 i was coming from a freinds house i got off the I-805 on university exit, it was a green light i yielded to the opossing cars, except i could not see the car behind the big black tahoe so after the car passed i took the left but i got hit from a civic left front damage which resulted in 14k in damage the car is still in the shop and will be back in my driveway on the 29th, so this accident was my fault because i shoudl have yielded longer but there was no way i would have seen the civic the person i hit said there was nothing I could do so from now on to prevent this from happening is I am very cautious when making turns on green or when i come to a hidden or hards to see intersection...

Jeeez, how about some punctuation! It sounds like an interesting story and thanks for posting, but it's practically illegible.

I totaled my car, except I was in the civics position -- approaching a green light, where someone had a left on green yield, and they didn't see me coming around the bend. I slammed on my brakes but still hit them. My vehicle was totaled, and the insurance company ended up declaring them at fault, which they obviously were. Moral of the story, don't turn blindly at a yield on green light if you can't see everything coming your way.

I actually backed up into my wife's Xterra in the driveway. Backing out at an angle and judged the distance wrong. It make a dent really small which wasn't even that noticeable.

+1 Cold tires make a difference. I'm sure your not the first to experience this problem so don't feel bad.

Am not its just all the guys at work will rip on me for the next year for crashing at 15mph

b1adesofcha0s · 08-22-2011, 01:45 PM

I have 2 incidents. First, I scraped the bottom of my front bumper when I went off the road a bit pushing it too hard on a turn. I think the tires got a little wet from driving through some puddles and the back end started to slide out. Managed to straighten it out but ran out of road and had 2 wheels go off the road and into some mud.

2nd time was when I rear ended some lady when she slammed on the brakes in her pickup truck for no apparent reason.

Wonder how long it will take red__zed to reply to this post. Your being timed now Dan!

So are we blaming VDC off or your mismatched summer front tires + all season rear tire setup??

All of the above + the tires were wet. No shortage of excuses here
