Once again someone hit me. She got ticketed for failure to yield.
Was heading straight down the road, and next thing I know a car is coming right at me from the left. Turns out she came directly into traffic, instead of yielding into the median, which my car was traversing. I attempted to dodge her, but deflected off her front passenger side into the curb which then launched my car 3 feet in the air, according to witnesses, and landing in the bike lane. I got the lasting image of myself grasping the steering wheel and looking at the sky as my last image before it slammed to the ground. Neck, back hurts. Not sure of condition of car, but pictures do not show all the damage.  I don't know what to do now. I just got my 3s, and I know they'll try to salvage it again. Will have to inspect the damage later on. Bad time for a wreck, on holiday weekends, no answers til the 3rd. I've invested so much in her, and had so many plans...but people won't stop hitting me. Its scaring me out of further investments due to the value of the car. BTW, it was a brand new 2012 volks passat that hit me. Those new ones are huge, and hit like a tank...barely any damage to her car.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jan 6, 2012 - 8:24 AM)  yup. time for a new shell, is it me or here the strut tower looks crooked... Yea I was thinking the same thing. Its pretty bad. The arm that holds the hub in place is severly bent, which makes me worry about the mounting points for such arm being bent as well. Can't really tell at the moment, but if something is to bend that much, it has to bend elsewhere to allow for such. The the steering arm or whatever it is called is bent all the hell. Can't see it well, but there is a small hole in the strut tower where the strut jammed itself into it. I had them tow it to the house, figuring I'd just replace the hub and be on my way, but its looking like they are going to have to come pick it back up and take it to the yard. Don't think there is enough reusable parts on there to part out....might try to steal the seat covers off before they tow it =) Ugh looks like I'll be out of the game for some time..dammit. |
