So I'm driving to work on the 405 yesterday morning and somebody cut me off and slammed on their brakes. I had no time to make a move. Then this....

Sucks...... Hope you had full coverage or they deemed it the other cars fault. That was a nice s14 even if it was a zenki.

For real find you another one and build it even better!

Won't happen.

I've never seen a rear-ender that wasn't deemed to be the following driver's fault, especially since you can't prove being cut off.

It sucks, and sometimes it doesn't seem fair, but it falls under "failure to control your vehicle".

Glad you're OK, man. Sorry to see your pride and joy all tore up like that.

I like that the 1st reaction is "Oh dude that sucks" and the 2nd is "Can I have this, this and this". Sorta like your friend saying "I have cancer", you reply with "Man, I am so sorry to hear that....Can I have your stereo?"

My only experience with LA traffic every time I have been down there is it was moving so freaking slow it seemed impossible to get in an accident going faster than 10 miles an hour.

Sorry to see such a clean Zenki S14 being cut off by a jerk. Sadly Greg is right and you'll probably be the one considered at fault here. Sorry bro. At least you're in good health.

havent heard from insurance yet.. but the from what I've been hearing its going to be totaled.. mainly due to the fact that the air bags went off. and apparently they cost a lot. that and it has 180,XXX miles. so yeah, its going to be totaled... sucks. and in order to get any money from insurance the car has to look like a car when they go look at it . So i cant take too much off. I got a good amount of items off it though. If i dont get another s14 the parts i got off will go for sale on here....

I got in an accident with my '93 Camry, guy made a left hand turn in front of me and thought I would stop for the yellow light. Lost the drivers headlight and a little part of the bumper, got somewhere around $2,500 which wasn't bad since I paid $5k for the car 5 years prior. And it was really freaking reliable, almost miss it, short of most Camry's being the most boring thing on the planet.

On to the point, I swapped my ADR's back to stock, ripped out the audio, thankfully I still had the stock deck. The insurance company won't test the audio system, so if you have aftermarket speakers, etc. They will knock points off your total if its missing stuff like door panels, carpet, etc, but a less scrupulous person (not us of course, just for the record I am NOT stating anyone on those forum would commit such an act) might be interested in selling their S14 seats to someone with S13 seats and installing the crummy ones prior to inspection.

They will often offer you the option of keeping the car and reduce the check you will get by about 20%, though KBB on yours is probably going to be around $4k give or take, but doubtful you will get anywhere near that by parting out whats left of it.
