I wrecked my vert

Some guy decided to stop immediately as soon as the light turned yellow, instead of going through it like he could have, and this is what happend...I tried to swerve into the center lane where there was no traffic and my whole car didnt make it. Im just glad its not worse! The dudes bumper on the altima just fell off, and a bit of my paint rubbed on his bumper.

Sorry to see. Glad your alright. Looks like nothing too major. Strut tower move?

Post by **gp_says** » Mon May 19, 2008 4:54 pm

ouch!!! sorry to hear that, it should be EZ to fix??time for a front-end conversion??

good luck!

Post by **Loki** » Mon May 19, 2008 5:01 pm

That's just a Kouki front end next week right? RIGHT?? Don't follow so close, man I know for a fact that stock brakes are pretty darn good.

I thought this was going to be a happy story..

Post by **SlipnSliden 240** » Mon May 19, 2008 7:25 pm

Its, not as bad I as I thought. Once she tore it all down, I could see the real damage. The strut tower didnt move, dosent even "look" like the alignment shifted. We already got another front end, and Im 90% sure I have another KA rad. (To lazy to look through all my spare parts.) Gonna need a core support that I have access too. Im sure the fender structure gig and be shaped back no problem. I also got another bumper support.

(Whatever he said, lol.)

It was just a good excuse to get out of work, lol.

Good thing I just ordered some parts for it last week, and now its just going to make everything easier! Going 5spd and Turbo!!! Woot Woot! Atleast something good is coming out of it!

Post by **Loki** » Mon May 19, 2008 7:39 pm

You sure you can handle a turbo if you're still going around rear ending people?

ah ha ha ha ha ha...Smart ***!lol. Maybe it will make me a bit more cautious!

The bf said maybe nows the time for me just to go ahead and do everything i want to do (bodykit, conversion, sr, wheels, sus., and what-not) that way next time he can give me 2 black eyes. lol.

Glad you're okay. I almost did the same thing last year. A guy stops hard at a fresh yellow light becasue there was a traffic camera at the intersection. I just scratched the paint on the nose (thus the front-end bra) but no damage. Like everyone's said, time to redecorate!

Post by **biggie** » Tue May 20, 2008 4:30 am

Sorry to hear, but at least you are ok and its not that bad.

Glad to hear both ladies are OK!

Broken parts = upgraded parts

Post by **krash** » Tue May 20, 2008 7:06 am

^^ yep, its what I live by, "Anything that breaks is a chance to upgrade"

glad to see you are alright and the vert is recoverable

To drive in America you have to assume every single other driver is bat**** crazy, pissed off at you personally, and has no arms and only one leg.

This is why I never follow close, i'm sorry to hear about it though. Next time just be prepared to stop. Theres too many impatient people in this world. I've seen people run reds just to be sittin 45ft away at a different Red light. I would rather take my time then risk my car. Too much love for it!

Post by **babababutler** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:03 pm

sorry about your ride but i say time for front end conversion if your into that look

Post by **vertbish** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:50 pm

Well I talked to a good friend today that used to work for a insurace company and I have to put my car all back together and have someone come out and give me an estimate on how much it would be to have it repaired... so hopefully it doesnt exceed kbb that way they dont total it out and i can just take a check from them... anyone else have any experiences like this? cause id take whatever they want to give me even if it was 50 bucks. lol.

Post by **Loki** » Tue May 20, 2008 6:46 pm

My car got a little scuffed from someone backing into me and insurance quoted $1100. Best of luck to you. And if they do decide to total it out for whatever reason, throw NADA.com at them. KBB is for wusses.

Post by **vertbish** » Fri May 23, 2008 12:33 pm

The insurance guy came out today, I think they are going to total it out, but im not letting it go... He said they will call me sometime early next week and let me know what they decide.

Post by **white90esex** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:25 pm

ha... that sucks.

that coupe in ur sig is dope.

Post by **vertbish** » Wed May 28, 2008 1:26 pm

o.k. I just got off the phone with the insurance... They want to give me 3k for it and Im buying it back for 200. The bf is irrate and says I need to push for 5k... I argued with her on the phone for 30 min. Idk what else I can do to push for more $$. Any suggestions?

YouTube · Post by **DeXteR** » Wed May 28, 2008 1:37 pm

1 of 8000 cars ever produced.

NADA value

Heck, KBB is higher than 3k... wtf?

Can I have the top frame?

Post by **vertbish** » Wed May 28, 2008 2:03 pm

In your dreams! Im keeping it! Im too attatched!

They just sent me a fax that said

"If within 35 days of receipt of our payment, you have been unable to locate a comparable vehicle that can be purchased for the settlement amount, but you have located but not purchased a "comparable vehicle" that costs more than the settlement amount, you must notify us within this some 35 days"

Also I guess there is some "law" about the actual cash value...

WAC 284-30-3901

So is this going to give me any excuse get more verts around here go for 5-7k. lol.

Hmmm...

Well I hope it all works out in your favor.

send them a list of all the verts of the same color, same options, and same or less miles in perfect condition... take into consideration "shipping" charges if it's more than 100 miles away.

the insurance company will have a hard time arguing for less money, and if you do happen to find a good deal of a car matching what the insurance company is paying you... well, then, no loss.

Post by **S15nS13vert** » Thu May 29, 2008 12:41 pm

well, isurance company, are gonna give ya what ever the car is worth, and 3000 for a 94 is not bad, i know it is a convertible, but i work for a auto body shop, they always win, hold on....you can ask them for a month rental car $$$$$, let see 25 x 30 = 750, ask them for the money for the rental car, until you find another vert
