Once again, some idiot crashes into my car..

[Two Fowty]

I was chillin at my friends house, playin some xbox. He hears something, looks outside, and sees my car sliding up into someones yard. We run outside, and this pos white car is creepin away, the driver and passenger looking around all sketchy. The just keep driving and pull into a driveway 2 blocks away. We facepalm, and then walk down there. They're like "oh, we had to get home and feed our kids, but we called the cops" . Complete bulls***. Anyways, they didnt have a licence, but they did have insurance.

I havent gotten any more information on it. I'll call the cops tomorrow and get the report.

I only got 2 pics from my phone, but here you go.

it got pushed up into that steep curb, not sure if it ruined anything up front, besides cracking my bumper.



Bumper is scraped up and bent, light is cracked, quarterpanel is like bent outwards in a v. The picture isnt the best.

The 2 circular dents were already there, and that black patch is where rust was. I fixed it and primered it black, but it cracked all the way thru it, so I hope insurance fixes it.

You think they'll fix it? Will I end up having a salvage title on this?

[Seanzyyy]

hmm..prolly shoulda called the cops when it happened..

it's best if when the cops are called to leave your car as is after an accident.once you leave the scene its kinda tricky, or so i've heard..

i dont think you'll obtain a salvage title for it, salvage titles are generally reserved for cars considered to be a total loss for the insurance company. pretty sure the cost of repairs won't outweigh the value of the car so you should be ok with keeping a clean title homie

but yea, next time, call the po-po right away, that way ish can be settled pronto

Hell yes... those ppl would have been in deep chit for fleeing the scene of the accident without making some attempt to leave contact info.

I dunno... Insurance seems to find the highest bidders for repair costs and base their judgement off of that and the fair market value of 240's in your general area. If there's a lot of drift-tax going on in your area, this could really work out in your favor.

But I'd say odds are good that you'll end up with a salvage title and some cash. Hey, it's not the worst that could happen...

yea, good point.meh, salvage title isn't as bad as it may seem.worst part about it is resale value imo.all you gotta deal with his some cracks and dents and getting insurance money..fuggit!

[simmode1]

Yeah, it seems like a salvage title is only bad if you plan on selling the car someday. I don't ever plan on selling mine. Hell, I'll probablt increase my coverage so that I can file a claim for hail damage the next time it storms.

I've seen so many 240's totaled out for a little hail damage, its crazy. I think that would be best case scenario for me. I'd take the money and invest in some coilovers and new wheels.

[Two Fowty]

I called the cops as I was running out the door, haha. I called it in as a hit and run. And I do plan on selling it within the next year, so yeah :\ I'm worried this'll screw over my plans.

doubt I'll get enough for that though.. let's hope

Aw man, big suck! Hmm, weird though ... in Florida you have to show your driver's license in order to get insurance. They must have not renewed or something. And it is not always best to keep the car where it is after an accident. If it's a minor fender bender and the vehicles are mobile, most laws tell you to move the vehicles off to the side of the road so as not to block oncoming traffic. Witnesses, skid marks and visible damage will tell the story. In your case though, it looks like everything was cool. Sorry for your luck man.

[Two Fowty]

It's bent out so far though. I mean my wheels look horrible with the car anyways, but now the quarterpanel is so far out, looks like balls. I'd like to fix it just so it doesn't look like s***. Any ideas on how I'd do that?

Cause any money I get from this I plan on getting the car running properly, as much as I'd love new wheels and some coilovers :\

Nah, from the looks of it where it was hit in the rear, it pushed the bumper into the unibody frame causing the quarter panel to buckle out. Look at how the line warped where the quarter lines up to the hatch. You'll probably need to pull the panel and pound the unibody structure a bit to line it back up for a new panel.

I've been hit twice with my car just parked outside of my appartment within the past 3 months. it sucks. I brought it to the dealership the first time and they told me that insurance would total it. At that point i didn't want it totaled so i didn't claim it. The second time was a hit and run and the cops couldn't do anything so i got fuked. (my damage from the first one wasn't even as bad as yours btw.)

[Two Fowty]

you really think they'd total it out? god dammit. that's twice now, same with my old 240. That's the whole reason I bought this one, put my old engine in this one. This is getting old.

aren't qp's welded on? :\ overfender time haha. but then my wheels will look like hugggeee s***. think spacers could fix that?

[Ilvemynissan]

Yah the qp is welded on, but if you have the time/tools/money to do it it's not too hard. You'll have to drill out all the spot welds and weld another one on, im going to replace my pass. side cause I got hit by a jeep, mines much worse than yours IMO but i love that damn car so i gotta fix her.

I kinda lucked out though, I found a guy with a qp already drilled out for $80! From the factory I think they're around 4-5 hundred though.
