What do you get when you cross a Ford Explorer and an A/C?

[JDRosenberg07]

you get this:

Theres more damage and ill post those pics later.

I was driving thru an intersection yesterday in the left lane of a 4 lane road (2 lanes each way) and this white explorer makes a right turn and instead of staying in the right lane like shes supposed to, she decides shes gonna merge into me instead. She never looked to see if i was there or even signaled her turn and on top of that.. she was on her cell phone. I blared my horn for about 5 secs and slammed on my brakes but it was pretty much pointless, she had already hit me.

When we pulled over she got out and was like "what happend? what did you do?" like it was my fault She barely spoke english, I called the cops and she was faulted for the accident.

The damage is at least $1,000-$1,500 and my passenger door clicks like 3 times when you open and close it cause the fender is messed up.

Good news is no one was there were no injuries and it could have been a lot worse, but thank for letting me vent.

I thought you were gonna say something like that dodge crossover/hatchback thing!

me too! Sorry to hear that you go into an accident. That always sucks and I swear when you hear that god awful sound it hurts you deep inside..

[FredX]

NO WAY... an explorer hit me today too...except in da butt

back bumper is trashed, front grille and license plate frame is garbage too (from hitting another car)

No this is what you get when you cross a Ford Explorer and an A/C

<br/>

Sorry about your coupe man, just thought i would do a quick photoshop try to cheer you up, glad to see that no one is hurt.

[Ferguson]

Lotta coupes gettin hit lately! Glad you're okay and the car isn't too bad. She could have taken out your wheel too!

Every time I put another dollar into my car I get more nervous about some dumbass creaming it. I do a lot of this after every uneventful trip to work and back.

[Ferguson]

You sure that isn't the new Nissan Altiplora??

Haha that actually did cheer me up a little...lol

Well she did scratch my rim a little bit, not bad but its enough to erg me. and she messed up my alignment a bit too.

[LongBeachCoupe]

ED fenders in the future???

[JDRosenberg07]

the ED fenders are nice but i dont know how well they would go with the Stillen body kit...

Photoshop anyone? lol

[Pawn]

Well that sucks. Glad you're alright, though.

It does seem like a lot of people have been getting in accidents lately (at least from the posts on this forum) -- the funny thing is that it has been other peoples' fault for the most part, from what I have read (and what posters will admit). Hopefully that means the average coupe driver is an above average driver!

Hopefully everything works out and you get more $ from insurance than the damage will take to fix!

[sc_coupe]

believe me...i feel every little bit of your pain. at least you coupe isn't sitting in a nissan collsion center. hope everything with insurance goes well, and im glad that your safe.

Then make sure her insurance makes it right. Don't live with anything that isn't perfect. As the innocent party, you don't have to. They can pay for a new rim. And make sure the alignment issue is just a bent part and not because she 'relocated' a chassis mounting point!

Oh yeah im not gonna take anything laying down...lol

We'll see i guess. Last time i was in an accident i was able to get parts for about 10% over cost which really helped with my deductable so im hoping i can do that again cause im already pretty tight on money.

believe me...i feel every little bit of your pain. at least you coupe isn't sitting in a nissan collsion center. hope everything with insurance goes well, and im glad that your safe.

Well im gonna have to take it somewhere but im gonna make her insurance pay for a rental for me...lol working full time AND goin to school full time i cant afford to be without a car

haha thats what i was expecting to see when i first opened this up. sorry though about your car. atleast the cops said it was her fault. my first car a lancer oz rally got totaled by a girl on her cell in a volvo who ran a red light and crashed into the drivers side of my car 3 weeks after i got it and since it was pure RICE (neon lights too haha bought it like that) the cops wrote down that it was somehow not her fault and somehow made it seem that i hit her instead of her hitting me even though the damage clearly shows that she hit me

[Rob.Vegan]

a riced out lancer

JD that sucks i'm really sorry. You should tell them that she twisted your exhaust and it fell off, then you can ship it over to me and get a new one



just kidding man, Alright now we are on lookouts for Explorers, Prius', and garage partners... They are out to get us man

[lilojoj]

a riced out lancer

haha w/ greddy exhaust and k&n intake and 2 10" in the trunk lol

...also watch out for old ladies in white cars

[LinkNuc]

That drives me nuts, stay in you f'n lane when yo turn..I see it everyday..and cell phones, don;t get me started it should be a minimum 1000 dollar fine talking on the phone while driving, i can;t wait for PA to reinstate this law and enforce it....I'm ok with blutooth, its the same distraction as talking to a passenger but ugh...I actually threw my friends phone out the window as he answered it while driving...

[JDRosenberg07]

Okay so i just got off the phone with her insurance company and they are having an appraiser call me either later today or on Monday.

The thing that pisses me off is that they didnt even report the damn thing! i had to call her insurance and report it... Thats jacked up!

[toxik]

damn so many accident threads recently, we may need a subforum just for accident pics.

[Sith LL_Coupe]

I bet her car wasn't even damaged. That's prolly why she didn't report it to her insurance. Those friggin SUVs are take a beating good. I was in my friend's car when an SUV rear-ended us on the highway. He didn't see the traffic slowing till it was too late (he was also on his cell phone!). Totally destroyed his trunk and bent the frame (thus totaling the car), the SUV had a cracked grill and his steel bumper had a little dent, that was it.

I swear, I think cell phones cause as much accidents as drunk drivers these days. Thankfully they usually don't end in death like drunk driving does, only fender benders or the like....

[JDRosenberg07]

Yeah i didnt get a chance to see the damage on her car but my girlfriend say it and said it wasnt bad which in itself pissed me off. Im sure another reason as to why it wasnt reported was because.... IT WASNT EVEN HER FLIPPIN CAR! Her last name didnt match the owner and she didnt even have the same address as the owner.

[nismogxs21]

damn bro im sorry bout your whip...

where did it happen cause i live in ocoee right next door to you...

i thought you were going to post more pics????

I hope you dont get screwed with the insurance

[Jose3.5]

That explortima would never work, you got it on backwards. Explorer is RWD and the Altima is FWD, reverse them for AWD lol

[maxentropy]

the ED fenders are nice but i dont know how well they would go with the Stillen body kit...

Photoshop anyone? lol

I always wanted to see what the stillen front fascia and sideskirts would look like coupled with an ED rear too....

[JDRosenberg07]

]It happened over on Millenia Blvd by the mall.

I took some pics with my camera already, ive just been soo busy with school and work to upload them and post them.

When i reported it the guy said the appraiser would call me Friday (which he didnt) or on monday so we'll see what happens. Im gonna call back if i dont hear from him on monday.

I was talkin about the ED front fenders with the Stillen kit but id like to see the ED rear as well...lol

Anyone? lol

[JDRosenberg07]

Okay so i finally got a phone call from the insurance guy today.. almost a week late but whatever....

I think i forgot to say that it was appraised about $855 for the repair.

They are writing me a check for almost a grand to cover everything including a rental.

[Nlghtmare]

NO WAY... an explorer hit me today too...except in da butt

back bumper is trashed, front grille and license plate frame is garbage too (from hitting another car)

honda pilot railed me. everyone was ok. got a sweet new bumper and tail lights. I think if people are too incompetent to drive and damage your property, the hell with it, make em pay!! oh yea.. cops said it wasn't my fault either.

I was stopped at an intersection for 10 seconds making a left turn. BAM! Ms. Pilot decided she doesn't like breaking anymore.

$4,995.95 in damages. the needed to replace the trunk that became an "accordion."

just wondering.. did the lady that hit you pretend not to speak English then speak pretty good English after the cops came? =] I think that's REALLY dishonest.

[ohiostate]

That sucks bro..

Atleast you called the cops and got it on file and it his her fault.
