When I got it fixed we just claimed it on the insurance. It’s not collision so my monthly payment stays the same. I ended up paying the deductable which was $100
If I hadnt it would have ran about $275

Rep Power: 0 I havn't posted here much at all (I can't really afford to mod my civic, so it sits at a very very low level on the food chain) but I thought I'd share...
Bout the middle of march, I was driving on an unfamiliar road in broad daylight following a friend to her house, the road took a 90 degree turn, and I have to admit I was going to fast for the conditions (bout 50mph). The turn was sharp, but the shoulder was real wide, and there was a big tree that shaded the whole corner, the road hadn't been swept to get the sand from the snow in the winter off the road, and it all kind of built up in the shoulder from being driven on... and it was wet... took the turn to wide, to fast, and about 3/4 of the way through the turn, i broke loose and slid into the curb at about a 20 degree angle. Front passanger wheel took the innitial impact, and bore most of the force of hitting a curb at about 35-40 mph (02 Civic LX btw... no ABS...) the rim was literally bent in half over the curb, the tire took a little sidewall damage, but only cosmetic... the same tire was looked at by the dealer that installed it, and deemed to be safe (Amazingly enough). The hub was bent, the knuckle was ruined, the lower control arm was literally twisted, and the strut was broken loose and only held to the control arm by the friction caused by the spring. The CV axle boot tore completely off, but the axle and the tranny were ok. Oh, and the sway bar link broke. $1200 to fix the suspension, but she's never quite been the same since... weird vibration when i sit at idle, seems a little sluggish off the line, but that might be my immagination. The vibration seems to have smoothed out a little since then (or maybe i've gotten used to it) but when its cold and i start it up, its deffinately noticable. I don't really know where to go from here, but I'll keep updating if need be... (sorry for long post)

this happened to me december 13th of 2004, on the same street as the accident above. maybe a mile further down the road.
a dark blue car was in the middle of a two lane road with it's lights off. It was raining and it was night time...im sure you know how the rest of the story goes.
she pretty much looks like this now, but i have it dropped on Tein SS now and i just got RSX front leather like a week ago.

Rep Power: 376 this happened just yesterday...
someone wasnt paying attention and clipped me when i was making a left turn. we got out, he said he didnt have a license or insurance, i went back into my car to get a pen and paper to get his license plate number, next thing i know this f*ck gets back in his car and takes off.

some asshat tried to pass some guy on a blind corner at 4am and couldnt handle the turn.. so when me and the three people came aroung the corner there were 2 sets of headlights pointing at us... everyone locked them up.. i slid under some big pos pickup....
$6,300 already cleared from insurance... theres a good chance there will be more... i wish they would total it but since they wont im just gunna try to get as much as i can so i can offset the time im losing at work due to my busted hand (i crushed it against the steeringwheel)

Rep Power: 230 My accident wasn't in my 7th gen, but it led to the purchase of my 7th gen so I will tell it anyway 
I was driving sb on 75 heading tward St. Pete and some jack-rag in a red truck cut all 4 lanes into mine (he apparently didn't see me) I went off the road at 90+ mph and ended up sliding backwards down the interstate facing traffic. The ******* stopped about a ½ mile down, but took off as soon as he saw me get out of the car. I have pics so I'll post them later.

Rep Power: 0 A metal step from a semi flew up and hit the windsheild right above my ex-wife's head. we were cruising at 120 km/h. after it hit the windshield it bounced off the roof as well leaving a big gouge. never saw the truck it came from, paid out of pocket $1500 CDN.

Rep Power: 287 i finally got a parts list from the insurance company.. $6700.. goodgolly..
im a lil worried and annoyed though.. the front lip was not on the parts list...
when i towed my car i stuck the bumper in the trunk/backseat.. the lip was fine.. well.. beat to hell from the road but it was like that before the accident..
if they tossed my lip im gunna be really friggin pissed.. oh well.. shop opens at 8am... we will see...
they did however replace the grille.. which was also fine along with the hood trim.. true they were pretty beat from driving.. but still.. i just hope they put a coupe grille on insted of the sedan one... the sedan grille is just so damn ugly...
/rant.... for now anyway

Rep Power: 787 well you shouldve told em that. i made sure they put on painted trim pieces and get the right lip on there. they should still do it, but its prolly gonna mean repainting everything over again.
