I was on the feeder of 290 making a right onto Bingle. I was yielding to traffic when... WHAM... from the backside.

My butt before...

I wish my car would get rear ended. I have been putting off for a year to buy a new bumper and would like someone to buy one for me. The lack of damage to the truck is amazing.

I think thoes are the best pictures of a crash that I have seen, its almost like a photoshoot... you can see the beauty in the photos, even though the subject matter is distrubing. Looks like 3-4k in damage. mine was 3300 when that happened, but my trunk lid wasnt that messed up. is your floor pan toast, or did it excape the wreck?

thanks guys... my head still hurts a bit, i'mma get it checked out just in case... i forhead hit the a-pillar cuz i was leaning forward to watch for the cars coming. Anyone know where I can get a hybrid trunk/JDM tails for cheap? maybe even a rear bumper... cheap cheap cheap!!! of course everything's going to be appraised at OEM honda prices. =)

aww my twin civic was smashed... from the looks of it though it looks like those parts could easily be replaced: bumper, trunk, etc. hope you're alright and everything turns out well. btw claim injury so you can milk all the insurance money

I agree with Triz. Best pics of a crash I have seen. What kind of camera are you using? I'm in the market for one this week.

whoa! nice photo shop aboe me. but anyway, hope you get all kinds of insurance money. i just got rear ended too. feel your pain. i get my check soon though!

dxr

dang, that does look pretty nice... although if i did get a CF trunk i'd need the hood too... I'd rather not put too much $$ back into the car... i need money in the bank.. shorty watchu thank. But we'll see how much i get cuz we'll be getting a lot in medical bills.

How long did it take u to go through the whole process? last time, it was 4-5 months for me!

*edit* what's TDM?

XeRoX.

Same thing happened to us (Me and my fiance)
Rear ended in her 96 Cavelier
He was doin 45 at least, completely destroyed her car
Broke ONE!! fog light on his truck. . . THATS IT!!!
It was a company truck so they bought us her car she has now 2000 Ford Focus!!
She was put on meds for a couple weeks and had to wear a brace, I took a week off work and got payed for it!!
Lesson learned: GO AROUND THE DOG, DON'T STOP AND WAIT FOR IT TO CROSS!!!!


PS. . . J/K I'll always stop for animals

i woulda slapped the car into reverse and cause more damage. More damage= more insurance money

Dude....sorry for your civic man, but glad to hear that you are doing okay (for the most part)

Some pointers though:
- Make sure that Geico will be only using new OEM parts. State Farm tried to replace mine with used, but new condition.
- Document all medical bills, estimates, and anything that comes out of your pockets because of this. (Rental car, loss of utility, etc)
- Make sure you get 'loss of value' for the accident. Because the car has been in an accident, you can ask the insurance company to provide you with the loss of value (could be $2500-3000 cash).
- Make sure your car is in the exact condition it was before hand....don't settle for a scuffed interior piece because it will save them $30 to re-use the old one.

Oh yeah, that'll buff right out

sorry about the accident man.... make sure you claim small tissue damage because they will pay you for it. the good thing about it is that you don't need to prove it
