I totalled my Vic!!!! *Pic added* ***** PIC IS ON PAGE 2 *********** Yesterday i left from work and headed home.... next thing i know i woke up in the hospital... totally confused and felt like i had a hangover. After my folks got there and my National Guard commander arrived... i found out that i was in a wreck! From what i have been told my car slide on the wet road and i lost control and a Ford F-150 slammed into me. After it happened i called like tons of people over and over again and talking tons of random crap. (which i'm lead to believe was from being in shock) and then i passed out. I woke up this morning with a bad headache, sore neck, and left arm.... and feeling really confused still. My mom had already taken care of most of the insurance stuff since she is my State Farm agent.... but i had to get to my ride to see what kinda condition it was in AND rape it of all the aftermarket stuff i could and put the old stuff back on. When i got to it... it was heart breaking to say the least. The front passenger side is totally jacked, the wheel including almost everything connected to it came flying off, the passenger door is smashed in, and the passenger rear end is smashed up. The windshield is cracked and the passenger front window was blown out. Luckily i'm only alittle banged up but ok. The other driver was driving someone else's truck but was insured and left without any injuries. I have no memories from after i left work and was driving up to and prior to the accident. Which the doctors said is from the concusion. They said i must have turned my head before the truck hit me and the back of my head hit the piller between the windows. I know the car is not worth repairing and State Farm will wind up just cutting me a check. I don't know what to do about a new car... i'm gonna be starting college in the fall and don't want a car payment. I'd really like to get another 7thGen... i still got all the used parts and tons that havent' gotten put on, but always wanted a Prelude or Del Sol, maybe a Integra. Any opinions on my next ride? And please no requests for my parts just yet... i gotta wait and see. I miss my ride already! :( |
Thats sucks good thing your still alive..sucks bout ure car tho.... No part out..:_please: Why not a Rsx? |
ep3 ftw!! |
Leta just thank god you are allright. And nothing more than being sore is happened to ya. Sorry to about your vic. I say either the prelude or the integra. |
thats good u ok man another civic gone ..... |
Thanks guys.... I'm really wanting another 7thGen sedan, but i think whatever the insurance company gives me won't cover buying one, i think book value of the car is around $8k, God knows i'll get less. So picking up another 7thGen in good condition for what i get from them is gonna be hard. yes... i will do a part out if i don't get a 7thGen, i thought i asked to not be asked about parts yet, i might be confused though... i am the one with the concusion. :giggle: If or when i do do a part out.... they'll got cheap and everyone here on the forums gets first dibbs. |
damn man glad your ok hope everything works out for ya and I've always liked prelude and integra.... |
ya glad your ok get another civic |
my boy is sellin his prelude.....clean as hell....i'll post a pic later |
jeez dude. good thing it wasnt worse. congrats on staying alive. lol if they cut you a check for $8k, you can definitely get a used car for that. pay the whole thing off in cash or put down half and the payments are gonna be pretty reasonable. either way, if you can have a car at college your frosh year, and the school is in a rural area and not smack in the middle of a city, youre better off with a car. hope you can still make it to the M-A meet... |
Good thing ur alright. Keep me posted on the parting out!! |
that's a crazy story, good thing you're okay |
sorry this happened but at least you're still alive. |
glad your ok for the most part. i vote that you get an EG hatch and turbo it :). you can the car for around 4k and a junkyard turbo kit for 1k and have 3k for anything else you want. |
get a prelude. i had one before my vic. it's an awesome car. here is a pic http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3...size9pl.th.png |
older hondas ftw :p sucks your car is totaled though. glad you made it out ok :) |
Wow, Im glad that your ok after a crash that left you clueless. Its also safe to know how safe our 7thgens could be. But if I were you I would get something more fun to drive. I would choose a built EG6. |
I can say that they can take a beating.... luckily they say i turned my head to look at where i was gonna get hit at... if not the side of my head would have taken the impact instead of the back. Here's a pic... i don't feel like sharing too many just right now... still kinda heart broken over the whole thing. http://www.10thgencivic.com/memberri...ie_wrecked.jpg Now as far as looking for a new ride... after looking around on ClubCivic... which i don't like as much as here... i wrote down acouple ones that i think would be good to start with: '97-'00 Integra RS/LS/GS GS-R '97-01 Prelude '99-'00 Civic SI What kinda price range am i looking at for these in decent condition? Which older RSX is worth my time to look for? I tried to look for info but started feeling confused and my head is still kinda bothering me alittle. I would guess it's better to go with a straight DOHC VTEC already in car since this saves me head ache later. But i really don't know much about the 6thGens cause my 7thGen was the first car i bought brand new and i spent all my time and alot of money only researching about it. If possible i'd really like to go with another 7thGen, but only an EX, and take if from there trying to catch back up. I don't know alot about B series engines at all compared to the D. Anyone recommend a forum or site to help me research? Thanks again |
WOWOWOWOWOWOW that is INSANE! |
can i get a vote for Best Wrecked Sedan? ;) |
Wow, dude. Thank God you didn't have a passenger. I think my vote is for an Integra GS-R. Friend of mine has a '96 GS-R with a JDM B18C, and she's puttin out almost 350 bhp at the wheels. |

BTW: i have taken everything off except the exhaust, pulleys, RS Grille (it's shot) and the swapped Vtec head (VAFCII came out) I probably won't mess with the exhaust or the Grille... i'm thinking hard if i wanna mess with pulling the pulleys and putting the old ones back on before the insurance guys looks at it...... i'd probably just cut the belts to do it. Will do a part out thread when i know more... everyone will just have to hold their breath awhile. Sorry |
dude seriously i'm glad ur are able to talk to us... |
hehe... thanks that means alot to me.... half the reason i wanna go with another 7thGen is cause this site has made me love mine more and more since the day i first logged on. ..... even though i know you guys are just buttering me up for the part out... i'm kidding. I'm really happy i didn't put the brand new camber kits and springs on last week. :tup: Tomorrow i'm going to put the oem intake & battery back in and see about getting the pulleys out. Then i'm calling the insurance guy to come and inspect it. I will keep everyone updated |
Dayum thats a hard hit...good thing you didn't get hurt more than you did. I'd say go with a 99-00 Si....I love the look of them. Just real clean looking car to me, plus some power there. |
get the 00 si or a gsr. screw the new cars. |
get a srt-4 |
i say the 00 si always a car i have admired and i glad your decently ok and man that car is smashed |
oh sh1t, that's another 7thgen down :(!!! Glad you're ok man.. |
Why does everyone say something like "that's another 7thGen down"? I know i haven't gotten on for like two weeks cause i was in field training... but has someone else wrecked recently? Curiouz_G, sorry man... but i would rather get a KIA before a SRT-4... i hate Neons, and even though the SRT-4 has some kick to it... i will not give in. I'm getting a Honda/Acura... unless i have no other choice. |
guess your not going to the MA meet :shrug: |
Holy shit man. At least you walked out with your life. Hope you get well soon, an get on an RSX S!!!! |
hurts to see glad to hear you're alright man! i'd go integra prelude has no rear space |
2000 Si blue for sure!! :sweet: |
Today i'm getting a rental car from the insurance company, going to put the oem intake on and see about getting the aem pulleys off, then calling from them to come and inspect the ride.... i know for a fact they are not gonna worry about repairing this beast. After all that i'm going to the used car place i used to do reconditioning for and talk to them about looking for a new ride. I really don't wanna go see my car again..... depresses me alot. :( Will update ya'll later this evening |
glad to see your ok. sorry about the car. good luck on the new car search! |
From your choices on the list, I would choose the 99-00 Si or GSR. Im sure they will be fun, and you could still say on the site even if your getting something else. |
Man that sucks. But glad to see that you are okay. I got into a semi bad accident in my Cavalier(the reason why I bought a 7thGen)... Damn man though... Best thing to do is just go and see the car. It hurts but it's needed. |
Update Well i called the insurance company department that's handling the claim acouple times today to get things rolling. I told them i had to get some stuff out of it still, personal stuff. They told me they would tow the car to some other place to have them look at it to decided if it's totalled or not. I told them it was for sure not worth repairing costs and all, just kinda random talk about it. At that time they proceeded to talk down to me kinda, like i have no place to say that, they will decide. And that if i can't remember crap about the accident... then they'll have to get the police report to see, blah, blah, blah... i told them that was fine... i may be an @$$hole sometimes... but i have enough intergrity to man up for losing control of my car. I know this kinda treatment isn't usual of State Farm... it was the beeatch on the phone that has issues. I couldn't get to the car today cause of lots of stuff, gonna have to put the oem intake on tomorrow morning before work, i don't think i wanna mess with the pullies, since i don't want them to know i messed with it after the accident, or at least not that much. I know for sure the beast ain't starting while i have the VAFCII sitting in my room! ;) Other news... the rental place gave me a new Chevy Malibu... and i totally hate the piece of crap... i hate everything about it except the way it handles turns somewhat nice... that's the best i can do without totally bashing on the piece of crap! I think i shoulda went with the KIA instead. I should know more by the end of the week hopefully |
glad your ok man and if you decide not to get another 7thgen ill deff take your a2 head and vafcII jus shoot me a pm when you decide get a rsx S u can get used one for like 14-16 |
im glad that you are ok. I would say get the 99 si there nice cars |
i say the 99-00 si i have the same engine in my 93 coupe and i have a few boltons but that thing is fast as shit well i tryed to post a link but i do not have the 15 post so there is a 99 si for sale on Hondaswap.com in the cars for sale section for 8500 |
