Totaled My Civic =[ UPDATED WITH PICS [56k maybe]
 

So the other day i was leaving the gas station looking towards the street trying to make a left. the street that i had to cut across from and turn left onto was all backed up. so this truck waved me through so i can go through and take a left. well....i trusted him and before you know it, and kid goes into the left turn lane smashing into me. which forces my car into the left turn lane facing the intersection of 111th and 59. everyone was fine. the kid's airbags went off but mine didnt. I'm not really sure whose fault it is. i think its both our fault because he cut though many turn lanes to get to the one i was crossing over. and he prolly wasnt paying attention cuz i was stopped to see if any cars were comming but its still my fault cuz he had the right away. if he was watching it prolly could've gotten avoided.but still my fault for trusting a truck and blocking my view for oncomming cars and having my nose stick out into the other turn lane. right now it sits at the tow yard waiting for the insurance company and body shop to figure wat to do. Good thing is that he didnt touch my rims =D.

Update: According to the tow owner, the car runs fine since he had to drive it into the back lot. i turned the car on and it sounded fine. just gotta see what the bodyshop says. prolly this afternoon or tomorrow.

Right Fender [edge of the hood got bent prolly from opening the hood, my bad =\ ]

damn dude that sucks at least your okay and your rims :D i guess its time for basics..

aw that sucks =( but you're okay =)

Well first i didnt have my camera, and secondly why would i think about taking pics when i'm talking to the kids and making sure they're alright and talking to the cops and the fireman whats happening. My car got totalled in a busy intersection, who has time to think about taking pics.

sorry to hear.. glad yer ok... i got wrecked a week ago tomorrow...


1.....2....3....

where ya from....
hows yer right fender, p/s windshield wiper arm, front bumper(the metal one not the cover), p/s hood hinge and yer radiator bracket doing...


i know i know.. friggin scavengers...

its good that your ok and your rims are ok too.

i'm from Naperville, IL. This happened on Route 59 and 111th around 1PM today. I dont know how long it'll take me to get my car back. Insurance...Court...The body shop. Maybe 2 months the most, i dunno. hopefully alot sooner

Glad to hear your ok. Yeah man getting people to wave you on is not a good thing. That is the same thing that happened to me. Usually i try to be careful as to who to wave in and were. cause most people are just being nice but not looking out for your safety. Hope everything works out with the insurance..

o man im feelin ya... i just got a call from the shop... they finally put a wrench to my car.. the sub frame is all jacked.. raidiators twisted.. now they need to work up a second quote with my insurance... its going to be atleast 2 months before i get my car back if they dont just total it... god i hope they total it...

just be glad you didnt shatter bones in yer hand like i did...

good thing you're ok. is insurance gonna total the car or repair it?

I think repair it but i havent heard from them yet so i dunno.

updated with pics

shits not totalled.

I wrecked mine twice WAYYYYY worse.

Looks alright man.

Its not as bad as some other crashes on this forum but i still think its pretty bad. the front top frame where the hood latch is connected too is bent and not sure if any of my engine componets are messed up. all i know is that the engine is running bu not sure if anything is leaking.

that's sux......at least your mom is ok..

lol my mom wasnt in the accident, i took these pics at the tow yard. she drove me there since i dont have a car to drive any more =[

sorry to hear about that at least ur ok and ur rims lol

Haha yeah man, i just wonder how long its gonna take to get repaired. right now i have no ride and just using my mom's '99 civic sedan. lol

dont think thats a total loss, they probably going to just fix it, I hate it when that happens cause I would want a new car if I got into an accident with the car.

lol yeah, i was so glad i didint lower the car yet :D , cuz when they put it on that tow truck, it was just enough not to scratch anything. now if i lowered it...that'd be a diff story. :

glad youre alright.
your car is not totalled.... basically to be totalled, the engine/transmission need to be involved. Chassis/frame damage can be bent back.

that sucks!! glad to see your alright! nice wheels by the way.

not neccisarily, all it has to be is damage=more than kbb value=total loss.

aw, good luck with everything man

thats not totalled i was expecting a flipped car that was bent in half, still sorry it happened though

^ whats his mom gotta do with it?

But fahreals, i thought it was going to be way worse when i read the topic. Totaly fixable. You'll be out on the road red-lining in no time.

Glad to hear you and the kids are ok. That's wierd about your airbag not going off. When they fix your car you should have them double-check your airbag. The damage dosn't look too bad.

damn, I feel sorry for you man, glad youre ok, time for an Si or type-s :D

airbags didnt go off cuz the kid hit the top corner of my bumper. but yeah he had to be going fast enough to make that kind of damage though. gotta go to court sometime next week so they can hear both sides of the story and decide whose at fault. but i got a ticket for not yielding..

And insurance is covering it. Its sitting at the bodyshop right now, dunno when they're gonna start. prolly after the kids insurance company takes a look at it.

damn man that sucks....nice wheels tho :giggle:
