Accident (my STi got t-boned)
I got T Boned turnin into a parking lot from the middle lane so I gotta pay a 1000 deductable.
Burnt my clutch yesterday, $1500 to fix
Not a drop of oil so I dont kno how I'm gonna get it to the shop
Tires are balder than an old bald man.
But hell, I still gotta STi

Its called a tow truck to get to the shop. So heres what really happened. (You got T-boned. The throttle got stuck and your tires were spinning burning them and your clutch up in the process creating a blowby situation shooting all the oil out of your motor all due to the accident) I know I know you can thank me later. Im kinda a pro at these things........Seriously though sorry to hear that.

damn i got a $1000 deductible too. but im pretty sure its 100% the other party's fault just waiting on the investigation. goodluck with everything. im hoping my accident was a blessing in disguise to get me looking pretty for summer mode.

OP, you were turning into a parking lot from the middle lane and not the far right? i don't get it.
Usually insurance payments take the deductable out of the payment..I.E...if you have $2500 damage minus $1000 deductable your payment is only $1500

when i got into a hit and run with my gti we got our deductible refunded back about a month after all was said and done and repaired.
you might recieve the deductible amount in the form of a check from the other party's insurance if they are found at fault. otherwise you're supposed to "cover" that deductible amount for whatever the repair estimate was.

Sucks to hear. I wonder if the insurance company will total the car? It might cost way over the value, depending on what's damaged. It does look like there's frame damage as well. Good Luck though.
