Here are some pics from my little accident in Tahoe a week ago. Thanks to all those guys w/ body shop help from my previous post. Price for repair is at $5000 and climbing. Since a lot of us are getting hit these days, I thought I'd share. Pics courtesy of andyc.

 

Damn. Sorry to keep seeing these. Glad to see that most aren't I-clubers faults, and that everyone is coming out of the accidents in one piece.

good luck with the repairs.

 

You figure out which shop your getting the repairs done at, or are the insurance companies still batteling things out?

 

I took it in to Larkfield Body and Paint because both insurance companies approve of it and they do quality work. I'm going to pay the deductible and have my insurance company go after them. I got tired fo the waiting for the other guys insurance company to say what they want to do.

Hope you're ok, getting hit from the back like that can cause some serious neck/back injury.

 

ditto...as long as you're okay that is all that counts. you can fix/replace a car, not your body.

those pics make me sad tho

 

make sure you get that back/spine checked and then rechecked before the 1yr settlement period. you're allowed 1yr from the date of teh accident to bring suit.

i was involved in a similar accident about 4yrs ago and my back has never been the same ever since...

 

Thanks for the info. Luckily, I don't think anyone was hurt. The passengers and I saw it coming and braced for it.

 

yeah, drive safely and cautiously everyone.......

 

wait wait, I'm in pain!!

oh wait, that was from all the skiing and falling....

 

yep...tis the season...i was driving 75 in the fast lane, then a 4 door acura, heavy car with no suspension, passes me and makes a lane change where he proceeds to fish tail and hit the wall head on doing 80...he slides sideways blocking the fast lane, so i down shift and merge to the slow lane...then the car unlodges off the wall and goes backward across the freeway and i t-bone him and push the car off the freeway. His car was totaled completely and mine had a damaged bumper, and 1 damaged fender, oh ya he broke a fog light too...well it wasnt my fault so insurance is sueing him. I guess its time for sti hood scoop, and aftermarket bumper...

 

How's the wrist? I bet it will be healed by the first weekend in Feb.

 

it had damn well better be!

i went roadbiking today and hurt it again pretty bad bouncing out of a pothole. It had better be healed by next weekend. I think I am skiing Dodge and Bear Valley if it is

 

Let me know if you need a wrist brace.

 

this keeps happening because people drive with their head up their a** talking on the cell phone or playing graba** with the passengers of the car putting on makup i can go on and on
its really pissin me off every time im stopped at a light and some jerkoff comes skidding up behind me cus they didnt notice everyone was stopped.
and people following way too close really gets on my last nerv too
