Ouch!

Doesn't look like it was hooning or drifting, but got hit by a careless driver. Our reputation is safe, for now.

Temp registration in window + plate on the van next to it indicate this may have been in California.

This may not bode well for my future insurance premiums.

looks like a limited from the pic with white fender trim.

As pointed out in Random Thoughts Thread, it is very likely that this could be a Premium due to the lack of fog lights, with the Limited spoiler added on.

Um... if someone else hits them the premiums for the other car go up. This car didn't hit anyone at it's own fault.

Now it is safe to wreck my BRZ.

DOH!

It's a premium with the optional spoiler. The fender trim, I assume you mean the faux vent, has nothing to do with trim level. The chrome strip you can get is an optional accessory.

Unless the driver was running a red light, unsafely turning at an unprotected left, etc. I guess I was assuming the worst.

+1. Premium w/spoiler. I was fooled once when I saw a CBS Premuim w/spoiler and thought it was Limited until I saw the lack of fogs.

Back on topic, very painful to look at that pic. :brokenheart: My theories are as follows:

A.) He or she backed up with the door open and caught a very sturdy object (the scene from Tommy Boy comes to mind.

B.) As previously stated, it was hit by a careless driver (although I'm still trying to figure out how the passenger door was involved...unless it was on a one way street with parking on the left :iono:)

The damage on the fender leads me to believe he hit an object about knee high that pushed in the fender, and pushed the door back. A hydrant (see paint transfer) perhaps. 3 whiteout wrecks now.

On a side note, I almost became #6 tonight when a lady ran a red light in front of me. I got a turn signal and started my turn, then recognized she wasn't stopping. I had to break hard too dodge her.

GenkiElite 07-13-2012 12:23 AM
Looks kinda like the door was over extended and then pulled out so it could be closed.

earthsscum 07-13-2012 12:26 AM
Fire hydrant or a red smart...golf cart who knows? California car for sure though

Making a left and someone tries to make a right at an intersection with a large enough shoulder to facilitate a right on red?

MRZ415 07-13-2012 03:43 AM
At the current rate I got a good feeling sooner or later there will be
alot of Salvaged parts going on craigslist from a Totaled BRZ/FR-S.

Fess up guys! :P

What makes either one of you think it works that way? I'm fairly certain it has to do with the overall amount of the specific vehicle still being operational or unwrecked as well as available parts, rather than who was at fault. Who is at fault is simply for their specific claim.

Example, if an airplane engine falls out of the sky and lands in a parking lot full of FR-S's and BRZ's...you can bet everyones rates are going up because the supply just decreased, and yet not a single driver was at fault.

Actually, you can count on the cost of your airfare going up to cover their costs rising ;)

Well, let's hope that never happens as that would be a sad day for FT86 Club.

(Note to self: Don't park parallel to runway flight paths.)

He could have been drifting left at an intersection and had his passenger side go up into something.

BoxeRZ 07-13-2012 05:14 PM
A drivers natural reaction is to put the passenger side at risk when faced with an imminent accident. The safest seat in a car(4door) is back seat drivers side. The Japanese will always put their guest or business associates in that spot.
