GAWD DAMN IT!!!
 

so this dumb ass lady hit my parked car today while i was out at a job site. Royally fucked up my car and believe it or not her silver 2002 CRV was in worse shape.. the passenger side front wheel was bent in and under her frame

who knows what the hell she was doing to hit my car on a quiet side street. Either on her fucking phone or paying attention to her stupid dog instead of watching where she was going
i can only hope this has frame damage so i get a brand new car out of the deal. (replacement insurance) Otherwise i'm stuck with a depreciated value car for a mistake i didn't even make other than taking it out from my garage this morning

FUUUUCKK!!!!!!

Did the accident give your left back wheel negative camber, or is that just the picture playing tricks on me?

Nope you're not seeing things, just free stance.

negative camber? i'm unfamiliar with that term

if you're asking of the back wheel is fucked up? then yes it is, it's bent at a fucked up angle and the car was not driveable. the boss had to give me a ride home today and took all my tools with him and tomorrow i get picked up for work

i just hope this all gets sorted out soon. i miss driving her already

I feel for you bro!! I'm glad you caught her at least. Some people would try to run off. I hope you get paid off.

Well, did she have nice boobs at least?

You are a sick puppy, Hotrodheart ......:slap:


humfrz

Your scion was quick till it took a shot to the fender

Negative camber is what everyone is referring to when they say camber on most cars. Negative is really the only way you would go on a street car, so people just drop the word negative. You could use positive camber, but it's usually only on the inside wheels of an oval racing car.

Unfortunately it looks like you have more than just body damage with all of that camber. Hopefully they do a good job getting that straigtened out so it drives as it should again.

May need to go back one more step as to what camber is!

Camber angle is the angle made by the wheels of a vehicle; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheels used for steering and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear. It is used in the design of steering and suspension. If the top of the wheel is farther out than the bottom (that is, away from the axle), it is called positive camber; if the bottom of the wheel is farther out than the top, it is called negative camber.

Did you bludgeon her?

RIP rear quarter panel. :(

My quarter panel was reversed into and I had a dent right over the wheel. Cost $1500 to fix and repaint to perfection. That is going to be a lot more than $1500... I hope you get a new one out of it.. get a monogram if you can! :D

That is a LOT of damage to do to a parked car... I would make a diminished value claim if possible.

dang...sucks!

Accidents happen though, and no one was hurt. Still sucks though

That sucks bro!!! Rocket Bunny body kit time

Doesn't look totaled to me.

Suspension damage :(

After having similar looking (if not worse) damage to my car, I can almost guarantee you that it's not a write off. New rear bumper, probably replace the quarter panel, some suspension work and your done. $10k maybe?


We don't have diminished value claim (with insurance) in Canada. He would have to sue the person directly and try to recover lost value that way. I spoke to a few lawyers, and they basically said not to bother because of the low success rate.

If she's not staring at her dog or the opposite direction it's just plain accident. One of the downside about small cars like the 86, is we're sitting ducks to other bigger cars such as SUV's and trucks.

(SAMPLE DIAGRAM & NOT INTENDED FOR LEGAL USE)

In New York you can ONLY sue for medical damages above what insurance covers. The court won't even allow a claim to be filed for anything else.

Nearly every day on my commute I have to lay into the horn or stand on the brakes to keep from getting squashed. NYC is the land of big vehicles being driven by drivers with questionable credentials. The most popular vehicles being used for livery cars are Suburbans/Escalades/Yukon XL and they really don't give a hoot about small cars, they literally just take them out and keep going. Many of them have huge bumper guards so there is very little chance of them sustaining significant damage unless they really hit something hard.
