2014 argento frs down at 1500 miles...

[252actual]

well it happened... i was minding my own business stopped at a red light when some ass coming home from the seahawks maddness, talking on his damn phone, hit me at about 80mph. he would have hit me square but i just happened to look up and see him coming... dumped the clutch slammed on the gas and hooked it to the right just enough to keep myself alive. even though i got partly out of the way he knocked my car about 35-40 feet and up onto the curb he hit me so hard it ripped the front wheels off his car.. like OFF! he was skidding around nose down with no breaks... his front wheels were seriously dragging out the side of the wheel wells and he skidded for about 300ft before coming to a stop...

i just got out of the ER. nothing was gushing blood but i figured it best to get checked out. sprained wrist, back pain, and im crazy sore. feels like i got hit by a truck... or a car going 80mph...

honestly i don't really care. im just glad nobody was seriously hurt. im pissed about my car but cars can be replaced... and somebody is lookin out for me for sure. if i hadn't looked up and seen him he would have hit me dead center.

at least he admitted guilt. even told the cops he was speeding and talking on his phone, and he has full insurance so it looks like ill be getting reimbursed... but how do i go about getting the money for all the aftermarket stuff? ive never dealt with totaling a car thats worth anything.


anyway... figured id share my grief

Sorry bout the car. Glad your ok.

Sorry for your lost. Happened to me too. Try to get everything aftermarket out of your car. If your insurance doesnt know the value of all the parts you put into your car and it wasnt insured with it. I highly doubt they can do anything about it. But dont quote me on that.

I removed all my aftermarket parts off and replaced them with stocks when I was rear ended.

Glad you are ok. Like you said cars can be replaced.

I think it varies state to state. In GA, if it's the other persons fault their insurance has to make you whole. This includes anything that was on your car.

Someone backed up into my WRX many years ago. It destroyed the front lip and caused damage to the side skirts. These were very expensive C-West pieces. I also had the HID JDM lights, aftermarket grille etc. Their insurance company (StateFarm) was very clear from the beginning that they would restore everything to how it was. Cost them a fortune too.

Now, if it was your own insurance that may be different...

I have state farm and they covered everything including my aftermarket stuff without having to pay extra. I think it has to do with the autobody and what they tell the insurance what is needed.

Sounds like your attention saved your life. Kudos!

As a motorcyclist who has been hit twice while stopped at traffic lights, I constantly scan the area around me when in such a vulnerable position. Being in a car is no different.

Glad this driver fessed up. Hope he feels like an ass and it costs him dearly. This collision may cause him to change his driving attitude, but I doubt it. Everyone talks and texts on the road. Perhaps cell phones should be automatically disabled in moving cars.

Sucks to hear, could have been worse and now you are safe

[ramiram1984]

Fucking asshole bandwagon fan who hit you. Hope you get everything settled.

Now, I agree with THAT!

Especially people like me ...... if I start talking on a cell phone (hands free or not) while driving, someone may as well put a sheet over my windshield .....

OUCH ....... THAT made a mess of your car for sure ....

I hope you are OK and don't suffer any post accident problems.

Looks like you will be getting a new car.

thanks guys. woke up feeling like i got beat with a bat haha. gonna be a rough few days. im fairly certain they will total out the car. not only is the left rear completely crushed but even my drivers seat was pushed forward about half a foot so theres no straightening that out. i remember when i was trying to get out i was like "why is my steering wheel so close to my chest haha. might do a buyback if its totaled but im not sure if the exhaust or wheels are still whole. i wouldn't mind getting my audio system and any wheels that didn't get destroyed but to be honest i cant really remember much about the damage, its kind of a blur... just glad nobody got seriously hurt.
