That's a bummer but the good news is it looks fixable. I've done a lot of repair work on my FRS so I guess I'm laid back like you LOL. But I hope the body shop hooks you up and she drives like new again!


Hey, maybe it's a good time to buy the Greddy Rocket Bunny Wide Body Kit and use the insurance money for it . Hope it all works out for you!!

Can we talk about her plates and how she likely meant velour as opposed to valeur?

Sorry about the accident, and glad to see you keeping a good sense of humor about it. Hope everything works out for the best.

Crazy part is... we were well past the intersection, and I was in FRONT of her. Not like she couldn't see me. Drifting over accidents seem to happen more with the inside person running into the outside person because the outside person is in a blind spot, or a side to side contact. This one is just weird since I was clearly in front of her and visible. Thus leading to me thinking she fell asleep or something. The sudden panicked acceleration also leads me to think that too.

My insurance pays directly to the body shop. However, I'll ask to see what they can do for me. Problem is that the 1/4 panel needs to be cut and welded to be replaced, so it's not as simple as just cutting the damage and adding a fender flare. The rear bumper however...


Will keep everyone posted. What I'm really interested in is the diminished value claim...

So I just got off the phone w/ the body shop. Looks like I can sub in parts if I wanted to, but they won't touch complex fiberglass.

I wonder if the Cleib diffuser will fit over my exhaust? Or maybe it's time to get the drivewaylabs diffuser...

Any suggestions for some ABS goodies?

Not sure, but that would be a nice amount to work with if it was damaged. It doesn't appear to be significantly damaged, but since it's Ti, I don't think there's any fixing of ANY damage or dent to it. They're going to try to dissemble later today.

glad your ok. glad your staying positive. you go put them miles on a rental! xD here in california its legal to turn into either lane while making a left or right turn with two lanes (ofc only if the lane is open) but people dont look/care or something else that causes them to be idiots and turn into the outside lane from the inside and cut me off. got in an accident in the work truck twice last year because people turned into my lane because they just dont look. one guy was on his phone and then insisted to the cops that it was all my fault and that i was an agressive driver who rammed him because he was in my way...lol the police denied the possibility of that happening once they looked at the scene.

anyways i digress. i hope your car gets returned to as close to normal as possible and hopefully no chasis damage.

I think the inside left turn lane can ONLY go into the inside lane after a left turn, while the outside left turn person can go into any lane. But once actually IN a lane and past the solid white line area, then you need to follow normal rules regarding lane changes. I'm from Cali, and this is what I can remember from the many traffic schools I've been to... LOL oh well.

I don't think there's any frame damage, and hope there's no damage to the suspension from her flooring it after being in contact w/ my car... we'll see what happens.

i think that sounds correct but as far as anybody really cares (especially you jackasses in your giant lifted trucks) they can turn into any lane because well "hey i can just run you over" or "well i wont do any damage to my tow hitch"

lol ive been to so many traffic schools as well, did you know ( at least here in cali) you can go more than every 18 mo? all you have to do is go to court and ask the judge to let you go.
