I hope there is no major frame damage. It doesn't look too bad but she hit me at a decent speed. My head totally bounced off the top of the window area. This sucks.

I live reasonably close to you. Gimme her address so I can punch her in the face.

sh@t that sukx... hope insurance settles it w/ a surplus money for more parts

my car was being a biatch today... i ran around all over the place trying to look for a starter motor that fits into it... appareltn there are tons that doesnt fit.... weird

and whats worse is i still cant start the car.... fak imma check if i burnt a fuse... but dam im quite pissed

honda_bar · 07-16-2009, 12:01 AM

Dorman has been busy!

visuvius, sorry to hear that. Just need a new fender and buff?

Davis · 07-16-2009, 12:33 AM

Damn that sucks Hamad! What's with damages and the driver side 1/4.

Parking down hill ftw Christian.

Man my throat hurts, just came back from Knotts berry farm! Was it fun!

visuvius · 07-16-2009, 01:22 AM

Yah it doesn't look bad but the car is not driveable. The front wheel is totally bent inward. It seems like that part took most of the hit, though the rim is okay. The fender is jacked up and the bottom of the door is dented up as well.

EvilElvis · 07-16-2009, 01:28 AM

ugh just finished dropping the e51 out, felt like sleeping under the car. tomorrow, c52 goes in. the 20v will be slightly faster and lighter, but most importantly, running! How you liking the space wedge Renata? You need to slam it

EvilElvis · 07-16-2009, 01:30 AM

oh and visuvius i highly doubt theres frame dmg. But that does suck, i hope things work out

Mark_Dorman · 07-16-2009, 01:43 AM

Yeah...from the look of things there doesn't seem to be any major damage. Might need a new A-arm...looks like the damage went all the way to the door. That's gonna be a pricey fix. I'm guessing they estimate it around $3000.

Hey Christian...I just stole a starter off a turbo motor. Any 5s starter should work I feel like

. Yeah...checking fuses is always a good idea first. Did you check the starter relay???

Saki got cleaned today. She's spot free and has a couple nice coats of wax on her. I'm gonna have to say...serious hard water spots are the worst things ever. Took almost three hours to get them all out (full passenger side was toasted with them). The nice thing is she's looking good...minus the drivers side fender. I'll post pics tomorrow...

visuvius · 07-16-2009, 02:17 AM

The ladies insurance company isn't going to **** me over cause my car is low are they? I'm just worried they're going to try and find some reason to not pay up.

Mark_Dorman · 07-16-2009, 02:20 AM

They really can't. Unless your car isn't registered or you aren't a licensed driver there really isn't a way out of it. What insurance company is it?

visuvius · 07-16-2009, 02:49 AM

The insurance company is Anchor General Insurance Co. I've never heard of them which is one of the reasons I'm slightly concerned.

Mark_Dorman · 07-16-2009, 03:28 AM

Me either...I'll check into them...

masagsxr · 07-16-2009, 04:14 AM

Get a lawyer... They'll get you the $$$ you want and cover themselves in the process

... Thats if you dont want to deal with all the hassle.

Mark_Dorman · 07-16-2009, 04:35 AM

^Word...

Jcamry94 · 07-16-2009, 12:55 PM

Damn Mark nice rides in the sig pic! "to come"? how soon will that be?

Btw Supra without a spoiler is sacrilige

Mark_Dorman · 07-16-2009, 01:14 PM

BMW by next summer...the supra might be a couple years. It's gonna be a money pit so we'll see

. I'll get the bike before next summer I think...I miss riding so much. The porsche will be a while. It just depends when I can afford it. I'm most excited about the supra project though. I have big plans

And the Supra looks bomb with no wing

o6spdracer · 07-16-2009, 02:26 PM

^^You mean after you buy me my supra right?

Damn Hamid, sorry to hear about that. But agreed, get a lawyer! Call me if you need anything.

visuvius · 07-16-2009, 02:29 PM

Thanks for the support guys.

Right now I'm going to see what the insurance company adjuster says. I'm looking for them to fix my car, a rental, medical reimbursement (went to the ER last night cause my wife was bugging the crap out of me not to pull a Billy Mays), and possibly discomfort. If the adjuster comes up with some BS number, I'll do one of those free consultations with a lawyer.

honda_bar · 07-17-2009, 10:00 PM

I'll just leave this here.... I should do this to Hamads ride. Or a another 2 I get in the future

masagsxr · 07-17-2009, 11:34 PM

And yet local CHP/LAPD asks for donations here in my neighborhood

... hhhmmmmmm LoL
