painful to look at. not a total at all. very fixable atually. how many air bags went off? thats a big question that the insurance company will look at. wha did you hit?

alz0rz
03-22-2009, 02:40 AM
2 airbags went off.

something I couldn't get in the pics is that the plastic upper intake manifold is actually stripped off the LIM.. so the damge is a bit more extensive then what is in these first few pics.. I will try to get better pics tomorrow.

i'm sure at 75% value of the car they can fix it.. but i'm wondering if I would be comfortable driving a car where nearly 10,000$ in repairs was needed... and I say that without even having GAP coverage.

well hail damage is mostly outer body work, no?

my battery completely leaked out.. it was punctured. the entire intake tract is screwed.. including the throttle body and as I mentioned before the UIM.. it was "stripped" off the LIM.. not quite sure what happened there. the fusebox was decimated. a/c condenser completely purged. all my coolant leaked out.. not sure from where yet. i'm just trying to give a bit more of an idea of the damage that can't be seen in the pics.

Total it? I HIGHLY doubt that is totaled.

MOST of the damage appears to be cosmetic and will not effect the way the car drives at all as long as the frame is not bent...


looks like a good excuse to get a body kit and hood IMO

all that damage was caused by a TOW HITCH from a pickup truck. the pickup truck had 0 damage. I pretty much drove under the damn thing :(

I had the same thing almost happen to me the other day. getting onto the free way, straight on ramp, traffic lights weren't on. Car in front of me accelerating to freeway speeds, but I was hanging back because I've seen people do stupid things too often. Sure enough this lady SLAMMED on her brakes right before the lights (that were still off btw). The weird part is that she start decelerating quickly before her brake lights ever came on. Either her relay is bad or she was using some ebrake before the brake pedal.

I had a very safe distance behind her and was able to simply veer into the carpool lane and pass her.. the car behind me (following way too close on my ass) didn't react in time and I was able to see the collision in my rearview.

After thinking about what a dumb $(*^#$(^ she was for awhile I came to the conclusion that she was trying to get hit. It was almost time for the traffic lights to come on, and I'm sure that by the time everyone got out and asked if people were ok the lights would be on.. in short, i'm thinking insurance scam.

I called the highway patrol the next day and gave them my info in case the guy who did hit her needs a witness to what occurred.

I'm just glad to hear that you're ok Alzorz. People might have all kinds of reason to turn their noses at 8's but they do their best to keep the occupants safe in an impact.

Wow man that was totally unexpected man, good thing you are alright. I doubt that the car is totaled, but in any case I say you should fix it up, you put a lot of effort into the car, don't throw that away :)

Also, my dad is like one of those driver's as Laythor said, but he doesn't purposely try to get his car totaled, instead he just sucks ass at driving... Like the other day, my dad missed the turn on a boulevard street @ traffic time and he slammed the brakes right in front of a green light. :( Seriously, he could've got us killed and hes been driving for 30 some odd years... Damn Asian Parents.

There is no accusations to be made. He recounted his story. Someone tried to lay fault on the person ahead. Fine, maybe they should not have stopped suddenly, maybe it was totally out of the blue, but ask any insurance company where fault lies and I guarantee they won't lay it all on the "asshole" who stops ahead of everyone. If you rear end somebody, it's ALWAYS at least partially your fault for being to close to react and avoid.

Like I said, I'm not trying to shit on him, it's a crap situation and I hope it gets fixed. I was just commenting on the other guys retarded statement.

You still don't stop on a friggin on ramp.......ever......get real!

I guess it could have been the one in ten thousand that actually have a stop mechanism/device on them,
but highly doubtful.

We all know it is automatically your fault if you hit someone from behind, but you pull that shit on me.....on an on ramp............. you're going to the hospital(more than likely), and I'm headed to jail.

That's fine. I know what you are saying. But Al may not have been following that close. When you are in that situation, you are probably going fairly quickly. If someone slams on their brakes in front of you unexpected, even if they are 15 feet in front of you....it will be a close call. And I understand who the insurance company will place blame on in situations like this. Doesn't mean it is correct though.

I'll let Al answer it though. I could be wrong as well. Just saying. :)

Edit: Oh and not a lot of details mentioned here....so to me it seems like an accusation or assumption on your part. ;)

I'm glad you're alright.

as a precaution I refuse to follow anyone onto the parkway for that exact reason. I usually wait until I everyone in front of me has gotten on the parkway, so I can hit 60 and merge into traffic like you're supposed to.

Especially on our insane ass parkways with damn turn style on ramps... Especially Northern state headed out east.

Long story short, be wary of on ramps, they are worse than intersections.
Once again, glad you are alright bro and I say total it.

Thanks everyone for their support and input.

I have to honestly say I was atleast 6-7 feet behind the guy I hit.

The other driver actually said in the police report that there was contact between him and the OTHER drive in front of him.. the other guy apparently drove off.

If the car is totaled.. I don't have GAP coverage.. I will have to pay the car off and the difference depending on how much it is I could use for a downpayment on something else I guess. I don't know how I will feel if they want to repair it.. like has been said with double digit damages in thousands.. this car is going to be stuck with me my whole life. That and I have a bad feeling about how the repair itself may turnout.

I will post new pics up tomorrow when I go check out the car and take real pics.

I guess I have to start considering a possible part out.

If it was a GM product, I'd call that "front clip and hood" replacement, along with incidentals like the UIM. As long as it didn't hit the shock towers and lower suspension tie-in points, you're looking at some serious cosmetic damage only.

wouldn't be surprised to see them total it.

regardless of it being all cosmetic or not. if the repairs total more than the value of the car based on whatever your insurance company uses for value assessment (NADA or KBB), they will total it. theoretically you could cause 20k+ damage just to the outside of your car with no damage to anything as far as chasis or under the hood. if the car values at 13k, it makes no sense for an insurance company to repair your vehicle.

ECU cover (maybe ECU?)
Engine bay fuse block

Stock Airbox Assy (inc VFAD)
Upper Intake Manifold (possibly TB?)

most of the settlement is going back to the lender since I dont have GAP coverage.. so at best I have a healthy downpayment on another car if I decide to sell all my stuff... or if I want another 8 I still have a good downpayment and can keep most of my mods.

not sure...

Wow. That totally sucks. I think you're better off with it being totalled, not sure about financially, but you don't want a car that was in an accident that bad. stuff just gets messed up from the impact.

I feel for you

take all your mods out of it asap, use them to pay for your next car.
Sorry to hear about them totalling it but it's probably for the best. (car would never have been the same)

Son-a-bitch! Sorry to hear of the loss.

Check out cardomain.com if you're serious about another -8. I've been entertaining thoughts of a "track bitch" -8, and was shocked at the way prices have been falling on used models.

I mean seriously nuts! (http://usedcars.cardomain.com/detail/cars/ob-N7GzO8C7ubsLO2uzs7a222t7e2AYmdQ3VoQEmT0c1oGDHw==/?pl=8) :Eyecrazy:

Man, I'm soo sorry Al. Those costs will add up quickly. I hope they total it. I had someone stop at a GREEN light a while ago turning right that went halfway into the intersection and stopped for no reason. I looked left to clear the direction, assumed the driver in front was long gone and went. I ruined my new MS bumper. It was definitely my fault since I hit her, but go damned those unpredictable drivers!!!!

:tear::tear:
32,010 miles - the insurance guy said that was "very low" for this model year, so pending verification at the salvage yard of the mileage I will get my settlement.

I had the car towed to my Dad's shop yesterday so last night I spent a good 5 hours getting everything off the car. I already started the part out in my local NE thread.. whatever isn't sold/dibbed on by Tuesday will go the FS forums for everyone else..

I have ideas of what my next car will be but it won't be immediate.. I'm just happy with insurance paying the car off and I keep the difference for a bigger down payment on something..:tear::tear::tear::tear::tear::tear:

Hey man, sorry about your loss. Good thing you sold your nitrous kit before anything happened. I bet the insurance company would've been up your ass if they saw that...

The 1 pic I got, lol.

http://implux.net/~alz0rz/images/n81.JPG

It cost me $12,500.
Only 25,000 miles, it's an 05 Touring.
Clearbra up front and I even got a second set of winter wheels/tires (blizzak's). The interior and exterior are mint.

And as a plus plus I drove 235 miles and I STILL have a quarter tank of gas remaining. In my previous 8 I was luckily if I got 200 miles before the light came on.

WOW, that's the exact same deal as mine! 25k miles, another set of rims with blizzaks, and I get about the same gas mileage as you!! But I don't have a spoiler, I have a nav though.


Congrats on the car :) Time to make a fresh and nice start!!

It is absolutely mint in and out. As you can see in the pics I already de-virginized her with the clear corners. Also did LEDs all around. Tomorrow I throw on the exhaust and intake. Then I have springs and the Racing Beat midpipe going on in a week or so. Followed by tires.
