My brand new rx8
 

Only 3 months old...and some inexperienced driver plows into me...10500$ damage...my insurance will go through the roof. :mad:

ouch dude..i feel your pain..good luck with the repairs. Its happen to all of us

mine was 3 weeks old. I so i know how u feal.

If someone hits you....why does your insurance go up?

that is just wrong
hope it is fixed soon
sorry man

Do you guys actually think that they will be able to fix it to the point where I won't be able to feel that the car has been hit...I'm refering to the rear axle ofcourse...all my friends tell me that the car will never be the same

here in New Jersey that's how this works...it's all calculated on percentages...i will share some of the guilt (let's say 20%) so my premium is going up even if the other driver is at vault.

Cant you get reimbursed from the other guys insurance for the loss of value of the car? Also, why would you even report it to your insurance? Let his insurance deal with fixing the car, getting you a rental, etc. I was in an accident a few months ago (very minor compared to yours) and i never told my insurance anything.....i shouldn't have to.

I got hit last January, it was the other guys fault. $6500 worth of damage, but my insurance didn't go up because it wasn't my fault and the other guys insurance paid for everything.

You sure? My mom got hit, her insurance didn't go up. It wouldn't be fair to have to pay for someone elses screw-up. You should check it out at the local court.

Another reason why New Jersey sucks ass.
Sorry to hear about your car. As long as there was no frame damage, they should be able to fix everything very well. Unless you race your 8 and drive it to its extreme limits, you will not probably notice a difference.

ouch man... the car hit u hard enough and pushed u onto the curb to have ur rims hit the curb and broke off? is that what i see?

Getting the rear axle and chassy to as new is a hard ask , fix it and then sell it and get a new one :eek: .Sorry to hear of your misfortune .

cheers

Sorry for your misfortune. But think of it this way! Even smashed up. It still looks so cool! Not many cars can say that.

Not a suggestion, just telling what others might do in your situation...

"All of sudden, you get a spasm in your neck, your arm starts to twitch, and you have trouble walking. Your back's in pain and your joints lock up. Suddenly you find yourself immobilized and you have to take time off from work or school. Who's going to pay your bills? Who's going to feed you? "You could be like this for weeks",... according to your best friend's doctor."

See where this is going?

:eek: sorry to hear that mate... all the best.
this is the 2nd time i see a cracked 8 wheel....... thats not good :(

I would fix it an sell it as it would not be the same to me, sorry to hear of your misfortune.

You guessed right...the impact launched the car in the air once I hit the curb...that was a frightening experience

But I would loose much money on it now...the value of the car after an accident like this must be less then 20 thousand...not sure if it's worth it.

I had my old car totalled about a year ago (in NJ) and my insurance didnt go up, even with the stupid "no fault" insurance. I think that it helped that the other driver got charged with reckless driving to prove that I was not at fault at all. If you have something like this you can show that to both insurance companies and the other will have to cover all expenses, and your company will just say, "that sucks" and not do anything more. However, it did take over a month before I got any money because the police dept was so backed up they didnt' get the report out for 3 weeks

Once everything is fixed it should feel like its still brand new 8. This happened to my old car, I got rear ended. But I didnt feel anything less to my car.

at least its not another silver whew.... I feel you're pain

CO is a no fault state also, unless the other person gets a ticket for reckless driving or some crap his insurance will go up. Just being involved in an accident will cause the insurance to rise in a "no fault" state. I got rear ended in my old maxima, totaled the car, obviously was not my fault and my insurance went up. No fault states suck big time. Sorry to hear about your new 8, if it was my i dont know that I would be able to contain myself from beating the snot out of the guy :cool:

Since I'm a cop that wouldn't be smart :D

Yeah but since you'd have a police baton it'd feel reeeeeeal good before your work buddies haul you off :D
