Before i talk about this, im not asking for sympathy or anything, just figured id share what happened late tonight.

So im in my z28, omw home from my bouncer job in north wildwood around 3:25 AM and i stop at the Dennisville Wawa (8mins from my house) i get some milk and 2 tastycake apple pies. i leave the wawa, theres nobody behind me whatsoever. as im driving down the straight piece of road, i see headlights in the distance, no biggie. then im like 1000 feet from the rt 47/347 traffic light and i have to make a left turn, so i signal (its a double line, no passing as well) i look in my rearview mirror and see headlights swerve to the left like they were going to pass me, so i audibly say f**kin jerk- before i could finish with the "off", they lost control and nailed my car on the rear driver side quarterpanel and bumper, kinda like a pit manuever. (approx 350am time of accident) I hear a sickening smash and next thing you know, im spinning out. put the clutch in, got on the brakes and countersteered but since they hit me so hard, it was past the point of no return so i cut it back the other way and kept my ride on the road. luckily there was no oncoming traffic bc i wouldve probably been hit head on.

i was going to call 911, but I saw that there was a volunteer fireman already there on the scene. he was on his way home, he actually witnessed the whole thing. he estimated the honda was going approx 90mph when they passed him. another car stopped, and then someone asked if i was drunk, im like "WTF!!!? NO! IM THE ONE THAT GOT HIT! Maybe you should ask the people in the honda that question!" im pretty sure those 2 girls were drinking before driving. i mean how do u lose control on a straight road? all of us walked away unscathed, i called my insurance company and gave them all the info. My car is banged up, but not bad enough where i couldnt drive it home. The hondas rear bumper fell off, it looked like forza 3 out there. Ill get pics later today in the daylight

oops i left that part out. i was in the z28 :/ The accident happened on the southbound end of 47/347. if youre heading north on 47, itd be approx 1000feet before 347/47 traffic light. look for a few hundred feet worth of skidmarks lol. the volunteer fireman who was on the scene called it in, cops, emt, and more volunteer fireman showed up. I shouldve stuck around to see if the girls were going to get arrested, but i just wanted to get home. I dont know how i didnt flip out, i kinda told myself it wouldnt help the situation, so i was pretty cool, but definately angry. another thing that helped a lil was the fact that there was at least one other witness that saw how fast they were going. its 100% their fault

It's always better to stay level-headed in situations like this. If the other person wants to be aggresive let them be the a-hole with all the witnesses around. I think you've done all you can do for now.

after doing some thinking, i believe they were passing all 3 of us at high speed ON A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE, saw my left blinker come on, and then tried to get back behind me and thats when the sideswiped/pit maneuvered me

Your back hurts right? Noone questions when your back hurts when its 2 drunk bimbos that smacked ya :mrgreen:

At least its all body damage. Sounds like it could have been ALOT worse.

Glad you're OK man....sucks that they'll total that car out :(

When do you pick up the police report? It'll tell you if they got arrested.

i was thinking the same thing. good thing it was that late, otherwise you'd see pics with heavy front end damage and i'd probably be banged up as well. the girls were cute, i shouldve got their digits haha. i should have the report on monday. the insurance estimator guy hasnt shown up yet but he did call earlier and said they didnt forget about me. and yeah, its pretty crazy how the spoiler/hatch are ok lol

Won't all that stuff be on the police report? Haha you can call them up and tell them you want to make good on the situation and take them out somewhere...

Sorry to hear that - make sure you go to a doctor cause you never know - you may have an injury which will become evident after a couple of days

i should have the police report on monday. I will be sure to let everyone know. Things should go my way- Mainly because their car slammed into me, and a volunteer fireman who happened to be driving home was a witness to the whole thing; from the part when they passed him at a high rate of speed to the time of impact :D

Frosty

If things went down the way you say they did then you have nothing to worry about unless the chicks did a few things in the back of the police car to help change the officer's mind :rofl:

A few days? Hell my Dad got rear ended when I was little and didnt feel the effects of it for 2 months. Thought his back was just tight and when the knots started working themselves out he realized he had problems. Except by then the insurance had been settled and there was nothing he could do.

The point is 12sec is right go get checked out.

thats crazy how that delayed injury stuff happens, maybe i should. it wouldnt hurt to get it checked out

lol widebody kit, never saw that for a 4thgen f body before. ill be very surprised if they total it, the frame looks good, airbags didnt deploy, A pillars arent bent. probly be a couple grand. when i hit that dog with the trans am 4 years ago, i needed a front bumper cover, and a few small things, that wound up being $1200+ thank god i had full coverage then

Frosty
07-25-2010, 09:08 PM
It's gonna be more than a few grand. That outer wheelhouse is gonna need work, that rear body panels is gonna be toast once they get the bumper and tail light off....there's gonna be some hidden damage.

MyFirstZ
07-25-2010, 09:11 PM
i would say at least 4 grand

07-26-2010, 04:24 PM
I went to the police station today to see if they had the report, and they told me 10-14 days after the day of the accident.... Why does it take that long? my insurance company doesnt have the report either, the cops told them the same thing. so im dead in the water for now

Frosty
07-26-2010, 05:16 PM
Seriously? What could the cops in that area possibly have to do? 10-14 is a long time, most are 3-5 tops.

small depts may only have one traffic officer to sign off on the reports, and he may be the only one either qualified, or just designated to do them, and he could be on vacation! when i got hit in my truck, i drove right to the PD in my town and picked up the report not even half an hour later!
