I don't even see the point of owning anything nice nowadays because people just mess it up. Driving home on Street Road Sunday night...in the left lane...an elderly guy who had no business having his license just flat out stops for no reason on a 45mph road...I slam on the brakes, almost come to a complete stop(still had room to stop) when a new Pathfinder towing a boat slams into me doing 50+mph....I give up....I really do. Didn't even make my first ****ing payment...1484 miles on her.

I don't think it's gonna be enough to total it and quite honestly I don't want the car back....the value is now completely destroyed and the car will never drive the same....so sad. :(

At least the old **** got a few tickets and may have to take his driver's test again...I hope he fails.

Sucks about the car for sure, but did you come away OK?

Jersey Mike 07-19-2016 11:29 AM

Yeah, I don't know what to say to that one. That's ******. Sorry, Tone. And agreed, I'd imagine that's nowhere near totaled .

Numb on my left side, most likely a pinched nerve. Gotta get tests

NJ Torque 07-19-2016 12:39 PM

Sucks brother. Glad your OK....

noboundreez2345 07-19-2016 12:56 PM

That sucks but glad your ok.

Blackbirdws6 07-19-2016 01:27 PM

Ughhhhhhh. This is one of my fears. Get a new car, everything is good and then wham. Hope nothing serious is wrong with you.

Jersey Mike 07-19-2016 01:27 PM

Tow that bitch to Duke. :rofl:







(Too soon?)

unstable bob gable 07-19-2016 03:07 PM

Sucks all the way around. Nice looking Camaro has to be subjected to that bs.

elle 07-19-2016 03:29 PM

Horrible, hope it all works out

Featherburner 07-19-2016 03:50 PM

lol, I got a chuckle out of it lol.

I'm still waiting on the estimate, I really really don't want the car back, it'll never be the same but the car stickered in the high high 40's...it's gonna take a lot to total it...hopefully they can look at the damage and deem it a constructive total loss.

V 07-19-2016 07:48 PM

That sucks, sorry to hear.

I always fear the first door ding, this is a little more... ouch.


For some odd reason if it does get fixed and you can grab that damaged front bumper, Id like it. I have that prototype headlight from the '16 camaro(was listed on ebay before the car was revealed) and I'd like a front bumper to mount it to my garage wall with, kinda like the car broke though the wall, lol.

Punkmaster 98 07-19-2016 08:18 PM

Sorry to hear, hopefully it all works out

sweetbmxrider 07-20-2016 06:52 AM

Sucks man. Going off of the pics, it looks very repairable. It also looks mostly cosmetic with minimal structure damage. If you take it to a good body shop, you shouldn't have a single issue with the car post repair. My buddy likes to pull cars into better than factory spec :lol: The biggest problem will be getting parts since it is brand new. Maybe they'll find a couple kinks in the roof or frame rails and it will total ;-)

edpontiac91 07-20-2016 07:55 AM

SUCKS would be not enough for most of us:evil:. Hope no side effects on the health side. It would tough bullet to bite, but if it not totaled, trade it back in after repairs are made and see what the Dealer cost would be to replace it. You also now have a CARFAX stamp on the vehicles record that will follow it around and will hurt its resale value.

sully91rs 07-20-2016 11:42 AM

Terrible. Makes me not want to take my car out of the garage even more.

Maybe look into "Diminished Value" property loss. Sounds like it exists for this exact case, brand new car get significant damage, no way to return it to pre-accident value when factoring in accident history.

IROCZman15 07-20-2016 06:25 PM

wow man, that is a complete tragedy. so sorry for you . sucks big time

3.4 grape of wrath 07-21-2016 02:04 PM

Wow that sucks! Hope it all works out OK for you.

maroman88 07-22-2016 12:23 AM

what.the.****.

Frosty 07-22-2016 06:27 PM

$19k in damages...still fixing it. It's actually not as bad as it looks, the parts are crazy expensive. I still don't want it back but the car stickered for almost $50K, it would take a lot to total it.

Yes, already lawyered up, going after lost wages, diminished value, I just lost at least 20% on the value now with a ****** CarFax. I'm still out of work, seem like it might be a pinched nerve in my back.

This is such a ****** situation. I hope the elderly **** has to retake his test and he fails miserably.

NJ Torque 07-25-2016 10:37 AM

So ******. His insurance picking it up, I hope?

qwikz28 07-25-2016 10:48 AM

Sorry man, that really stinks. :(

My sister recently crashed her SUV. The value was about $45k and the damages were estimated at $20-25k. Geico still totaled the car out as they figured the car could be auctioned in its current state for about the difference in value so it didn't make fiscal sense to repair it. I wonder why they didn't do the same for you since that car, with that motor, could still fetch a pretty penny at the auction.
