yea dude i even took it out of the sig. I got pics of it sitting in my camera waiting to be developed. im gonna go waste the last like 5 or 6 pics this weekend at a shindig im goin to so i should have something to scan up tuesday of next week.

ohh and i just got a call from insurance company of the guy that rear ended me. apparently his story is a little diffrent from mine and he said i hit the car infront of me firtst, or something like that trying to put off the blame from himself. yea i straightened that guy out and let him know the truth. he is gonna call the guy infront of me and get his story so maybe that second story will straighten everything out.

Well good luck with that. If it's a no-fault accident for you it might not even affect your insurance price at all. I've got two accidents, no fault, and ins. hasn't gone up at all.

Hope everything works out and you get what the car's worth or more.

BTW this is an important reminder to everyone, of the detrimental effects of tailgating. If you hit the guy in front of you because HE slams on his brakes, it's still your fault in the eyes of the law. Please everybody allow lots of stopping distance just in case. Even if you're in a hurry and he won't let you pass, etc., your car and your life and your insurance record are not worth the possible accident. Thanks and happy/safe driving.

from what i told my insurance guy he said it was a not at fault accident and its not effecting my insurance, i have 1700 bucks in repairs already and thats just the front bumper assembly. i take it in next monday for a teardown inspection and hopefully ill get the next 5 or 600 bucks worth of damage i need to total the car. Ive deceided to get me a lil 92-95 hatch. Vroom Vroom...

*points out that im now a level 1 AF guy*

i spent like 2 hours calling around to every dealership and used lot i could find in the yellow pages. after some dick tried to tell me the 4d wagon was a hatchback ... and after several no but we have a nice 2d coupe ... and to many sorry no we dont see very many hatches i finally found someone with a 92-95 hatch.

its a 95 hatch with 86000 miles on it, good working order with minimal scratches and wear on the bumper, apparently thats rather common with cars from frisco. Asking price is 6900 but he is willing to negotiate. Im gonna see if i can get it for 6 even. does this sound like a decent deal, im gonna go see the car on monday.

Too much $$ unless it's an SI.

[BLU CIVIC]

i got into an accident with my 91 civic (see avatar) i got spun around in the street and almost over the median. the 21 yr old who went about 10ft to total my car with his 89 cutlass went from a stop sign w/o looking. he managed to drive away with a few chips on his bumper. since i had coilovers, i had to raise my rear wheel to drive home. i went to kelly blue book online and they said that i'd get about $1500 since i dah 200,00+ miles and a dent, and paint coming off my car. suprisingly i was given $2600 and drove a chrystler sebring around for 2 weeks free. i wasn't even hurt and all state gave me $500 for "pain and time"

man i was thinking about all the things that i could have brought for my car with that money

Hey man, there is a 92-95 DX hatch with A/C and some other shit here in napa for $4000, its got 100k miles.

The guys number is either

707-259-0029 or 707-258-2804, I cant remember which. I called him bout it just to see what the price was the other day, but I forgot to ask the year. I can take pics if you want me too, its kind of a teal green.

[nemo_wolf]

thats massive long distance to be just calling, if you get a solid number i wont mind to much. i dont know how much ill have to spend until next week. im gonna check out this 95 i just called about today and see about that. its charcoal grey. i think he said it was a DX but im not sure anymore ... im gonna go see it on monday ... untill then just keep yer eyes open.

[Melt]

Aight, I will go check what the number is today, the guy lives around the corner from me.

Correct number is 707-259-0029, and I think it might be a CX cause its got no rear windshield wiper.

Hey man, I took some pics of it for you earlier

my rental car reassures my stance that american cars suck.

im currently drivin a dodge intrepid. normally i dont dis on american cars, but why is it they feel the need to make driving a car about the same as a boat!? i swear to gawd, i cant handle cars that long or wide unless it comes with a rear mounted motor and a propeller. GRRR
