Well guys,
I was waiting until I got some great pictures to post up, but sadly my G was hit the other day. Luckily it was completely the other drivers fault and it looks like she's not totaled despite having 125000 miles and the side airbag going off. Bent my wheel so not sure what insurance is gonna do about that. Here's some pics from the accident. Let me know if you have any advice on getting the most out of her insurance..

I know your car was wrecked but why did the wrecker driver have to tear off your rear splash guard?

 

Holy crap, hope you are ok and not injured. Document, document, document everything.

 

Yikes! Sorry to hear, hope you're alright.

 

Sorry to see this man, everyone OK?

 

He didn't tear it off. We took it off and hung it so it didn't hit the wood planks that were helping keep my exhaust from being ripped off. The guard is still fine!

 

I appreciate the thought! Both the older woman who hit me and myself walked away completely unharmed. I feel like our cars are definitely tanks. She drove a 2010 Infiniti FX

 

Damn man, glad your ok car was looking good too. What a shame. Parting anything out?

 

I think that car is totaled I think you should by it back from your ins co and have a body shop repair it glad that your o.k

 

This. Write everything down since its fresh in your head. Time, circumstances, who did what and when, and get contact info for witnesses if possible...better safe than sorry.

On the bright side...you can do a photo shoot on the other side of the car and no one will ever know that its hit!

 

Nope no parting out. The whole thing is getting fixed thanks to her insurance co!

 

Are you sure this is getting fixed? If it is you're damn lucky. This is definitely written off

 

What makes you say that? My mechanic was sure it wasn't, but her insurance adjuster hasn't called me yet so it's still up in the air

 

Judging from your headlights it's an 03-05. The amount of damage (including the rim) will most likely be more than 80% of the car value (depending in which bodyshop works on your car) I always take my car to the dealership when it comes to insurance bodywork.

I hope it's not written off, car looks ****

 

Yeah it's an 05, and the damage to rim is just a bent lip. I can get a new lip for $150 from VRwheels. I'll update when I find out. Whatever I get after this will look just as great if it ends up totaled!
