I know a lot of people vent their anger/frustration on this forum, and I know some people dont like it when people do that, but im gonna do it anyway

I have been wanting a G35 coupe for over a year now. Im in college (you can read that as: 'broke') and my wonderful parents said they were gonna save up and get me one for an early graduation gift...... after it was finally time, the dealer found me one like I wanted, I waited for it to come in, waited for them to put on the Aero package, and got my brand new '06 6MT Lakeshore/Stone fully loaded with everything except rear active steer THIS PAST THURSDAY........

....... monday afternoon, i got out of bio lab early, so i went to show my buddy who loves G's my new car...... i go to take him for a ride and in his parking lot, a guy in an old jetta backs slam the F into me, i swerved but couldnt get away, he said he missed the brake pedal

hit me in the right rear side, dented up and scratched the fender pretty bad as well as the part of the rear bumper that wraps around on the side.... and scratched the siht outta my wheel

i was teary-eyed on the phone with my parents

BUT: thank goodness for:
1)everyone's ok
2)the guy stopped and completely admitted he was at fault to the popo
3)it wasnt my fault
4)that i have you cool fellas (and girls) that can show some sympathy

i'll post the pics later, once i get them off my friend's camera


thanks for listening guys

 

Dang man sorry to hear that bro! glad everyone's ok though! The G will be fine!

 

sorry man. look on the brightside, now you have an excuse to get aftermarket parts.

 

Sorry to hear that man. Unfortunately, some people do not know how to drive. Like someone said above, the G will be fine. That's what insurance is for after all. Post pics when you can.

 

Man that sucks, wish you and your G the best!

 

damn that sucks.

 

"Popo" will always be a funny word.

 

That sucks buddy, hope it gets fixed ok and you enjoy it for years to come.

 

thanks for the words of encouragement guys!!

just curious, what's that 19 incher gonna cost his insurance company? just for the wheel itself?

(pics will come ASAP, just gotta get up with my friend)

 

Sorry to hear that, Rob.....They'll fix her up good as new tho...

My guess would be $1k for the wheel.....
G/L with repairs and getting her back asap..

my apologies everyone, sorry for the neglect of this thread but as a college student my life is hectic and i just havent had time

as for the status, the guys insurance appraised it at $2,109 for fixing bumper, quarter panel, and REPLACING the wheel

the wheel has some pretty good scratches and one spot on the outer edge that looks like curb rash (but from accident)

I will be taking it in on monday to have it fixed; and the body shop said i can have the old wheel.... and now im saying that one of you can have it.... just PM me with an offer or whatever

anyway the pics i promised a long time ago are attached

 

ouch! that really sucks! mine was damaged a month after it left the dealership. but yes, the G will be fine. once it's repaired you'll forget it ever happened.

 

good thing you and everyone else are ok.

 

glad you ok man, but just make sure that whoever fixes it doesnt just slap some bondo on it, and repaint... I hate it when shops try to be cheap to pocket money...

 

Damn that really sucks but on the positive no one was hurt and the damage really isnt that bad...so just be postive..Oh and congrats on the new car...
