Oooh damn, Mr.E... I'm so sorry to hear about it. Can't offer any advice, but damn, sorry.

Re: Got Into A Bad Accident =(
Thanks for the support, guys. The pictures don't even do it justice....when I look at the pics, it's like, "Yeah that's what happened" but whenever I go into the garage to look at the damage in person, my heart sinks completely. =(
I think what really helped me out is the heavy doors. I mean, I'm sure you guys have noticed how god damn heavy the doors are on our Coupes....never knew why until today. I'm really glad that after getting rammed by this lady at freaking 45-50mph, I was able to hop out of the car without a scratch on me. I don't know if the pictures show this, but even the front passenger would have been safe as the whole front passenger seat area looks completely preserved (of course I can't actually CONCLUDE this since I had no front passenger in the car at the time, thank God).
I'll update you guys on when the car is fixed and how much it's all gonna cost. I seriously hope that nothing mechanical has been compromised and that the frame/chassis is still fine, but it's hard to say because the G took a REALLY hard hit. =(

Re: Got Into A Bad Accident =(
hi... i'm reaLLLLLLLLLY sorry to hear about that. i hope u find a GOOD RESPONSIBLE body shop to help u on ur accident. i had nearly the SAME THING happen to me. Left turn, yellow/red light & the woman stopped, so i proceeded then to turn left at a light, & then she gassed it hard ..hit me while i was 3/4 thru the intersection... & i was less than a MILE AWAY from HOME! stinkiness.
altho, i do not have a G35, .. My car is your ancestor's
G20 ... ^_~ so she didn't go AS FAST,but made the same type of damage-lookin to the doors. It must be the bad karma of black cars...
u are fortunate that u could still drive it home, because the PIGS were like "YEAH u can't drive it home, u have to have it towed"... even tho, yes, it was driveable. blah blah blah, then it was at a crappy shop that had my car for OVER 2MONTHS... and yet, still had to take it to another shop to fix the 1st shop's sloppy work
what happened was it was my fault, (no it wasn't, not really tho!!), & her STUPID INTEGRA was totalled(HAR HAR), & mine cost $14k to fix .
anyways, hm, the injury, since u're hit so hard from the side, i remember my internal side where seat belt was HURTING. but that was no biggy, it was about a MONTH LATER when i felt the whiplash in my back hurt like a ****. i would suggest a chiropractor visit just to straighten everything in ur body out
best of luck =\

THAT IS SO TRUE! We came back to his house one saturday night after a nite of drinkin and clubbing so I ended up in the backseat...lot of room for an asian guy in the back...Anyways, my buddy parks it x the street from their house...I've parked their so many times...and so far so good...tire is rubbing the curb i'm like no biggie it'll clear..too buzzed to drive at the time...the next morning...after sobering up...I pulled out of the curb and scratchhhhhhhh...damn a huge 1 inch "noticeable" scratch...oh well...whatcha gonna do? I'm complaining about a rock chip on my hood, a scratch on my rim, and a recent door ding...ding free for 5 months!
anyways, be glad your ok...! the G did it's job and saved your a%^...the g is always replaceable..U are not!
looks like a new door, mirror, bumper, and suspension?

Re: Got Into A Bad Accident =(
Elussive... look into ATX MotorSport in Bergenfield, NJ. Top quality work. You will not be disappointed at all. Man... black G's in NJ are bad luck. 1st there was the black coupe owner who wiped out in a snow storm early this year. Then the guy who's G went up in flames. and now yours.
I'd laugh my *** off if they were all purchased at Park Ave.

Re: Got Into A Bad Accident =(
hey man... dont worry... your car will be fixed in no time..
to make you feel better. this is what happened to me 3 weeks ago http://www.fucy626.com/gaccident.htm
someone rear ended me at 40+mph without braking when i was completely stopped for 1 min already at a light. then he hit me so hard that i flew into incoming traffic and some bmw hit me head to head again...
So dont worry everything will be ok.

"I totally would sue and get myself a m3 with that money. Because if you don't next time when its your fault someone might not be as nice to you as you were to them. Hate it but such is the society we live in. "
And how is that solving the problem? Sounds like it would just perpetuate this multi-billion dollar-a-year industry that is called fraud.

WOW
I hope you get it fixed quickly. It will never be the same G. You will always know where it got hit.
Fix it
Sell It
Buy another G
Did you have any mods..other than the tint?

Re: Got Into A Bad Accident =(
Ouch....thats very paintful to look at, although i think its definately repairable. All that matters is that you made it safely out of the car and were able to drive home afterwards.
