: Got sideswiped last night...
TheGeak 02-22-2006, 08:40 AM on my way to pick up my girl from her job I make a turn onto a 2 lane road and I'm in the right lane. There is a large van in the left lane, he decided he wanted to make the right turn that was comming up and merged into the lane right into the side of my car. I don't think he even felt that he hit me cause he kept right on merging and pushing me into the curb. Ugh, luckily he was insured and the cops cited him for being at fault for the accident. Lets see how insurance goes now! Here are some pics...

Takin' it in for an estimate today, if his insurance is gonna pay for it, i think imma just have the dealer look at it.
::edit::
I just noticed how shady I look in the one picture, haha i rule!
damn...
at least he have insurance
TheGeak 02-22-2006, 08:47 AM Yeah, State Farm....we'll see how hard they fight back....
can i say an euro conversion?
:)
Yup not good..... glad you were ok......
TheGeak 02-22-2006, 09:37 AM Yeah, thankfully I am fine. Poor car, i keep looking out the window at her and feeling sad! But she'll be back to better than new in no time!
domesticdisturbance 02-22-2006, 09:46 AM too bad. looks like your gonna need alot of new parts. z3 fenders, bodykit, halo lights, and rims.
dgualtie 02-22-2006, 09:51 AM glad to hear you are ok, and that insurance should cover her and have her looking beautiful again
TheGeak 02-22-2006, 10:11 AM yeah, i wanna see if since my headlight is broken if i can get the mach HID's put on at the dealer hehe
m0nny 02-23-2006, 12:06 AM Damn, he bent your stealie. Its time for after market now.
Bronxflava 02-23-2006, 02:25 PM Totally not cool man...... i guess that'll give you an excuse to get some mods done to the body and new paint...:)...
CrazyMatt 02-23-2006, 02:35 PM Damn that sucks... Glad you are ok!
SkyPilot 02-23-2006, 02:37 PM wow its amazing how dumb ppl are and i would be willing to bet the guy in the van was talking on his cell phone, but good luck man hope it works out
loudfocus01 02-23-2006, 02:57 PM That sucks big time.....thank goodness you didnt have your euro svt rims on at the time. I really don't like inconsiderate people. Good luck with getting it fixed.
SVTmonkey 02-23-2006, 03:07 PM Ouch, that looks ugly, this is the reason I keep my hand on the horn when I'm in somebodies blind spot...especially big vans!
loudfocus01 02-23-2006, 03:10 PM I do that same thing SVTmonkey except i do it when I pass semi trucks. I drive on Interstate-70 more than any other road, so I've had my fair share of semi trucks trying to get over in my lane while im passing them. I keep my eye on their blinkers to make sure they aren't gunna run me off the road.
bwojdyla 02-23-2006, 03:27 PM That's going to be really expensive. The rear quarter is retarded expensive to repair. At least the rear quarter glass didn't break, that's $430 with labor. how do I know? Detroit + kids + pellet gun = Ben's broken window.
Yeah, I'd still be pissed if I were you.
PURO LATINO 02-23-2006, 03:34 PM I don't know about you, but I would have been insanely pissed off that someone did that to my ride , I hope you went jackie chan on his a$$, or at least verbally bitched him out!!!
from the damage, you got some dents and broken light at the front, looks like you could've noticed the van slipping in your lane in front and put on some brakes.
this is the problem with american drivers, they think they always have "right of way" and don't pay attention to whats in front of you.
in some other countries you definitely would be at fault.
