Im thinking of throwing in the towel on my 240 supermade project

As of 7:30pm last night, my car is in undrivable state (on photos below). To make the long story short, She did not yeild on to oncoming traffic. Turned left where i was going straight and ending up T-boning (lol) a 16yr old, with only a provisionary permit (not on the scene) and not driving with someone over 25+ with a DL. Here's the wreckage.

Re: Im thinking of throwing in the towel on my 240 supermade project

thanks guys, since its only been a day since it happened im not sure whether im at fault or she is. Im sure i will be in favor since she did not yeild onto oncoming traffic. What sucks was the cop seemed like he was in favor to the girl (let her not citing two things: no 25+ above driver and no license) so im not too sure how the cop made the accident statement. if everything goes bad im going to hire a lawyer and hopefully will pay for all my expenses that will be needed.

Mike,

Just take your time, you know my help is standing for you. I might even upgrade my gear since my batteries are dying on me and i want a L series lens. lol!

SiMz

I would get the car but its too far....im not far on my options yet. ill keep that offer in mind.

I saw the pics on Zilvia, I was curious as to what happened.

You'll be in the right, underage? Un-licensed? Not following the law of an unprotected left? SHE LOSES.

Prepare to get like. 1200 LOL. Your car isn't worth shit, we all know S13s aren't, part it out, sell some stuff off, do what you have to. Sorry for your loss, if you can, get injured.

Damn I always hate seeing this a nice clean car smashed :buck2: I thought it was looking nice so I definitely know youll sell everything quickly I too think you should come out ahead in court and what Caoboy said VIPstyle SUV is the only way to go if you must have an SUV.

Really sucks to have an investment ruined like that....


However, it wouldn't be a bad time to get a Subaru Wagon eh?

^^^ especially a car that is so popular and so hard to find in good condition. That's like wrecking a Chevelle 454SS and it gets totaled.
