R.I.P. G35 ....... maybe....

I have no words right now to explain what I'm going through but all I can say is it was a drunk driver with no license and no insurance, hit my parked car and kept going, if it wasn't for the whole neighborhood being outside and witnessing it he may have gotten away. But my neighbor followed him and brought him back right when the 1 time showed up.... and yes those were my new to me wheels i had just bought....this is so t3h gh3y :eek4greddy:

I hope it wasn't an Aristo... Haha. Jk.

But daaaamn. Sorry to hear about your loss bro. Hopefully it isn't a toal loss and you get it back up and runnin'.

awwww shit, so sorry to see dat mayng... hope everything works out bruh... damn!

oh man:sad:  I feel ya...hurts me just looking at the pics man.  Very sorry.  Hopefully they have insurance and covers everything.Dont give up thou man.  Just come back harder .

Goddamn that sucks! I saw the first few pics and thought "doesnt look so bad" then bam! i saw the rear wheel... Why is the front passenger side wheel sticking out?
 
Surely your insurance company can sort it all out though? In australia it doesnt matter if they dont have insurance, your company will cover it...

[quote=SikNLow]a drunk driver with no license and no insurance[/quote]
 
Damn bro that sucks........... hang in there

Man, I'm sorry that happened. I see you coming back bigger and better!

sorry about this!.. looks like the guys brushed his drivers side and brushed it badly!...

Diablo meng...how things work out..

Oh damn...ouch.  At least they snagged the dude.  That's super eff'd.  I hope your insurance or court or something can do something about it.  I always get that coverage...the no or under insured driver crap...just for that reason.  But we have the weird no-fault insurance garbage which makes it even more odd.

Damn that sucks!

Dumb drunk!?!? Like //935GS400 said, don't give up just come back harder. You did it once and you can do it again.

ouch. 

that sucks.

hopefully your insurance covers it all. It hurts to see such a beautiful car like this.

Damn bro that sucks right when you mounted the wheels...its real good your neighbors were outside and 1 was cool enough to actually follow the jerk and bring him back they better throw the book at his ass...keep us posted on the outcome...

damn, and those were the new wheels you brought from hoebag right?

Pfft, that'll buff right out. LoL, jk.

It's sad to see that one of the nicest G35s I've seen is down for the count. Do you think it can be fixed? If not, your going with an F50 right?

if it were me, man i would've let loose on his ass then asked questions. pancakes can vouch for that. :signdammit: But like everyone else is saying, it sucks and all but you gonna get a new one and rims are rims just like cars are cars. it couldve been worst and someone really couldve gotten hurt. The car look like it aint totaled and the rear suspension needs work and just a few scratches and front fender. Just let us know as time goes along.

Don't you have full coverage? Like comprehensive coverage? Everything should be covered if you have receipts for the wheels and suspension. You should only have to pay your deductible. If you don't and you have UMPD....well...I don't think $3500 is going to cover that....

I thought the same thing until I saw the back wheel! :pat:  That's the worst pic!!!
Sorry to hear that and can only imagine how you feel! Keep your head up and be strong and remember that everything happens for a reason and everything will get worked out but you have to be pateinet cause its gonna take some time......

thanks everybody for the words of encouragement and the sympathies. So here's the lowdown after taking the car to a shop and really getting a closer look at the damage.

[IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/implicitautosports/P2090078.jpg[/IMG]
 
The car was hit in the quarter panel/bumper/rear wheel. This caused a chain reaction, that had more to do with the wheel being pushed.
 
1. The quarter panel and rear bumper were damaged and shifted causing the trunk to not really warp but to shift as well and be misaligned in gapping and mounting (holes are stretched where it mounts).
 
2. When the rear wheel was pushed (breaking the axle and ripping...yes ripping... the lower control arm and mount from the frame) the quarter panel and the rear door were pushed forward.
 
3. This caused the front door to push forward.
 
4. This caused the driver side fender to push forward and upward a bit.
 
5. This in turn had the effect of pushing the driverside headlight and the front bumper and ruining the gapping and placement of thesefrom the original mounting holes since they are now stretched too.
 
6. It also had the nasty effect of pushing the hood over towards the right.
 
7. This caused the passenger side fender to follow suit with the rest of the body of the car and get misaligned and warping the mounting holes
 
8. The Airbags on the driver side are either damaged or just not lifting properly due to warped parts.
 
9. The rear driver side wheel is damaged.
 
10. My transmission may need to be replaced due to the fact that my car was parked and slammed forward.
 
Because of the damage to the subframe/frame and all the damage to the body (including the warpage of the mounting holes) the shop has deemed it, and will submit to my insurance, that it is a total loss. It would literally cost more to fix the car to it's original form than to total it and everyone cut their losses. The worst part is, to reiterate, [COLOR=red][B][U]THE GUY HAD NO INSURANCE AND NO LICENSE AND WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO BOOT!!!! [/U][/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#ffffff]He had no photo ID and was arrested, but let go in the morning, since he did come back with my neighbor it showed a willingness to claim responsibility so no charges for felony hit and run can be filed by the police. On top of that they cannot charge him with DUI since the police officer said he wasn't caught in possesion of the vehicle and came back riding in my neighbor's car. This means he can always say in court that he drank when he got home since he was nervous and wanted to come back and that's when my neighbor showed up and took him. He would be let go with the case dismissed. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ffffff][/COLOR] 
[COLOR=#ffffff]I have full coverage including Uninsured Motorist coverage. My deductible is $250 and the insurance will not be covering my wheels or suspension since they are aftermarket parts and couldn't be added to the policy since the cost of both exceeded their limit for aftermarket accessories of $1000.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ffffff][/COLOR] 
[COLOR=#ffffff]To those of you who may be wondering what the reason was for me not going to the SD meet was, well I had just received the wheels from HoeBag (thanks man) and my mufflers from Robert (thanks to you too) and was ready to take it to get the fenders worked to make the car fit the wheels and have my dream of wheel edge kissing fenders, and dual exhaust. Plus I had bought some replacement OEM seats that were all power and rear headrests so I could redo my entire interior to have it flow better with the black and ivory theme. These are all dreams that are lost in time now and will never come to be. the wheel is repairable since the face and the rear section of the barrel are undamaged and well the air suspension is bolt on and salvagable too, so the air suspension will be replaced to complete working condition and sold. My entire audio/video system has been removed as well as all my Garson/D.A.D accessories. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ffffff][/COLOR] 
[COLOR=#ffffff]So what will I come back with next you may ask? [B][SIZE=3].....[/SIZE][/B][B][SIZE=3]TO BE CONTINUED, because I will come back ...... :fo_shizzle:[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR]

Damn, thats a shocking chain of events from just being hit in the rear, but obviously he hit pretty hard...
 
Good to hear you are keeping upbeat about it though. Damn thats bad news...
 
 
So if you are keeping all the parts, does this mean you are coming back with another G35?

[QUOTE=SikNLow;80352][B][SIZE=3]TO BE CONTINUED, because I will come back ...... :fo_shizzle:[/SIZE][/B][/QUOTE]

Yeah actually my street is known as a residential main street since it is wide enough for two way traffic and this gives people the incentive to go over the speed limit of 25mph and usual speed here is 45+, we've seen people doing about 75+ here.
 
On the question of the coming back with a G35....The future doesn't hold a G35 in it for me, I can't see myself trying to replace it with another it would hurt to much.

we have 8 cars in the household and the order of time leaving in the morning dictates that i leave the earliest so my vehicle needs to be ableto get out first, which means that of the 3 cars that must be parked outside the G35 (my daily driver by the way) is one of them.

Sucks that you can't press charges on the other driver :(  
 
Good Luck in your next project.

8 cars in the household - you must be 8 asian bro. dam dude blows sick balls for you but im sure your insurance will cover most of it.

Did the owner of the car have insurance? You should go after them. I think they are responsible, because they willingly let an unlicensed driver drive the car. If they have insurance, their insurance should cover it.  Even if it is a total loss, you may be able to get the aftermarket parts covered.

the car was not insured unfortunately and my insurance won't cover it :pat:

wow man.. that totally blows :( i hope everything goes in your favor with insurance and dealing with that drunk bastard

damn man!  im a fellow g35er over here... damn that is so fuked up!

well for all you g35 vipstyle hopefuls get ready to get dibs on some parts for your rides!!!!

Dang dude,

I knew you were going to unveil the new wheels some time soon but I was shocked to see the pics. I hope everything will work out for you man. Look forward to seeing the next project!

siknlow,

your insurance will not cover ? or did not fully cover? what happened? Hit and run should cover and no points should be held against you.

Man, that blows. All the time and effort you put into that ride. It was definately one sick ride. I would sue that guy and take everything he had (home, cars, etc..). Anyway good luck on your search for a new ride. Also scavange as much as you can from the ride and (ebay) sell parts, keep the vip parts for your next ride.

time to buy the Yota now dude

I  have been removing whatever can be used towards the new project, I will only say it's going to be sik again....

Man but that sucks that aint no charged against the kid and he gets a clean slate and no jail time. Man its like we cant win here.  The law dont ever wanna take fault on the situation but will hunt down evidense and other means to prove someone guilty for stealing from the grocery store. California is said to be one of the most strict states in america and yet they let stuff fly by. rediculous
good luck man

hahahahaha yeah i feel ya C4 i know what you mean.
 
and Robert no i will not be going F50.... I can't continue being the people's champ in the words of Paul Wall if I have a platform-like ride hahahahaha you'll know before anyone else what I'm getting since you about to rack up some sik sales this month from your already lucrative normal business with the added plus of my newly needed parts for the new project.... let's just leave it at the fact that it will hopefully be inspirational to some, admired by most and then hated by the rest hahahahaahaha

THAT WAS A SICKKKKKKK ride
 
sorry for your loss
 
come back 10 fold

man sorry for the loss.

[QUOTE=SikNLow;80825]let's just leave it at the fact that it will hopefully be inspirational to some, admired by most and then hated by the rest hahahahaahaha[/QUOTE]
Sounds familiar..haha.

holy shit man, the second post you made with that last picture, i stopped breathing

as a fellow g35 owner, that really sucks man.  but look at it this way, maybe i can help out by picking up some of your parts ;).  gl w/ the next project.

sorry but im too lazy to read the whole thread .. but is the car totaled ?? If it is .. sorry to hear that man .. i wanted to see your car in person one of these days .. the new wheels looked sick .. your air suspension still good and for sale :D

everything will be decided soon and we'll talk about parts for sale believe me, but yeah so far the shop has submitted their estimate to my insurance as a total loss, and the insurance went and saw it yesterday.

Suck Robert but hey get that car you told me about and start your new project again. I know it will be sick just like your g35.

you know it just keep the project hush hush....hahahahaha or else :slap:  hahahahaa

damn man, one of my favorite cars here. Sorry man.
Are they gonna let you take off your accesories? do you still have your old wheels?

dang, my favorite g35 sedan period.  at least i saved some pics of the old rims n stuff but cant wait to see the new project

I actually get to keep everything and have all my old stuff like the Estatus wheels, the new project will be enlightening and yet very fitting as a follow up i think just because i know that as a personal matter i have to show myself i can graduate to something higher....:dance: ambiguity is my forte!!!!

how would your rims get bent like that from a side hit.. looks more like you were trying to drift and slid in to the curb, thats why the rim has a dent like that.

your first post and this is what you bring to the table? talk about kicking a man when he is down, and fyi, the hit wasn't from the side, it was from behind on the side, where he connected with the 11" wide wheel and pushed it forward. study the pics a bit more and you might see that there is no basis to your claim...... besides not once has anyone here heard talk from me about being one of those wannabe dOrIfTeRz.... sorry wrong guy... :pat: i'm SikNLow not SikNSidewayz

Are you getting a Protege?:hsughr:

haha jk, really sucks that your car got deemed 'total loss'..that must be frustrating, but hey, if you're already looking forward to a new project, so am I!

hhahahaha thanks firelizard!!! i'm at a cross roads right now on what i'm getting since i have to
a) wait till the insurance makes a decision to finalize the total loss
b) decide and hope the two cars are there when the decision is made

OUCH!!!

Sorry to hear about it!!!!

Thanks, and I hope that once the insurance comes through I'll be able to move on. I'm even staying with my insurance after this since the adjuster seems to be a good guy and isn't really dicking me around. hahahhahaha go figure!

[QUOTE=killerlexus;81975]how would your rims get bent like that from a side hit.. looks more like you were trying to drift and slid in to the curb, thats why the rim has a dent like that.[/QUOTE]

I usually don't like to do this,  but do you have any idea where you are....VSC is not about drifting, if you think we mod our cars and then go out and act stupid with wheels and tires that cost more than the average 240 with an SR swap and some wack knock off kit you don't understand.  if you have spent any time Just observing him here on the forum and seeing the quality of the parts and his approach to styling the car you would understand that he's not the guy to mod his car, go drift and tear  it up and then lie about it publicly.  The man told you what happened to his car. Don't offer opinions about what you think happened. This car was probably the nicest alternative platforms for VIP Styling on this forum.

sick sorry for your loss.....Keep us posted on the new project.

MAN.....I missed this post!!!  I own a bodyshop out here in Austin and yes...I'd say a total loss...sorry to hear about that....  I'm not sure what kind of drifting doofus above was talking about....
 
trying to find the good side of this...at least he took out the car and not a life.

 These pics make me sick to my stomach, Good luck with your insurance and hope that you roll on something WAY better:smiley: .

Thanks guys, I have a feeling I might be getting a lawyer real soon on this deal guys.... It seems that it is now acceptable policy for my insurance adjuster to go and post my business on the web and stating it is due to drifting and not because of what the police report says regardless of witnesses that saw the accident and the police report that was filled out.... now i'm no lawyer but can somebody say LIBEL LAWSUIT???? check out his post which is now saved and hardcopy printed to ensure this is handled properly if it goes to court....
 
[URL]http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=294586[/URL]

A lot of ignorance on that forum. I like how they bring up offset sizing haha. Theres no way the wheel could get pushed that way unless you were drifting backwards. The wheel wouldnt have gotten bent that way either unless you fell on to the curb. File a lawsuit, the adjuster positng on a forum asking advice from people who dont know what theyre talking is just stupid.

lmao my350z idiots crack me up!

man its sucks that the adjuster had to bring it out to the forums like that.

Totally fuxor them for that.  My wife is a legal eagle herself..and yes, that's not kosher for them to do and should have been kept confidential.  "Looks like this guy cant drive, or choose a correct offset for his car."...uhm yah.  Sure buddy..haha.  He's right though...you can't drive from inside your house.

Wow.  If he wants to play that way, then maybe you need to see about getting him fired.  I dunno what it would take--but it might be worth it.  I guess since he work for your insurance co., it can't be too tough to track down his boss.  I doubt too many insurance companies would support that kind of breach of privacy.

What an idiot--thinking that no one would find this.

You're lucky you have witnesses.

yeah that's what i was thinking, if it weren't for witnesses this seems like it would be a really bad situation. luckily one of the witnesses was also a victim of the same guy that night but since he only had minor damamges and no uninsured motorist coverage he settled on the side with the guy but the cops made a note of it. so if this goes tocourt then i can have the police officers subpoenaed as witnesses of that specific event. i figure that me posting it on this forum will be brought up, but there is a big difference bewteen me posting it and the company in charge of my claim breaching my privacy by assuming they can not only post it, but also make the false charge that it was during an illegal act that this occured, when there is a police report to verify my story.

Jesus C.! I can't believe he actually did that!
What a dickwad!
Hope he gets what's coming to him...what kind of adjuster goes on a forum to ask about a client's wheels anyways? geez..

Wow, this situation I thought would be handled by now and you moving on. What insurance company are you with? Remind me not to get coverage with them. Definitely, I would hit them with a lawsuit for breach of privacy. Extremely unprofessional. Good luck, R!

dude.. i would be pissed to all hell if that happened to me (the forum issue). if it were me i would of tracked him down and ruined his life. but i would be more pleased with embarssing him and his company and state all the facts to make them all feel retarded. i say you get a lawsuit going.

update?

damn!!! i drive a G also and seeing these pics...ughhh. sad..

No updates yet really except for a possible pending suit if I choose to pursue it, and as for the car they are issuing a check for their estimated repairs, and then the shop is either going to accept or reject it, at this point I just want closure and to move on. friday will be 3 weeks with no car and no rental thanks to my cheapskate insurance!!!

wow this sucks.

siknlow, can u tell us which insurance company this is ?

I'd rather not at publicize this at the moment due to impending legalities but just trust me..... it's cool :biggthumpup:

when everything settles down and if that guy doesn't get fired please post his company info up. I would love to talk to his boss. I would also like to drop my insurance if i am infact insured by them, and explain to them why.

Wow sorry to hear about that.  Im in a similiar situation and have been in this situation a few times.  Sucks really bad not having a car and having everyone stop and look at your car and ask wtf happened.  Especially when you have to wait a while to get the JDM parts.  Im sure you will get your next ride looking as good. 
P.s. that whole insurance thing is scaring me.  Im thinking about putting my stock wheels back on until after they give me an estimate.

Wow what a jerk. Definitely calls for some legal action. Goodluck and keep us updated.

thanks guys, i have been very busy trying to get things taken care of and I'm still behind the wheel of my fiance's back up car (94 honda accord) while my 510 is finished up in  the shop.....why does it take so long to get weatherstripping from overseas? hahahahahahaha oh well meanwhile if anyone has a lead on a lockset (ignition, doors, gas cap, and trunk) for a 1972 2 door Datsun 510 complete with keys.... let me know immediately!! Thanks!

FYI, I saw these same pics over at My350Z.com where some insurance agent was inquiring as to whether or not you were putting together a BS story so you could collect as he believed the accident was your fault.
