I won't hear the final verdict until next week when they come in. Back to car hunting again..... | | | 06-19-2010, 10:42 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | Also the 3rd pic the car beside it, not the oldsmobile, is the one I hit. | | | 06-20-2010, 12:07 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | I am sorry to hear about your loss. The main thing is that no one was hurt. The car is replaceable. Keep your head up! __________________ | | | 06-20-2010, 03:38 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 | totaled. Frame looked tweaked in the front, just BARELY Either way, without frame damage, it would still be totaled. __________________ -Jeff | | | 06-20-2010, 08:22 AM | #7 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | Just looking at it now, I had just gotten through the loss of my brother 2 months ago from a motorcycle accident. It's ironic how we got into the same situation, except I'm still here and I went half the speed limit he did. I sat down when we had gotten to my girlfriend's house and I started crying thinking about him. At that moment, the car didn't matter. On top of it all, he had helped me buy it since I was head over heels when I first looked at it last year and it was my first car stick. Eventually I had payed him back all the money. Oh well, I had to get rid of that car eventually, but not like this though. | | | 06-20-2010, 10:58 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 | Dude sorry about your brother and your car. Glad everyone is ok. Best, John Smith | | | 06-20-2010, 03:58 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Florida - Tampa Posts: 92 | Sorry to hear about the car - evermore so about your brother. Great everyone involved is OK. Cheers, JB | | | 06-20-2010, 06:14 PM | #10 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | Thanks guys. I appreciate your concern. I will let you all know what the final verdict is when the inspector from Allstate (since that is my insurance) lets me know if the car is worth fixing or not. My brother was just about to be 23 this year and that night he got into the accident he was going to get his private pilot's license the next day. He was attending Embry Riddle since my mom's boyfriend recommended to him since his daughter went there. Sad how he was in the Marines for 4 years and did 3 tours in Iraq and physically he made it out fine, but gets killed when he comes back home from his last tour a year later. | | | 06-20-2010, 06:35 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Burlington, NJ Posts: 560 | Motorcycles are dangerous...... Sorry to hear about your brother and your car. You should never ever run red or yellow lights because of instances like this. Unfortunately you had to learn this way. At least no one was injured in your collision and I'm sure you'll find your next vehicle soon! Good luck on the hunt. __________________ 1996 318ti - 2000 Z3 2.3 - 2012 MINI Cooper Hatchback | | | 06-20-2010, 06:45 PM | #12 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | Thing is I was always careful when I'm driving, especially if I have a passenger with me. I don't know what got to me that night, but all I know is that I am never pulling a stunt like that ever again. I had wanted a motorcycle before the incident with my brother since he had been wanting me to get my motorcycle endorsement so he can teach me. With all of that happening, I am never considering getting a bike at all. From what his room mate told me, he had went out without a helmet and it is very odd because he always had a helmet on before he rides out. He went out to a bar with some "friends" and those geniuses let him ride off drunk. And I guess he fell asleep and sped up so much he hit a lady who was apparently coming out of some gas station or something. He was just a few blocks away from coming home. | | | 06-20-2010, 07:38 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Lancaster PA Posts: 274 | Be glad of two things, you are ok, and you did not hurt anyone else. Car accidents can literally change your life from good to torture in a heart beat. Cars can be replaced, people can not. As to the car, ahhh, it will buff right out! | | | 06-20-2010, 08:07 PM | #14 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | This is what I did to the lady's car that I hit. As you can see, not alot of damage compared to mine. | | | 06-21-2010, 08:43 PM | #15 | Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Kissimmee, FL Posts: 71 | Yup, just got the word.
