well thursday night was the demise of my little hatch with only 69,089 miles on the clock

i was hit by a ford econoline panel van and my car was totalled while turning left at an intersection. the accident was ruled no fault which means he gets nothing and i get nothing and neither of us will be fined or have any points added to our licenses

well heres the pics i took that night, i will get more of the kink in the roof and the a-pillar/door gap tomarrow







the impact was so hard it cracked the dashboard inside, put the hood through the windsheild, and crushed the floorpan on the passenger side

i had a sore ankle and a "sprained" wrist which i just found out today is broken, but this has been more of an emotional thing for me than anything. this car was my first car and my life basically, all me and my friends do are work on our cars.

goodbye my friend R.I.P.

 

Damn dude, sorry to hear that... What are you looking for next then?

 

not sure but prolly a 5th gen

 

No, don't leave us for a 5G!

Sorry that happened to your car, I too crashed my car (RX-7) this weekend, but I'm almost done fixing it (new pop-up light, fender, and a little metal banging). At least you are alive, hope the wrist heals OK.

 

thanks man, im pissed about the wrist, it doesnt even feel broken (ive done it B4) and didnt even swell up

well i found a good deal on a hatch w/ a GSR swap and am thinking about it VERY seriously. plus i doubt i can find another 4th gen as nice as mine was

i will be parting this car out, and already have pretty much all the interior in my basement (only thing i still need to pull is my door panels, dash and carpet) man was that a sad project.

 

OOUUCCHH!!!! THat looks like it hurt. What happened? I know you said it was a no fault and you got hit, but...did he run a light? You run a light?

 

It looks like someone ventured out of their turn lane, and that's hard to prove fault either way... so it goes no-fault, right?

 

i was in a part of town im not very familliar with and waws in the left turn lane with my buddy following. there were 2 lanes (including the turning lane) on my side of the intersection and one in the oncoming direction. both of my lanes got the light and i waited a few secound and went thinking the other direction had a delayed light. when i was half way through the guy in the van relized he had a green as well and he punched it w/o looking and hit my car. i spun around and did a 180 on to a sidewalk and he hopped the sidewalk and hit a lightpole and knocked the street light off of it. the van only had a big dent in the bumper from the pole.

 

Sorry to here that.

 

Man that is horrible. I am just glad you are okay. R.I.P. another 4th gen.
