Yo everyone, so I have a sad story to tell. I was driving to a buddies house yesterday afternoon, doing the speed limit (imagine that), and going straight through a green light. Coming from the other direction was another car turning left. his view was blocked by a truck turning left from my direction, he assumed the path was clear, jumped out into the intersection, and then smash... we both swerved, i smashed right into his front quarter panel, he spun and ran into a snowbank, ended up tapping a light post. after all was said and done, he was ok, and i got a nasty cut on the top of my head from the roof/visor that required stitchesand some wicked nose/lip/mouth damage from the airbag. so yeah, as if that wasn't bad enough, take a look at my car. At least the other guy was 100% at fault... The insurance dude figured we could fix it, but i took some pics and took it to my uncle's autobody shop and we used a program he has for totalling up damage and cost estimates. we came up with about 12k in damages. Needless to say, insurance company is probably gonna call it a total loss. B5 S4, here I come (that is considering they buck up and compensate me for missed work and school time, stress and suffering and those minor injuries.
Anyways, here's the pics;



I've seen way too many crashed a4 threads lately, and I hate to be another... but such is life.

 

Iam sorry to here that bro. Atleast its not your fault and migh be getting a s4!!!! i am just glad you areok.keep us posted

 

man that sux, glad to hear ur ok

 

oh **** i think i just cried thinking if that was mine. that sucks man sorry

 

same exact accident situation happen to my mom, she was in an accord and got very hurt... Broken neck and permanent brain damage... glad your ok

 

that suck, im glad your ok.

 

the insurance dude said you could fix it? well with the right amount of money not problem but with both airbags poped, the insurance dude must have been tripping on something. personally, i'd let them total it, buy it back from them, part it out and thn buy an s4. sry for your lose man. no matter how good of a driver anyone can be, accidents can't be avoided sometimes. i hope the other guy is super sorry that this happened. make sure you take your guage that's installed in the vent if you plan on letting insurance keep the car. sry for your lose though, i hope better things happen this.

 

Sorry to hear about it, but like everyone said, thankfully the car is the only thing that died and you got out with only a few superficial injuries. At least you were lucky enough to be hit by someone with insurance. Seems like quite a few people I know personally that have been in accidents the last year or so, have been hit by people with no coverage and chances are, they're completely out of luck. Keeping fingers crossed to see a post from you soon showing off your S4 though

 

yeah man, in british columbia, you cant drive without insurance, its not a private company, its a wing of the government...sort of... yeah, im not gonna buy it back and part it out. used cars are ridiculously expensive in my neck of woods, i bought mine for 12,500 and that was a good deal. most are around 13500 for the same year. since icbc (the insurance company) gives you what your car is worth, and i dont think i can get 13 g's from parting it out, ima just let them have it and import an s4 from the states for hopefully about what im getting for mine.
and fastera4thanurs, that ******* sucks, im sorry to hear that. these types of accidents are really sketchy... head on, blind, cant see it coming. this was the exact same situation when i wrote off my 86 lude a couple years ago. thankfully i wasnt going very fast at all when the dude pulled out in front of me and again nobody got hurt.

 

man that sux...looks like ti is time for a new car

your car is totalled, that is not a salvageable vehicle, that thing is going straight to a wrecking yard

the damage will cost more than what the car is worth for sure

hope you heal up alright[&o]
