My Car Is Wrecked!

[drell42]

Well this morning at about 6:45 I am awoken by a loud crash and my 2 way alarm going off. I run outside in my boxers to see that my car has been hit. Some guy in an escalade had just hit my car hard!!! Once he saw me he left the scene. F&%^$R!!!

I have an appointment with ICBC this morning so we will se how this goes.

Luckily I saw the Vehicle and I have parts of it that came off at the scene!

Here are a couple pix

time for a custom paint job!!

[ChinoCharles]

Holy shit! That SUCKSSSSS! I hope you nail that bastard.

Having said that, I second riceboy. :thumbup:

[Lowfront]

wow thats horrible, good luck man

[nsmitchell]

I hope they catch that MF and let you piss on him!

[redglare45]

Ouch!........that sucks. Yeah, nail him for leaving the scene.... must have been on the bottle :drinking: Hope everything turns out good for you.

this is just more ammo for my anti-SUV movement. people that drive SUVs basically can't DRIVE them...they just buy it to compensate for everything else that is lacking their lives (shitty job, messed up relationships, small genitalia, etc). i'm not saying people shouldnt buy big vehicles. i have a family and own a minivan. but i'm tired of seeing 5'1" single females driving 3 tons of machinery down the road when they can barely see over the hood, and this is all in the name of being "cool." i sincerely hope you got the plate number and nail this bastard. but dont expect too much...this guy drives an escalade, so he probably has no money and is living strictly off credit and paycheck-to-paycheck. shit, he's probably 40 and still lives with his parents. my condolences to your yaris...

THAT SUCKS!
Hope they catch the guy/girl and nail their butts to the wall!
Hope you have good insurance.

Holy crap! It looks like he spun your car around at least 90 degrees? What a drunken dickhead.

I would assume the cops asked body shops in the area to let them know if an Escalade with front end damage comes in. Then they can just match up the pieces and proceed to kick his ass.

Agreed, my angry-meter goes off the charts when I see some 19 year old girl driving a YUKON down I-95 doing 95MPH and basically driving it like its some kind of Honda Civic. God, I'm so glad I'm not buried in debt just so I can drive a giant bling-mobile.

[drell42]

Well ive been talking with my insurance company and it seems so far that the car will be replaced. she has only seen the pictures that you have, so i hop all goes well

[hasher22]

faaaak! sorry to hear that dude!!! i feel ya pain i had some guy on the highway bumped into me cuz i was in his blind spot. And he didnt even indicate.

Hope you catch the asshole that did it, you might know it was a blue car since some paint went onto your car?

[drell42]

actually it was tan, that blue is from his tire. i have parts from the car that were at the scene

[foober]

the car still looks driveable. That scratch doesn't look too bad. You should see what hitting a deer will do to a car or truck. Another guy months back said he had a bad accident and the yaris still was driveable. .

Thanks for sharing.

[H8SGAS]

Ahhh man I hope they catch them and at very least you won’t be held responsible for your insurance deductible. I once had a sports car smashed by a lifted Chevy Avalanche at a gas station, backed right onto my hood while I was in the bathroom (roadtrip.) I came out in time to see them fleeing, since I had nothing but a description they got away and I had to pay. On a bright note you managed to really capture the metallic flake in our black paint!

[swng]

So sorry for the car.
Best wishes for a satisfactory solution with ICBC!

[03Z33]

Sorry man! I was involved in a hit and run also this past Saturday... I thought only California drivers are that horrible! I feel your pain!

[captainzerocool]

Make sure you sue him. Don't just let the police handle it. Hell, you may end up with a Escalade too.

[IllusionX]

you can't SUE him in canada.

insurance will cover him for the damages and the SUV driver will be fined or sent to jail. that's it, no more.

[BMGYaris]

i dont think you could sue here either. People hear stories without all the facts. take for example the old infamous macdonalds hot coffee spill here in america. people here "she dropped hot coffee on herself and she sued and got millions of dollars" and run with it. In fact though that particular macdonalds had already recieved over 20 warnings from some federal agency telling them that their coffee was 4 times hotter than the legal limit, when it spilt on here she recieved major third degree burns on some 20% of her body, she had to have skin grafts done and was in the hospital for like a month. Also, the millions was knocked down to something like 300,000 after appeal. Consequently American's think they can just "sue" but i really doubt he could get any extra money out of this one. what for, emotional damages?:iono: .....but anybody know the laws lets hear it, that would be awesome. but i hope they send his ass to jail! f-ing tires taller than half your car...damn

Would you like some cheese w/ your wine?

Seriously all you sound like is just another hater. And i got a definition too :biggrin:


Someone who is enraged by evidence of another's success and as a result has to try to one up the successful person or simply put the successful person down. Hating is much more than just being jealous of the person who has done well. The hater would find much satisfaction in seeing some form of misfortune come to that person.

Haters may also simply find satisfaction in someone else’s misfortune. When a friend falls off a bicycle and lands in the sewer for instance, it is a normal reaction to laugh at the situation. However, a hater will respond slightly differently by laughing at the person in a ridiculing manner.

Haters have a special link to one another and they tend to fuel each others hate by hating in groups (ahem anti-SUV movement *cough*) . It may be a form of stress relief or something entirely different but they do seem to become happy from the escalation (great word right there :tongue: )of hate for a person that arises in these groups.





Also if he had blue on his tire then the tire's are probaly brand new. You should check the local tire dealers and see if any escalades came through there.

Oh forgot... Canada...

[RSboyz]

my car is wrecked too cuz i got hit from behind when i was doing a left turn and the rear wheel and fender looked like it got PUSHED inwards and i dont know how big the damage is and i find it interesting too see the other car which is a van like one of those new GM uplander type, the air bags of both passenger and driver came on. i want to know if theres like a certain speed level that a car is travelling and then hit something then it would come on what i mean is that would the air bag come on if the other driver is driving at city limit 50km/h? or the air bag would on if you hit something from the front of your car? argh getting into a car accident sucks!

[mikeukrainetz]

same shit happened to a woman I work with, overnight drove up the side of her car.... whats up with drivers in BC at night?

[mcdaddy]

ouucchh!!! sorry to hear that.. hope the a&*hole pay what is due to him..

goodluck on the custom paint job!!
