My Car Is Wrecked! - Toyota Yaris Forums

drell42 · 11-01-2006, 02:45 PM

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

I knew I should have parked in the neighbours driveway last night

ChinoCharles · 11-01-2006, 02:50 PM

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

Having said that, I second riceboy.

wow thats horrible, good luck man

nsmitchell · 11-01-2006, 03:09 PM

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

redglare45 · 11-01-2006, 03:10 PM

Ouch!........that sucks. Yeah, nail him for leaving the scene.... must have been on the bottle

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...

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 · 11-01-2006, 04:31 PM

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 · 11-01-2006, 04:40 PM

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 · 11-01-2006, 05:06 PM

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

foober · 11-01-2006, 05:06 PM

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 · 11-01-2006, 05:34 PM

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 · 11-01-2006, 07:51 PM

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

03Z33 · 11-01-2006, 11:12 PM

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 · 11-06-2006, 09:47 PM

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