I just got a 2010 four door hatchback, and I live in Ventura, too. I'd better watch my back! Hope everything works out.

Well that's one less driver you need to worry about

bronzebullet232 Sorry to hear what has happened, glad you were able to walk out of that.

Maybe some positive news can cheer you up? You could get a new car! :) Even the 4dr LB version :shock: .... i tried

That sucks. I hate women drivers that can't drive. Always getting into the lane at the wrong moment. Causing traffic. Cant parallel park.

Well get all the $ you can, and get yourself a used C-class.

Then I slid forward and hit the truck in front of me and destroyed the front of my car. FML.

Anyway, this is the reason why anyone without a Y chromosone shouldn't have a license.

I'm waiting to figure out all the insurance stuff but I made an excel sheet with all the parts I bought and my bike and stuff. I'm gonna get it all reimbursed hopefully.

I'm most likely going to buy a 2010 BLACK 3dr Lift back. I saw the interior is changed a bit. Do they still have the auxillary jack?

Ill post pics when i get home.
Here are the pics of my destroyed pride and joy(s). Sway bars, TRD Exhaust, DF210 Springs, and wheels. All that stuff is gonna get replaced on my new car. Suprisingly, as bad as it looks, our eggs hold up in an accident. My egg is now an omelette. When the small brain hit me, all the yolk came out. lol. Thanks for all the support guys. and gals...

The problem is not the lack of a Y chromosome. The problem is that you were hit by a minivan driver. Male or female, they are notorious for being horrible drivers and causing numerous issues!

So please don't make statement regarding the fairer sex being horrible drivers. I am actually quite a good driver, and I am female.

I have to agree, if you have a minivan you are probably a bad driver, and probably not paying any attention, I think when you go to a dealer and ask to test drive a minivan they should take you license in the back and cut it up.

I fully agree with you, it's not the chromosomes that are the main cause here, it's the reduced number of brain cells... But I'd give him a break... I'd be pissed too if I were in his shoes...

The thing that makes me angry, is that guys are always pinned as being terrible drivers. Girls get into accidents too. Not more, not less. I hate insurance.

What about the bike? What are you going to get to replace that? Did you need to come up with receipts to prove what you paid for it? Ditto shades.
So many rear end accidents you hear about. Wife, son, and daughter have each had at least one in the past five years. (not me) Only one guy had insurance and one of them split then cell phoned his posse to the scene to lie to the cops he wasnt there! Really you have to check your ass EVERY time you come to a stop.

I just found out this dirtbag of a human doesn't have insurance... which is common in California given its proximity to Mexico...

Since her lack of insurance won't cover it, I now will have to send a demand letter to her telling her basically "Where's my money bitch?". lol. Then if she refuses to pay for it, I'll send my goons to break her kneecaps (aka take her to small claims, and take her money in front of a judge) So to summarize this I have a lot of shit to deal with. I have uninsured motorist, so my car is covered. But the bike is gonna be a hassle.

Actually, your insurance company should take care of all the damage/bike, then they will have to go after the other driver in court. Unless you don't have uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage. Then you're screwed.

Right thats what happened to us in like four accidents. Actually when the other guy HAD insurance (one in five times) WE had to pay $4000 for the body shop and then they reimbursed us. Took months. You pay and get reimbursed OR wait months for them to pay for the work to get done.
They say 50% of everybody living in and near Philly DOESNT have insurance. Uninsured/underinsured motorist is the most important part of your insurance bill.
