I got rearended about 2 hours ago .... some women in a gmc truck plowed into the back of me while I was sitting at a stop sign... she had to have been doing atleast 25-30 and she never hit the brakes.... the front of her truck was smashed in bad, and the only damage I have on my car is a dent below the spoiler on the left side and the spoiler is split and ripped in a few places, and my bumper is cracked.... as far as I can tell nothing else was damaged, but I'm going to check it out really closely tommorow in the daylight.... I'm going to go right now and put up pics to it on my website I'm working on and I'll post the address here...

just to give u an idea of how hard she hit me, my stereo and my EQ flew out of my dash...and they were pretty smuggly fit in there.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png :(

That sucks, you get any back pain or anything?

Seppuku 06-04-2002 01:08 AM

man i hate to hear it when people get into acidents its the worst thing. I sure hope not to much was damaged and that you dont get any pain. I still remember when my brother totaled his car and thats why i dont like hearing about wrecks and stuff

Rxtasy 06-04-2002 01:28 AM

my back was hurting a little bit...not bad enough to go to the hospital, but if it hurts too bad tommorow I'm going.... I posted the pics up on my website, Pics of the wreck



the damage isn't all that bad....but it's still WAY more then I would have ever wanted.....

I know that if I got rearended, my back would just be killing me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... Bad enough that I'd get enough $ for a FD. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Well that sucks, but at least it was her fault. I'd check around your wheel wells for creases in the quarted panel. Look on the bright side though, the back half of your car will get a paint job, and you might get some $ for your pain. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I got rearended in my 86 once. I was turning left and at a dead stop when a chick smacked me doing about 25 mph. I had just let off the brake and was beginning to let off on the clutch so when she hit I was pushed into the parking lot. Man I was pissed and by the feel of the impact I thought there was going to be fucked up damage. When I got out and looked I was surprised as hell... the rear bumper was still straight and there was only some black marks left from her bumper. He bumper was fucked, I think she was driving a dodge omni or some **** (looked like a VW rabbit). It was all twisted and fucked up. We didn't contact the police because we were still in high school so she was supposed to pay me the 600 bucks that was estimated to fix it. She paid me 400 over about a years time but thats it. Oh well, it didn't take much to get the black marks off and make it look as good as new.

did you say your tach and lights arent working i may be able to tell you how to fix the tach on the negative side of your trailing coil there will be a nut if it is loose tighten it if it is tight just leave it alone go inside the car and hit the dash a couple times if the truck that hit you didnt make it work well good luck

phinsup 06-04-2002 08:55 AM

DAMN it looks like you got hit pretty hard, glad you didn't get hurt.

Rxtasy 06-04-2002 05:04 PM

I went out and looked over the car pretty good, the only damage that was done was the damage in the pictures... but as far as the insurance company is concerned a few of my other problems are now caused by the wreck also... like my differential mount that was out is now cuz of that, and maybe a few other things i might try to pull off...we'll see how it goes

Rxtasy 06-07-2002 02:50 PM

well, I called her insurance company to get my claim rolling and guess what... the stupid ****ing B**** didn't have insurance on 6/3/02... she reluctantly renewed her insurance on 6/4 though.... how nice of her....

ya know, owning an Rx7 can be so hard at times, but it's always been worth it....

phinsup 06-07-2002 02:52 PM

If you have full coverage your insurance company will fix the car and then go after the bitch. One way or the other she is going to have to pay.

Rxtasy 06-07-2002 03:02 PM

just liability :( it's my father's policy, he's gonna check to see if he has uninsured motorist.... if he does my car will be fixed.... either way though someone is going after the bitch, whether it be the insurance company or me....

What's funny is that the state will make money off of her from fines for getting into an accident with no insurance, but they could probably care less if you get anything.

Rxtasy 06-07-2002 03:09 PM

yeah, the system is great isn't it....

isn't there something about by the people, for the people? I know i heard that somewhere.... hmmmm

phinsup 06-07-2002 03:24 PM

It's a fucked deal I had a guy hit me with a trailer hitch and drove off, I ended up footing the whole fuggin bill cause the guy drove off.

As long as the government gets money they're happy. They don't care if you get screwed. I know someone who once had a car stolen with her pocketbook in the car. When the people tried to use her checks and credit cards to have things sent to THEIR residence the police didn't seem to care at all.

Rotorboy317 06-08-2002 12:07 AM

That sucks dude.

I was rear ended in my first rex, just as I was starting to get used to it.

I cant believe she hit you at 25-30 mph and thats all that happened*. I hope you can get her to pay, and that the mystery-problem gremlins dont attack en masse. I'll keep ya in my prayers.



*My car has a gaping hole in the right rear corner, I can stick my arm in up to my elbow. Right under the hatch glass, behind the gas tank. If thats 25-30, in a GMC truck, I must've been hit at 35+. BTW I got tagged by a late model Dodge Ram. He was moving, I wasnt. I'll have to post some pics soon, I've got the camera and software, I'm just real lazy.



Didnt mean to turn the post into a whiny poor-me thing, sorry. just ignore it.

later dude, and good luck with the repairs!

Insurance is such a F*&king RIP. They charge up the ass and then are able to walk away from crap like this that happens. I put full coverage on my cars, it wasn't that much more than just libility.... But still a rip off none the less.



Here in Oregon if someone doesn't have insurance, and get caught they lose their license for a year. You might check on that. So the bitch wouldn't have to pay for your car, unless you take her to court. But at least she could lose her license for a year.



Better yet, take her to court and have them make her sell the PIECE of Crap GMC and fix your RX7.
