Has anyone ever had bad luck. i mean when someone smacks into your rx7. My luck sucked today. Some woman thought she could run the red left turn light, and ended up getting broadsided by me on the opposite side of traffic. Needless to say, i'm not happy. Looks like my 7 got punched in the face. MOre pictures later. If anyone eles feels like venting, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif here's a thread for ya.

Shitty!

this post is useless without pics

happened augest 1st 2003... one of my reasons grannies need to be tested more often. she said she didn't see me at the RED light. and all my break lights still worked after she hit me.

I'll have pics in the morning. trust me

SUCKS! sorry to hear about the smashed rides!



Best of luck on a speedy recovery though.

I have som pics of a wrecked FC up in the Columbia SC area from April of this year, NASTY

As you can see my baby took it right in the face. Lucky me i was just starting to accelerate when the woman came out of no-where. The damage could have been alot worse. The nose of the car looks as though its been bent to the right by about 2 or so inches, which makes me believe a bit of the frame was damaged. But the damage didn't touch the radiator or anything past it, so the engine is ok. Drivability wise, the tires have full motion left or right. The car can still drive straight. Air bags did not deploy, the impact wasn't that bad.

Overall i think the car is fixable. But being that rx7's are a more rare car to find, Geico might just say total it. BUt then agaian, its more cosmetic damage then anything eles. I don't know. Either way, Geico considers this as "no fault" on my case. I am going to drill her insurance company though. This woman will pay for the damages. hey, thats life. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Plus, i just gotten done puting a Flodyne (i think thats how its spelled) radiator and Weapon R intake in that day. Made it look clean and nearly stock. Hey, it happens

i can see that thing being totalled. my vert cost like 3k to fix with front end damage and it wasnt nearly that bad.

Sorry to hear about your 7. Hope you get her back on the road soon.

I had a lady pull oout in front of me, stop in my lane, I swerved to miss her, and then she accel right as I was about to get past her, clipped my rear bumper sent me spinning up on a hill. All the body shops said it would be 6k to fix my car right, bc not just the back was damaged the front was too from the curb it hit, as well as two wheels being bent to hell. Needless to say its still messed up and needs paint.

awesome time to state that urethane rocks.



sorry for your loss, thats gonna be a decently pricey repair, the corners of the front have metal that bends ridiculously easy and then will **** up how the body pieces align, mucho labor.



kevin.

Geico is my car insurance company. Since i am at no-fault for this crash, the woman that hit me, her insurance is accomidating me nicely. Her's is Nationwide insurance. Geico gave me the option of doing the claim through nationwide, or through Geico. I desided to start with Nationwide and see where i could go from there. So currently as of now they are going to send an inspector to my house to look at it on Monday or Tuesday. To accomidate my driving needs, they afforded a rental car, at no cost to me at all. Nationwide is going to pay for the rental. A 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix (sporty edition, i might add). So i thought that was cool.

Well, guys, we shall see what happens on monday or tuesday. And thanks for the support, the non-support, and the crash stories. I feel as though i'm taking this really well, considering that i really liked this car. But i might have to accept the fact that this might result to a "totaled" situation, and i'll accept a big check $$$$ ( i hope) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

if it does go to the totaled result, what u doin wit it? Buyin it back from insurance? If u do decide to part it out, give me a holla

I was sitting parked at a stoplight, left lane, front of the line. A girl in a hyundai decided that she would go through the left turn lane and cut back across in front of me to run the red light. she came back to the right too soon and ended up getting the front of my drivers door, my drivers side mirror and crumpling the fender from the back. her car caught the gap between my door and fender. I was pretty pissed. she was only 15 and wasn't supposed to be driving after 10pm anyway. it was 12:30am.

the one thing that sucks is part of the frame is bent. its mainly at the nose of the car, as you can see in the picture. But none of the damage even touches or goes past the radiator.

thats what mine looked like

You did all the body work you're self Banzai?

Your accident looks coincidentally similar to my car...sad part is that I wasn't even driving mine when it happened...it was the dealership!!!

Higgi's was the best (worst)

Something about trying to pass a truck.

wow. thats messed up

Damn, hope no one was in the passengers side there

Put my car in a ditch when I had a seizure. As you can see the main frame rails were bent up pretty bad.

I wasnt about to give up though. She needed a paint job but the body was straight again and she ran great.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/gal...1_90_21210.jpg



However, it was all for naught when I had another seizure and hit a telephone pole at about 60. God damn doctors ******* up my meds and telling me I'm fine. I found a blue car with a blown engine for $300 that Im gonna swap my rebuilt engine and tranny from my first baby into.

hey you never told us about that second accident

I had a drunk illegal mexican hit me the day after i got my FC and the day of my prom. They talked about me not drinking and driving but i think it is more of the other motorist on the road. No frame damage but the drivers side shock tower top is buldging a little. He was deported but i got nothing out of it as for insurance because i was not in full covereage yet because i just got the car the day before. ******* ILLEGALS!!!!

That doesn't really look like a 7 anymore. Man, that thing got messed up. I hope the guy in the truck had to pay for damages (unless it was Higgi's fault).

Was Higgi okay in the black car? or did he suffer some sort of injury?

Sorry for the **** quality, they were taken with my cell. I was at wal mart before I drove home and bought some sunglasses, thinking: I don't want sun glare to be the reason I wreck my car. And I also passed the camera department, thinking I should also get a disposable like they say in Allstate commercials... Sure enough, I came over that hill to a row of panic stopped cars...



'tis not the first time, either. The night before we got rearended (And nearly broke my neck and impaled by a steel beam) I dreamt about it...



I should start listening to myself more...

My brother died in this first gen I helped pick out for him 10 years ago this month. Multiple traumatic injuries. Good thing there was no passenger as you can see. He was trying to pass a big rig on a two-lane highway. He hit a brand new BMW 5 series. Driver of that car suffered multiple compound fractures but survived. CHP estimated the collision at about 140 mph. He was 22 at the time.

My buddies car who lost it in a long sweeper and hit a light pole @ 50-60mph. He walked away.



[attachment=39131:attachment]



I've totaled two myself, an 81 1st gen and a pristine 88 TII. Don't have any pics of those though.

I'm sorry about your brother, man...my boyfriend watched his brother get hit and killed by a car when he was young...

I agree, it is sad.



I havent been around for a while but to try to cheer up this thread a little I have some pics of the blue car up and running with a bunch of work. Somehow the same engine I built and ported 2 years ago survived both wrecks.

Yeah, i was ok.

I'm determined not to wreck my new FC...I stay at least 10 car lengths behind people unless it isn't possibly to do so...I make sure any blind corners or hills I have my foot hovering over the brake, and I fixed a few of my imperfect techniques in the mountains yesterday. So...yeah... I'll kill a puppy if this one gets wrecked.
