Like my new look :(

[Hot Shot]

Dude you can get out of that ticket easily. Take it to court and plead not guilty. Any judge that finds you guilt of that should have his dog taken out and run over to see how it would feel......

 

[vcinsanity1523]

makes me sad good luck with everything dude if they total it u gunna buy another one?

 

[hectik1]

That really sucks! Good luck with the car.

 

[CHICO2003]

I agree with not pleading guilty.... that's sound advice no matter what!

As far as the accident goes... a tip of the cap to you for not hitting the dog. Cars, as much as we love em, can be replaced... living beings cannot. I'm sure there's a little boy/girl out there who's happy their dog is still around. Hopefully they'll keep it leashed from now on!

 

[whitemp5seattle]

another car on this forum in an accident in the last 2 or 3 weeks...I think that makes 4 or 5 now...that's crazy.

Glad to hear you're ok. I hope the insurance company gives you what you want and the claim is processed smoothly. I would definitely contest the ticket...no harm done in pleading not guilty except for a few spent hours...

 

[wisniaPl]

Ive seen worse cars in body shop we had couple ferraris and corvettes that were almost riped apart and we fixed them....I wonder if insurance will give you equal compensation they alwas try tu sukc asmuch mone as they can

 

[jam_asian85]

[erik84]

Sorry to see this happen. I had two cats chase each other across a 4 lane street the other day at night. First cat got pounded by the car just 20 feet ahead and in the left lane. Second cat kept running, I slammed on my brakes and didn't hear anything. After a second or two I started going, but I am sad to say I felt a bump .

 

[dkswim]

ouch and it hurts more beacuse its silver.

 

[Nokkers3]

Damn seeing the sideskirt laying by the tree like that makes me sad =( Hopefully everything works out for ya at the end.

 

[BadBandar]

Damn i just test drove a 3 just like that a week ago. Sorry about the lost. I hope insurance writes a proper check so you can start over. Is the dog on ur avitar the one that ran unto the road? G/L.

 

[kneedragger241]

So I'm looking at the crash scene and trying to work out what happened (with the aid of some model cars on kitchen table).
The skidmarks show the car going left. The angle of the skidmarks seems to show the tail stepping out to the right. That's a lot of lock up - did you have the DSC turned off?

And then somehow the car flicked 180 degrees once in the median to allow the driver side front to hit the tree.
Did the front dig in and catch when you got into the dirt?

Crazy stuff!
Glad you're okay.

 

[mcopare]

yeah sad to say but it was off. The wheels locked up and the rear shifted around. The right front wheel hit the curb first and did the damage to the rim. Caused the car to rotate faster and whap! Right into the tree. I did the re-enactment for my family the same way...with matchbox cars.

 

[Loose]

Dude. I was reading the thread thinking, this sucks. Then you posted pics of the scene.


THAT'S MONUMENT RD!!!

Then I saw you location...

I use to live in those apartments right there.

Sorry to here of you car, but I'm glad you're OK.

BTW: JSO sucks!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

wow...sux to see

glad you faired ok tho....Hopefully its totalled and you can start over...I wouldnt want it fixed w/ that much damage either...

 

[camrycev6]

I absolutely love dogs, but my father taught me long ago, if you don't have a good option, hit the dog (or other animal). This could have been a whole lot worse for you or others around you. I know you don't have much time to think in situations like that, but wrecking is usually going to be far worse than hitting a dog. I had to take out a dog once or risk hitting another car on my right at about 50 MPH. I did what I had to do, but I wasn't happy about it.

My mom nearly killed me and my 5 siblings trying to avoid a dog in the road when I was a kid. We wrecked and ended up about 10 feet from a 150 ft. drop into a valley. My dad wasn't there, but when he found out it was over a dog.... man, he was not happy.

 

[shockdoctor]

will do....yup...damn dog jumped out from those bushes and ran across the road. I was only going 40 mph.

Sorry to see this happen. Really though, no judge will believe you were doing 40 mph when they see the pics of the skid marks. Looks more like you were going 60 to me dude. Thanks for jacking all of our insurance rates too. All of the mods you list in your sig, and probably not one dollar spent on perf. driving school. wtf? (hand)

 

[Shaz]

Hey Shockdoctor, were you there? Give the man a break. No one from here except him knows what really transpired. Even if he is indeed driving too fast, no need to insult him or anybody for that matter and blame him for jacking up your insurance rates. If you are so worried about paying a big premium on your insurance, get rid of your ultra-performance MS3 and get a 10 yr old Kia that would only need comprehensive insurance. Hope you don't fall on a ditch and come crying here.

+1 That's the reason they gave you the ticket in the first place, judging the skid marks.

 

[bradf_420]

you shouldnt be judging ppl for speeding. you sig sais you have a sleeper wagon with no visible mods.
