was on the road slowing down for a car turning left and this guy came flying up behind me and slammed into me. he was doin about 45, told me he was playing with the radio, and squealed into my rear left side. it was the left side cuz he tried to swerve out of the way. luckily there was no oncoming traffic cuz if there had been then he probably wouldn't have tried to swerve and the back of #584 would be totally gone, and if he had still swerved then he might be dead and many more cars would be busted up. its about 4g's in damages and it was completely his fault so i don't have to shell out a penny but it still sucks. in south carolina it doesn't matter how it happened if you rear end someone it's your fault. absolutely no matter what. so i could cut someone going 65mph off and if they hit me cuz i'm doing 35 it's still their fault. my back hurts a little so i'm goin to the doctor in a day or two to get it checked out and i get a rental car tomorrow too. hope i get something good and not a bad kia or toyota. kid was driving with a suspended license. the cop had in the car for a while but let him out. i thought he was gonna go to jail. oh well, it's just a car. i realize that more now than ever. never really been in an accident today. i'd post pictures but i don't know how...if anyone wants to clue me in i'll get them up asap. anyways...thanks to everyone on the boards who have answered my car questions. oh and i wanted to let everyone know that i was checkin my trunk yesterday for water leaks cuz it's been non-stop rain in south carolina for the past 2 weeks and under the trunk liner on the left side there was a pool of water so check that out.
 
ouch...sucks to you and that kid. to post pics, click post reply, scroll down to manage attachments, then browse for the pic(s) and upload and click post reply
 
sorry to hear that.......and welcome to the forums.
post some pics of the car.
 
I think at least half of the speed's in here have been involved in a wreck or fender bender at one point or another. She was doing about 35-40 and I was at a stand still. She hit me on my right passenger side. People were like.... are you ok??? I got out the car and was like WTF *%$#@.... slamming my drivers side door and giving death looks ... the guy was like "yeah...umm... I think she's ok." Felt like I got hit by a bus the next few days though. I had a witness, it's always good to have one of those around also.
 
pictures

here are the pics that i took...obviously you'll know which is mine and which is his...only one of his tho...didn't really care about him. or was too pissed to care at the time, luckily had my camera with me in the car.

looks all to familiar. they will most likely fix your car like they did mine. cut off the panel and weld a new one on. hopefully there isn't to much damage that is underneath.

Just to give an est. I had about 10k in damage from my accident

Looks like your drivers side rear suspension is bent. Appears pushed into the body a tad more. Suspension damage is $$$

u had 10k in damadge and they still fixed your car....thats right at 50% value of your car....i whould have bitched at them and told them you want a new car...my car had 35% so i couldnt to s*** about it...my buddy had 50% on his WRX and he got back for his car exactly what he paid for it...maby 500 less...
sorry to hear that
 
well they estimated mine at around $4000. but that was just looking at it. he also said it would take 3 to 4 weeks depending on what they had to do with the suspension. i just want my baby back.
 
total so far is $3600 but thats before anything comes off so price will probably go up as they take off broken parts. i get my rental today from enterprise but i'm not sure yet what it is going to be. i'll have her back in 16 days tho.

Damn ... thats hella weak. Did you accidentally beat the s*** out of the other driver before the cops got there?
 
Glad your okay. Pains me to see a black mica damaged. Hopefully the bodyshop will do a great job and get you up and running soon.

thought about it but there was that damn firetruck RIGHT there as the accident happened. oh yea, and i got a piece of TOTAL bulls*** hyndai elantra...it totally sucks. but i found that if you put on the ebrake, slam the gas and hold the brake pedal about half way down, you can smoke the tires...hahahahahahaha. i can also redline it in neutral and throw it into drive and they will smoke for maybe half a second then the car just goes forward....anything else i should try out. its not my car, so i dont' care...lol
