I just talked to him, he rearended someone that was trying to make a rediculous turn. He's at the hospital now and he said he is ok. From the text message and talking to him, he said it was totalled.
This is nuts, cause I just got word that 2 of my friends were hit making a left out of a DQ parking lot up here... weird.

Wow that sucks, I hope he is all right. XD's are pretty safe though and it appears the airbags deployed. I thought his car was black on black on black???

04-25-2008, 11:07 PM
sure why not...or maybe because I need to get money for it so that I can pay my wife back for the truck I just got. If I didn't have to though, I would probably let it walk out the door for next to nothing!

hey sean, thanks for posting and getting almost a full page in before i get home! lol
yeah, car is f'ed. im suprised pic came out that good from my g/fs phone..
i didnt REAR END the guy..the white GP in the back of the picture, he was coming out of that street. its a 5 lane road, 2 NB, 2 SB, and a lane for both directions to turn. traffic was stopped from a light about 70 yards up, and the 2 lanes of NB traffic stopped enough for him to get out...my turn was up about 30 yards, so i got into the turn lane, passing the stopped traffic, and BAM!. i mean, his truck got hit from the wheel forward, so it shows how quick i was able to see him. there was no avoiding it
he got cited for the accident, has insurance (state farm, same as me), so finally, for once, im in the clear...feels pretty good.
antifreeze was all over the road, the drivers door is a little hard to open (fender pushed back a bit), im pretty sure itll be totalled out
ive got a sore neck, lower back, and a bunch of flexeril, vicodin, and ibprofuren 600's.
oh...and i was actually on my way to get my g/f...this was right infront of her work. she walked the 30 feet over to me. since we both worked til 6, i drove today and was on my way to pick her up and head home

I was gonna say cause from the pic it looked like t-bonage. glad you're ok.

Dude, sorry to hear about the accident. Take it easy for a few days!
Almost the exact same thing happened to a friend's sister-in-law last weekend, except that the car that was sneaking out t-boned her, so she was already crossing the "gap"... and then the bastard tried to blame her for the accident.

04-25-2008, 11:55 PM
Good to see you're okay man. Damn, that blows though!
evan938
04-25-2008, 11:55 PM
i dont know if ill buy another elantra. first, i have to see whats gonna happen as far as my car being paid (had gap insurance thank god...owe 8k, worth ~5700) and if the insurance is going to give me anything toward a new car, then im gonna start shopping
CornbreadXD
04-26-2008, 12:18 AM
glad your ok man, that sucks but take it to state farm the guy that bashed in my car had state farm too and they act really "iffy" when both parties have state farm. don't let his agent short change you! if they give you a weak *** figure tell them thats not good enough! I'm having flashbacks right now, get your car towed back home or somewhere where it won't be "broken into" also.

Looks like the airbag went off. Likely a total. I bet you hurt like a SOB Evan.

Wow that blows, but glad to hear your ok other then the soreness.
Again, more proof these are safe cars...
But I agree with the rest, start shopping now...that is most likely a total.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope the pain goes away quickly.
he got cited for the accident, has insurance (state farm, same as me), so finally, for once, im in the clear...feels pretty good.
You're talking about the GP right? Seeing as all of you were guys I got a little confused.
evan938
04-26-2008, 12:25 PM
the GP wasnt involved...just me in the truck...i was just pointing out the GP to show where the guy in the truck was coming from
the doc's yesterday said that i would be hurting more today and tomorrow than i was yesterday, and they were right. my neck hurts so f'n bad today. already started with the ibprofuren 600's
im not gonna get it towed home...theres not much in there im worried about. i went last night, got some of the stuff out i needed, phone charger, earphones (since i had my ipod plugged in and they were on the seat), few papers, cd player face (who would steal the player without the face, right?), had my amp in my trunk from a while ago...no subs in there, no speakers, nothing of value...it just sucks because i asked the FF to roll up my windows incase it rained, and they had the mentality like..."its totalled, who cares if it rains?"
im gonna run up in a bit once i eat some breakfast and get some pictures and get the rest of my stuff out of the car

04-26-2008, 12:28 PM
Glad to hear you are OK.
CornbreadXD
04-26-2008, 01:01 PM
thats bull! When my car was getting taken away they did the same thing and thats why my sri was stolen and some ground wires. Some people are a-holes for no reason. Even if its totatled the owner may want to buy it back to use the parts and stuff.
evan938
04-26-2008, 01:14 PM
yeah, well, the only thing they can steal at this point is some water bottles, junk mail, and 2 bottles of laundry detergent in the trunk.
luckily, this one wasnt modded much, so the only thing in it right now is a SRI (other part of pipe is in my trunk), struts/springs, and a sway bar. everything else was stock
wow, just rediculous. glad your doing (more or less) ok. hope the pain goes away soon and shiz.
maybe you shouldn't get another elantra.. you dont seem to have awesome luck with them!
and damn, that pic wsa from a celly? looks pretty clear
also, best of luck fighting insurance to the proper price point, hopefully it will be smooth
evan938
04-26-2008, 01:28 PM
yeah, g/f has a razr (or however its spelled)...i was suprised it came out that clear too...going to the yard in a bit to get some pics w/ the digi cam

04-26-2008, 03:04 PM
That sucks man, glad to hear you are ok! Looked like it was pretty wicked..... You don't want it back after it getting smashed like that, it will never be right, sooooooo.....
If you are worried, I can get a plow truck, and help you "make sure" it's totalled! :sst::sst: You know, just go take a look at it, lol!

04-26-2008, 03:23 PM

04-26-2008, 03:59 PM
pics i got when i went to the tow yard today...looks like IM is close to smashed into the friewall, radiator core support is SMASHED!. i didnt think it was as bad as it was, but its pushed back 1' EASY. radiator is f'ed, bumper trashed, i didnt even try to lift the hood to check under it.

Who was at fault? If it was him, then you should definitely get paid. +1 on the gap ins., it's the only way to go with cars that don't hold their value all too well (although, I have noticed that it's getting harder to find a cheap hyundai these days).

Hey Evan, Glad to see you're okay, but One question, what kind of Intake do you have on there? the pipe looks longer than most pipes I've seen for a SRI, let me know if you're going to take it out, I'll take it.
Thanks and I hope you Feel Better.

are you gonna try and get some parts off it? if so, I'll take the swaybar depending on which one it is. also, I'm glad to see you f-ed that guy's truck up so bad. I've seen some accidents where the person NOT at fault get's towed away, and the stupid person gets to drive away. it's one of those "how's that fair" moments.
evan938
04-27-2008, 12:27 PM
im not going for any parts on it...theres not enough there for me to worry about it...all i had was GT wheels, KYB's + H&Rs, sway bar, sidemarkers (which i got yesterday for someone), intake, and 3 way nozzles (which i would like but itll be too hard to get off)
Dude sorry to hear about this. Is that in front of McDs on Cleveland?
I would love to find out where it ends up, and get the struts/springs off of it.
evan938
04-27-2008, 07:41 PM
