Why does this always have to happen.... My first car show......just got her back from the body shop not even a week ago to have some minor fender work done. I was stopped at an intersection and when the light turned green...proceeded to go through, some guy ran a red light on the left and creamed my baby!!!:eek: :( Thankfully i was ok...and so was the other person..but now i have a fight on my hands cause the person is saying he had a yellow light. All i have to say is........my poor car. : |

As of right now.....no cititation to my knowledge was issued yet...but trust me...im going to be battling this one. |
F*** that sucks man, sounds like the luck i would have, did you make it to the show after tho? just to be a spectator? |
It really doesnt look that bad. If you wanted to change it now is the time to do it. THrow a big hood on it and make it look cooler. I know where ur at my sister got hit by someone who blew a light, pretty much same damage to front end and hood, it sucks but doestn look to bad, sucks to hear another thirdgen down.:( |
damn that sucks so much.....i was just in an accident today, guy at a stop sign decided to back up into me. i told him your suppost to go forward at a stop sign. no major damage for my car, little dent in the front fender. thankfully you cant see it. And i was pissed with my car, i cant believe how pissed you were when the guy hit you since you just got it repainted. that sucks... |
man i woulda killed that son of a bitch |
In the great:rolleyes: state of louisiana where I live someone must get the ticket if the police are called in. On top of that if your either: A)young, or B)driving a sportscar, your chances of getting a ticket in an incident like yours are very high and if you are A and B then your pretty much SOL, your getting the ticket. |
ouch man, sorry to hear about that. it sucks when u work so hard and someone takes it away so quickly. :mad: :bs: :( |
wow that f*ckin sucks... my friend scrached my paint and i almost hit him with a bat. |
If your light turned green then how could his be yellow? |
well i know, here in california, a yellow light is considered a stop light, and always the person is at fault that went through the yellow light if involved in an accident. so he should be cited either way. |
yea in Mass. if you go through a yellow light and a cop is around you'll get a ticket, cuz they consider a yellow light like a red light. |

You got this guy in the bag. Make sure he pays for your repair bill (and maybe a new hood and some other goodies, too!). :D Sorry man. That really does stink. :( |

damn man sorry to hear what happened to your car, but now you know to look before you slam on the gas when a light turns green, i always do that and i saved myself from a few accidents , its like crossing the street when your allowed to, you always have to watch out for cars that are turning from the other side who have the green light :) |

It looks like it could have been alot worse. Let us know how the battle goes. |
Wells got some news finally. adjuster came down......rulled the car a total. They looked at the condition of the rest of the car and all the work ive done to it restoring it and all.....sent me a check for $2235.00 So now im on the lookout for parts. Lets pray i can find them all. |
I can't believe they totaled it! That sucks. Now the car will have a salvage title! Did they at least let you keep it or did/do you have to buy it back from the insurance company? |
shouldnt of settled man, those evil insurance companies always try to call a third gen a total even if its minor damage, the only way to do it is to get a lawyer and fight them tooth and nail they have a limited time to settle the claim and if u fight long enough they will just give in. |
I know when this lady hit me in the back of my car the insurance wanted to total it and not give me any more for it. Our 3rd gens are not good friends with insurance thats for sure. Good luck bro!! JUST FIGHT!!!! |
Dont go silently into that good night, rage, rage against ummm..... the insurance companies :rockon: |
Here in Philly you can get a ticket for going through a yellow also. I was at traffic court paying an old ticket (old ticket story- I was in my old car ,88 tbird, some honda was revin next to me so i starting spining the tire:rolleyes: i didnt know at the time a cop was two cars behind me:p ) when a guy was telling a judge he shouldnt have to pay his ticket because the lite was yellow not red. The judge said "yellow means prepare to stop unless you are into the innersection when the lite turns yellow" He said "pay it or ill suspend youe lic" Anyway you have some serious control because i would have killed the jackass! |
I say you find where the f*cker lives and tottally f*ck up any and all cars in his driveway, something along the lines of running a long fireworks wick into the gas tank and running like hell should be in order or u can always just place thermite on the hood......hehehehehehehe :cool: :D |
Originally posted by pasky Wow, thats retarded. Why don't they just eliminate the yellow light. I live in the great city of laredo and because of that im forced to cough over money to insure my car of a uninsured driver Also I heard recently they're looking to make it in NY that if you have an accident, no matter who is at fault, the insurance of both parties goes up. Haven't heard anything else about that. |
looking at those pics makes ME cry... |
hey guys, thankfully because the car never made it to the salvage yard.....and i got it before they had a chance to do anything...the car still has a clean title. Im giong to do my best to get all the parts and get her done so i can at least have it for a little bit of the summer. Ill keep ya posted on my progress. |
In arkansas its legal to go through a yellow light. If it turns red while you are in the intersection its still ok. As long as it wasnt red before you got into the intersection you can go. The main problem with people getting hit at redlights right after they turn green is that people think that "its green I can go". If you dont look to make sure everyone is stopped and its safe for you to go then its as much your fault as theirs. All you had to do was take a split second and look both ways to make sure traffic had heeded the signal and stopped. If you do that every time you wont get hit at a red light unless some moron just comes speeding out of nowhere. Just because your light is green doesnt mean you dont need to check for cross traffic. Red lights dont mean crap to a lot of people and if you care about your car and dont want to get in a wreck, then take the time and look. If you dont take the time to drive defensive and you just proceed through intersections taking it for granted that everyone else is going to do what they should then an accident is as much your fault as the person who ran the light/stopsign. Im not getting on you because you got hit. I just get tired of people getting hit and then getting mad when if they had just payed a little attention they could have avoided the accident. Im 27 and I have 0 tickets and 0 accidents and I basically drive like a bat out of hell. I have been sneaking cars out since I was 12. If you dont want to get in an accident you dont have too. Well I was in 1 accident but it was a drunk driver that t-boned me out of a parking lot. I saw him coming long before he hit me and there was nowhere for me to go. On my right there was minivan full of kids not wearing seatbelts and jumping all around. I was boxed in front and back. I moved over to the passenger seat and held on to the wheel in a 1980 Ford LTD. The bumper of the guys truck came through the door and would have gone right through my chest and killed me if I wasnt paying attention to everything around me. The moral of the story is that you should pay more attention to everyone else on the road than you do to whats going on in your car. Then you can see the A$$hole that is about to blow through a light and smack your shiny car and you can avoid him all together and cuss him and drive home with the car in 1 piece. Wesdog |

The main problem with people getting hit at redlights right after they turn green is that people think that "its green I can go". I've seen this delay in other states and it should be done everywhere considering it takes 2-3 seconds to cross most intersections (unless the person is a slow driver, which there are a lot of in my area - drive 5 MPH but do not stop for red lights, stop signs or people in crosswalks), and there could probably be less of these type of accidents. |
