Oh crap

[Fishman]

Well tonight on my way home from work my luck ran out.

Guy pulling a trailer pulled out in front of me, didn't even see me he reckons and I unable to get out of the way slid into his drivers door.

Popped the air bag too.

So pi55ed off cause it was the car I dreamt of owning since i was a kid, barely had 7 months and now i probably won't see it again.

Fronts all pushed in, all four lights are broken plus indicators, there was water pouring out of the radiator. And i just spent a heap getting the Air con fixed too.

Worst thing is my car's screwed and he doesn't have too much body damage. but may have to fix some suspension as his front drivers wheel didn't look straight.

Hopefully the insurance company, in the generosity of its heart will repair the Xr not not consider it a repairable write off.

BTW no one hurt seriosly hurt. Banged my knee into the steering column still a bit sore now.

Aww man that just sucks. I saw an accident involving an XR exactly like yours, same colour and very similar circumstances about 2 weeks ago. (But I'm in SA)

How do people like that get along in life?
Hope it all goes well, insurance wise etc.

Bit of bad luck, hope it all goes well getting it fixed or replacing it... :

"All four lights are broken" :

Sorry to see that mate, hopefully it gets repaired

[bo0]

That's a shame mate, main thing is that you're ok, ho[pe you're able to recover what you can from what happened. Looks like she was a beauty of a car too. :(

[fiery]

wow thats a crapola thing eh..
know how you feeling though....... sit tight and wait to see what the verdict is before stressing out..
just be happy that you are badly hurt..... cars can be repaired or replaced.. people cant..

good luck with it though

That's exactly right, as shattering as it can be stacking a car (especially your dream car) can be, when it comes down it, it's only a car. Take comfort in the fact that a lot of awesome street machines spawn from accidents like this :

Sorry to hear about the car. :( I suppose lowered cars would be a bit harder for someone in a 4WD to see, but they have a responsibility to be extra careful.

Hopefully it isn't written off... keep us posted.

Sorry to see the bad luck mate looks horrible should be able to fix it though as long as the chassis isnt twisted!!

[Dezza]

Sorry to hear that and see the damage. Unfortunately, looking it the photos, I'd say it will probably be written off. To fix it you'd probably need to replace the whole radiator support panel, which is a big job. It looked like a nice car too. Best of luck.

Damn not good, looking at those photos it looks like a farily big hit and chances are the XR will be an economic writeoff (cost of repair exceeds certain value of the car).

[vanessa0305]

Oh my goodness I am so glad you walked away from this without serious injury!

[4.9 EF Futura]

Mate that's horrible. At least you're phyiscally OK.

[Grechie]

damn man not good at all, hope insurance takes care of it and doesnt write it off

[Tiga_EL]

jeez that looks nasty, hope it all gets sorted out mate..

[Fishman]

I shudder every time i look at those photos. Thanks for the sympathy. She was a very nice looking car, just hoping they'll decide to repair her.

the car's being assessed tomorrow so i'll keep ya's upto date.
