    Default Sublime is wrecked....

    Ok.. so here it is.. Last night around 720 or so, i was trying to turn left at the light... there is some construction going on there, which means ALOT of extra gravel in the road. Well i caught some and as soon as i did, it lost control, i coudnt do anything to stop, even the people i hit couldnt believe it happend wheni was going that slow.. its crazy. If the city could actually clean the roads once and a while, i dont know.. still sucks. Now i have no car and i wont know what is going to happend till next week.

    I am ok.. i was sore.. but i just dont know how to fix my car

    Glad you're alright dude. The car looks totalled. Take pictures of the area under construction and see a lawyer about filing a suit against the city. It's easier than people think and much easier to win than people think.

    I dont think its totalled mike....after talking to you on aim I think the car can be salvaged and will be fixed...its roughly 50-60% damaged and the way you talked the engine got off without being damaged

    damage is concentrated on the bumper, hood, fenders, air bags and most likely suspension on the car....

    I would highly recommend retaining a lawyer as well, get statements from the other drivers involved and any accident history on the area as a direct effect on the construction....either the city or construction company was negligent in keeping the area clear of debris

    Don't worry, you'll get her fixed. Be glad that no one was seriously hurt, and be glad you didn't get my hood!!! Seriously though, you'll be able to get her back to normal, she looks bad but if she just needs fenders, hood, headlights, bumper, suspension stuff, they shouldn't total her. If they do, I think you can buy her back from the insurance company. Not sure how that works, but it's something to find out.

    Sure am sorry! Kyle is right, get a lawyer who can get statements from area folks on streets not being cleaned even after construction & previous accident victims there! Insurance Companies always want to "total" a vehicle rather than pay for full repair, eventhough what they offer can no way buy a replacement of the same year!! If you can get a fair settlement and keep the car, look to aftermarket fenders, hood, facia, etc. as it is a LOT cheaper than FOMOCO stuff & looks cool as well! That's what we did when Tribalstang slid & hit a curb & tree (passenger's side fender, hood, facia & two wheels)! Once we started with mods it was like taking drugs...we couldn't stop! LOL GOOD LUCK on getting a good settlement!

    If they total the car you should be able to work a deal to purchase the car for back super cheap. Then dump the money back into the repair of the car.

    When they total it they go through this bullshit process of getting parts and labor at outrageous prices, where you could easily get it done cheaper for the parts and the labor. For some of the prices they come up with for stock replacement you can do performance parts on your own and still save cash.

    Good Luck.

    At Prestige Mustang (web address below) you could probably purchase the complete front clip (from the firewall forward) at a decent price. They are located in Atlanta Georgia.

    Did you air bags deploy? if so you can almost be guarranteed a total...careful about buying it back tho...if they try to give you a salvage title don't do it...in Fl if you get a salvage it has to be repaired and state inspected...it also lowers the value of your car by about 50%...and you are right it will never be the same. If you do get a total loss take off as much of your mods that you can...ins is not going to include that in the settlement unless you have purchased additional ins for the mods...good luck and I am glad to hear you are ok!
