As some of you may know already i own a S13 as my project car ... although due to the lack of funds lately i havent really done much to it ... but my daily driver was a 2003 Ford Focus . Wich is no more :( http://photobucket.com/albums/v412/slvrfoci/ripfocus/ i do not know how i walked out of this one alive
 
Whoa...hot damn...your lucky that you didn't get a harder impact on the driver's side. Care to explain how this happened? The pictures look like this was a very odd looking accident.
 
Far out, lucky your ok.

yes it was i was on my way to work ... on a 4lane bridge ... i was on the far right lane ... changing lanes 1 lane to my left (far center) and their was this cargo truck in front of me (when i was in the right lane) ... so he deciedes he wants to get into that lane too he probably did not see me as i was in his blindspot or what not and hits me ... i go spinning in 360s hit the left concrete barrier on the bridge then spin back around in another 360 except this time i face oncoming traffic and that same truck ... hit my front bumper (the black mark you see on my front bumper ) with his front drivers side tire .. i bounce off then he hits my drivers side and continues to drag me halfway accross the bridge then he comes to a stop then i spin off .. then spin onto the median right behind him ... knocked my passenger side cv/driveshaft right off .... (wich tells me that the mounts become missaligned ... wich tells me the frame rails twisted ... wich tells me the car's unibody has been comprimised ) that and the right side of my daily driver has almost no sheetmetal left on it as well as a pretty well dinged up cabin .. dash that is damaged ... car is messed up :( . the focus is a nice driving car and i will miss it's driving dynamics ... and steering feel ... i will just have to use my planned project car as my daily driver now :(
 
Woah. :eek: Tough luck mate. :(

Well if its that trucks fault doesn't he have to pay for a rental?
the guy lied and said he was already in the other lane ... and being as neither of us had any witness's he faulted nobody and said it could have happened either way . ...

May I suggest a good solid beating with a baseball bat ?....

That really sucks - Best of luck man !...
 
Looks like my S14 when it got T-boned. You're probably feeling the hurt right now. Get well dude.

floh
 
I would get an attouney or at least speak to one? How much of this is covered by your insurance. SOMETHING has to be covered! Sorry to hear about your accident but at least you were ok. Shows that the car was designed real well if you didnt get hurt too bad.
 
I now know what side intrusion bars look like. :eek:
