No, if they total it and he buys it back to part it, I already got dibs on the lips

 

Herbert strikes again!

 

Did you hit his rear bumper, or the side of his vehicle?

If he managed to fully come into your lane, and you hit his rear bumper, you're at fault in texas because you had ample time to see him pulling out. True, he shouldn't have pulled out anyways, but there was still plenty of time for you to avoid the wreck by braking.

If you had hit him in the side, or on one of his fenders instead of dead center on his rear bumper, you'd have a leg to stand on.

IMO, if he managed to fully enter your lane and you still made contact with his rear bumper, you were going faster than your claiming. These cars stop really great, and i've had several times to test these brakes out.

 

 

i didnt hit center i caught driver side of bumper and i did break just not soon enofe the guy blew threw a yield onlet so i didnt have much time to do anything

 

You got to stop living your life a 1/4 mile at a time.

I'd keep in the ms3 family.

 

Then he failed to yield.

I don't know many cops retarded enough to give you a ticket if someone blows through a yield at an intersection. Either your embellishing your story, or the cop is retarded.

 

no cop was a di*k i am a young driver and i hit a old man .

 

First thing my parents taught me when I learned how to drive, someone does something stupid in front of you, aim to hit them anywhere but square in the back.

 

I'm sorry, but i still have a hard time believing all the details are here.
How far after the yield sign did you make contact with him?
How much distance did you pass while pressing the brakes?
Around how fast were you going when the actual impact occurred?

From the way you're making it sound, all of these factors were in your favor. If so, i can't see why a cop would ignore someone running a yield sign. That's almost the equivalent of running a red light.

Any chance there is a store, traffic light camera, or such around there? Banks or any other kind of business with a camera that might be pointed in that direction?

If so, get off your ass and start asking questions before that footage is lost, and you have no basis to argue in court with.

What's the EXACT address/intersection this wreck occurred at so we can take a look through google maps and see what we're talking about here.

 

the intersection is 161 and marshall street i hit breaks in inersetion and hit him just out side the onlet in far right lane . speed i dont think i was doing more than 15-20 before breaking i was doing 60 or so . ethier way i dont have anything to hide . all that aside whats the vaulve of are cars ? myn is a 09 with 5k miles and there telling me its a total loss for 13k . i paid 24k not even 3 months ago? wth ?

 

the values of our cars is crap peroid. hope u had gap insurance. either way no car is capible of stoping from 60 in under 20ft and it sucks i know but face the facts bro ur screwed....its happened to me and i bet several of others on here have had to face the facts.....if u do in fact say screw it are u going to part anything? parting it out may help a little and get u into another one really fast

 

that sucks ***** man. i would be bullshit

 

will find out about buy back and for sure total hopefully tommorow . i know am screw on the ticket and it being my fault just blows . BUT hows a car lose 10K in that quick. and i did get gap thank god!

 

That sucks. Hard.

Noobish question: Don't newer vehicles have some sort of "black box" that stores data regarding accidents,etc? May have something to do with Onstar?

 

no they dont...engine data only....some guy here almost traded in his tc but was onlu offered 14k

 

well i feel sick now . she is totaled , will not be parting out by back is to much . so i gess this is good bye ss net . man this sucks .

 

man, that sucks....what are ya gonna do now?

 

did your airbags go off? If its totaled you should get a check for what its "worth" couldnt you just get a new ss?

 

he already said its worth like 10-14k now and the buy back is 2 much so he cant part it out for a new one

but man this blows u just bought it its basically brand new n some douche bag in his truck made u wreck it n now its totaled this is bullshi they should at least help u with somethin

 

How would a new car be worth 10-14k? After or before accident. Insurance should cover the car cost, whatever they say its worth, a new SS I see for 18k here.

 

new ss over here is around at LEAST 23-24k

 

You are getting fucked by your insurance company.

Go to NADA.com, they should be paying you at least clean retail.

You should be getting between 15-16k for it.

I bought mine new for 18,250 so I'm pretty lucky that I'm not backwards on it to start with.

 

it doesn't really matter what the insurance company is giving him at this point, he said he has gap insurance, so its gonna be paid off either way

 

you should sell me your side skirts befor they take the car
