Title: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: rocketstarter on April 11, 2009, 04:36:48 AM EDIT
It looked a lot worse last night. But at this point I hope it's totaled. I was goin back home after I dropped off my girlfriend at her house and decided to take a shortcut. Bad idea. I was going around a corner doin around 45 in a 40. The road level drops at mid apex and I see a dog. Stab the brakes. Massive weight transfer towards the front and the rear end breaks loose and buries itself in the gravel that's sloped down. Hit a inclined concrete driveway sideways. Rear end jumps in the air followed by the front. Drivers side front hits the road and the rear drops back in the ditch and keeps sliding while taking out a mailbox. Sorry for the rough description but I've put so much love and work in this car and it only happened about 2 hours ago, I'm still hoping it's just a fucked up dream. Here are some pics. don't know how to upload the vid. It's been a pleasure my ECM friends. I'll be around until I go to basic, might make a comeback with another CM one day.

Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 Post by: Anonymous on April 11, 2009, 08:25:42 AM holy shit dude, aside from the damage of the car. how about yourself?
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 Post by: ibcnunv on April 11, 2009, 08:37:29 AM Oh man!!! That’s crazy man however, as long as you’re okay. The car is always replicable, you’re not.
I am really sorry man…. Next time kill what ever it is in front of you even if it will also haunt for life too. I had to run over a puppy because I had a car full of passengers and I was not going to swerve so I hit it’s ass… To this day I remember it vividly. Poor puppy! Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 Post by: timot_one on April 11, 2009, 08:48:51 AM That really sucks. Sorry to hear about it, but we're all glad you're okay.

Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Mike on April 11, 2009, 02:05:40 PM Dude sorry about your accident. If you have full coverage, you might be surprised your damage looks similar to mine, and my insurance company is paying the 6.5k to fix my car.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: rocketstarter on April 11, 2009, 03:46:17 PM Thanks guys, I definetly appreciate it.
Quote from: "lavalleemike" Dude sorry about your accident.

I'll post more detailed pictures tomorrow, I'd appreciate it if you could look at them and see if they'll total it since you unfortunately have first hand experience Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: mnkyman on April 11, 2009, 05:18:25 PM sucks to hear man. For anyone else, if there is ever an animal in the way, just hit it, the chance of injury is less than spinning out of control and hitting a more permanent object (like a tree)
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: timot_one on April 11, 2009, 07:49:10 PM In MA, if you hit an animal, you are not at fault. In this case, you lost control of your car and you are at fault. At least that's the way it works in MA.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: exelr8 on April 11, 2009, 08:13:50 PM Hate to say it but from a traffic accident investigator in TN thats how it works too. Although, the animal can be noted in the report as a harmful even and in the narrative as a contributing factor
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Mike on April 11, 2009, 10:14:48 PM Post up the picutres i'll have a look. There is some damage to the unibody on mine around the bumper supports but, they just pull it straight, and reinforce it. Is your car an ex v6 or an i4? It really all depends what the book value is. The amount of damage needs to be over a certain % of what the value of the car is. I believe in RI it's 81%. In my case I'm between 70, and 75%
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Milan on April 11, 2009, 10:50:24 PM Oh man! Sorry to hear what happened to you and your car but I'm glad to hear you're well!
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Paulius005 on April 11, 2009, 11:29:21 PM Glad you're alright man, it sucks to see another accord totaled :(... But at least you're ok

I know I was at fault for even touching the brake pedal during that event. but after 6 straight days of work with 5 hours of sleep max and it being 2am I wasn't capable of rational thought. I reflexed, and ultimately fucked up. Quote from: "lavalleemike" Post up the picutres i'll have a look.

I apreciate you taking time looking at this mess. I'll post up detailed pictures of the rear late sunday. Everyone else thanks for the kind words!!! It feels pretty damn good to read some supporting words. Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Mike on April 12, 2009, 09:14:15 AM Thin of it this way, and this is how I look at mine! Your okay, really at the end of the day nothing else matters.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Skippy on April 12, 2009, 09:18:30 AM Wow dude those pics are rough...I'm glad you're alive. Cars can be repaired or replaced, but people can't... (unless you're one of those fake motherf*ckers..in which case you dicks are a dime a dozen) :)
It hurts to see any car like that, but moreso when you've put in all that hard work and time... You mentioned going to basic training, I'm assuming that you're entering the military. Thanks for serving and come home safe (in advance). Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: CrazyCreashunz on April 12, 2009, 01:19:04 PM Wow man, sorry to hear about the ride. Glad your OK!
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Latin2nr on April 12, 2009, 03:57:59 PM Wow that's really fucked up man, glad your okay, should've ran over the fuckin' dog.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: rocketstarter on April 12, 2009, 05:59:27 PM Thanks Skip. I do what I can, and that's all I can do.
Yeah I went chasing after that motherfucker as soon as I kicked my door open. Fucking dog. I always thought that the day I wreck my car I'd at least have fun doin so. Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: exelr8 on April 12, 2009, 07:09:15 PM did you catch it?
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: rocketstarter on April 12, 2009, 07:30:12 PM no two cop cars came my way as I was running up the road. If it wasn't for them I'd have a skinned dog in the backyard, kept alive on morphine basking in a acid bowl.

Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: Jellynuts on April 13, 2009, 02:41:07 AM Dammit! G7's are dropping like flies :(
Good luck with your future endeavors man. Glad you're OK! Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: v6sicksspeed on April 13, 2009, 10:34:22 AM damn man that looks pretty bad. glad you're okay - are there any salvagable aftermarket parts or is it a total loss?
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: ibcnunv on April 13, 2009, 10:38:10 AM Boy, still not a pretty picture…
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: ROLO on April 13, 2009, 11:39:32 AM Glad your ok man.. sorry for your car...

Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [nw w/daytime pics] Post by: rocketstarter on April 16, 2009, 01:05:08 AM yup. the 12ga and the rest of your grandfathers arsenal. I'm gonna shove a nuke in that dogs ass if I ever see it again.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: seththekorean on April 16, 2009, 08:46:44 PM bodyshop pics are pretty crazy.
i had no idea the rear windshield was even cracked ha. Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: Mike on April 16, 2009, 11:33:25 PM Now that I see these pics your car is worse than mine dude. What is the verdict totaled or not?
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: rocketstarter on April 17, 2009, 12:48:47 AM they're uncertain. I'll know when the geico guy does the math and crunches some numbers
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: Jellynuts on April 17, 2009, 01:31:58 AM Mine only had the front bumper ripped off, and one airbag deploy, and they wrote it off :(
Best of luck man! Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: Mike on April 17, 2009, 06:42:12 AM The airbag is what did it for you... If I had one go off i'm sure mine would have been a total right off.
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: slipkord on April 17, 2009, 01:26:19 PM so the more important question is who has dibs on what...money talks brah!
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: rocketstarter on April 18, 2009, 12:38:49 AM haha we already installed the intake, mugen shifter assy and NRG harness stuff on Mikes car.
I still have left the supercup and the CF hood, and Ingalls Rear camber arms. $400 for supercup and Ingalls rear camber whoever wants to pick it up first $250 for the hood. It has 2 chips in it. But they can be bondod in and painted if you want a stealth look Ingalls ETD $100 bucks, might work a deal if you're getting more then one thing from me Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: slipkord on April 18, 2009, 09:52:10 AM PM sent. I'm curious to see how well the supercup held up, I'm interested. You willing to ship Matt?
Title: Re: Totaled my CM7 [new pics from bodyshop] Post by: Knocturnal84 on April 18, 2009, 10:21:51 AM the front of mycar looked like that when they took the stuff off after my accident
