Rear-ended and my fault?! (pics included)

[Cupkake.Luver]

So I never drove an Evo before. There was a guy from a friend of a friend who had an Evo and wanted to trade for an S2k. I wanted to test drive it and take a look at it. Long story short. I test drove the evo...which was okay. (I love my S) The guy who owed the car asked me if he can test drive mine. I told him go right ahead, its only fair. I had my son with me so I told my husband to go with the guy. He took it on the highway. My rear passenger tire seperated so he pulled over. He merged back on the highway to put-put it back. Someone rear-ended him going 70 MPH. Now the only reason we know that he was going 70 is because once the guy got out of the car he said "Man I'm sorry, I didn't see you. I looked my phone and looked and there you where. I must have been going 70, are you okay?" So here it is...the shitty part... FHP gets there and states its not his fault. It was the driver of my car (the evo guy). Now, ONTOP of not being guilty for smashing the back end of my precious baby, we have to go through MY insurance company cause it was MY car that was hit. My insurance expired on Friday. Today (Monday) I was going to renew it. So I had no insurance when this happened. Oh also, cop said my taillight was out. OBVIOUSLY YOU MORON, MY CAR JUST GOT SMASHED IN! Tell me what you think about this stupid ass situation. Here's the damage...hurts me to look at it...could have been a lot worse, but it still sucks.

[Gadgetmanconnor]

so sad to see. i hope every thing comes out for the best

[s2000isu]

karma for not having insurance.

[s2000isu]

oh and id be damned pissed if someone pulled out putting in front of me on the highway. Maybe your friend should have waited until there weren't cars coming towards him if he knew he had to take off slow.

[mlc]

That sucks! Sorry.

It does look like at least several thousand dollars in parts of damage when they add up all of the little clips and parts. Cant really tell from the pics what got damaged underneath. Not sure on the labor but it will be at least that much.


Good luck.

Kevin

Thanks for being a jerk

He was on the highway going 35MPH for over a mile before he got hit WITH his hazards on. So he didn't "cut the other guy off". The other was too busy playing with his dick and not paying attention to the road.

[Switchblade]

Damn, sorry to hear about this Cupcake!! I really hope everything works out for you. Glad to see you back on here and keep us posted!

[s2000isu]

Maybe he was just trying to get those wheels off the road.

[RL1924]

Lol its what he does best. He gets intimidated by females

[s2000isu]

and that was me being a jerk my other post was just stating the obvious.

Bummer situation. I hope you realize how incredibly LUCKY you are that no one got injured -- your husband, the guy driving your S, the guy in the other car -- and that no other cars ended up involved as well.

As much as it pains me to say this, you need an attorney. 1) You have no insurance. 2) You have a police report saying it was the driver of your S at fault. 3) There is some evidence to support item 2 -- regardless of the speed of the other car, the S was the one entering the roadway and so it's that driver's responsibility to yield right of way; and at 35mph, he should have, if at all possible, remained on the shoulder of the road since most major throughfares have a minimum safe speed requirement (you only say highway, so it's hard to tell if we're talking freeway or what).

I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope you come out with as little damage as possible. That stated, you do have to admit that letting that car out on the road knowing it was uninsured, regardless of who was driving and who else might have screwed up in the process, was definitely your own fault and you have to accept the responsibility of the results of that action.

You called the car your precious baby. Um, you allowed someone else to drive it and without insurance. It must not have been as precious as all that.

Please, I know you are upset and having a hard time seeing this for what it is. But a LOT of this situation is entirely your own fault and best thing you can do now is own that and attempt to mitigate damages.

They are sold.

[burlys2k]

Driving without insurance is a big no-no. If anyone was seriously hurt, you could go to jail or be stuck with their medical bills which could be 10s of thousands of dollars. Never let it run out, and if it does, keep it off the road until you renew. Hard lesson to learn the way you did.

I am glad everyone is ok, and I hope it works out for you in the end.

That's right. He does seem to have some undying hatred of Miatas. So I guess he won't like these slot cars:

[Gardimontana_S2K]

Sorry to hear that Cupcake... at leat no one got hurt!
Yeah, the insurance shouldn't have lapsed but its still a messed up situation...hope everything works out in the end so, keep us posted...

Haha even slot car racing is cooler than miatas. All I know is im two for two what say sumthin.

[Jim21680]

Insurance is lapsed, so you let a "guy from a friend of a friend" test drive your car? (BTW, is that three orders of magnitude, or just two??)

Ughh...yeah, that was a bad idea. If you had insurance, it would be the other driver's fault. But regulations state that because you are uninsured, you are at fault...by default

Good luck getting your car fixed.

[fm_sd]

How many lanes was this road, since it sounds like he was going fast for the right lane. Also, he shouldn't have been looking at his phone.

[Cupkake.Luver]

Alright guys...The guy's insurance who hit me is covering the repairs.

Also, for all the shit talkers, insurance wasn't lapsed. It expires on the 20th. The letter the insurance company sent out had the wrong date on it. So either way, I'm covered. Just sucks I had a car that was involved in a rear end collison. =(

Here she is, about to head out. Took the tow truck guy over an hour to get her on the flatbed. lol.

[Switchblade]

Glad to hear it's covered Cupcake!!! Good luck!

[bbcricketta]

sorry about your car. i know you are sick. shite happens. i couldn't let nobody drives bb lessen i was in the passenger seat. it don't happen often. at least she's off to the shop and maybe you will have a good experience with them, and have happy ending.

bb

for you so called "shit talkers": hate to say it, but i kinda like the red wheels and the pinko miata. that's not sayin' i would want to be seen drivin' either one, but i has seen much worst.

[Marioshi]

You got lucky. You thought the insurance was lapsed and didnt do anything about it. I dont think anyone was shit talking, cept for ISU (thats all he knows).

Glad to hear everything worked out.

[GUNVOLVO]

allz well that endz well.
on a side note never noticed your hood ,nice

Shit talkers? You said it expired yourself....

[Cupkake.Luver]

Just wanted to let the jerks know that the insurance company gave me incorrect information.

[Switchblade]

How are the repairs coming along??

[blobianco]

It's alright ur still good looking cupcake that's all that matter.do a couple photoshoots and it'll pay lol

[Xiaoschi]

so....Parting out??? Jking

[s2000isu]

Shit talkers hahaha. We only used the information you gave us. If youre too immature to see that thats your issue. But the good news is no matter what happens with insurance and all you still have a good rack and most likely nice headlights and they are worth good money.
