My AW is F*cked

[HELBND]

Well ended uni today, only to be told that while i wasnt home, my AW (parked on the road) had been smacked into. According to the neighbours, a honda civic came screaming down the hill, locked up, and slammed into the back of the AW. 2 guys then got out of it and ran off.

the police towed the civic, and im guessing are looking for the owner, though i suspect its stolen. in the meantime, im without a car, and cannot afford another.

as far as damage goes, from the quick look i had, the rear right quarter resembles a crumpled piece of paper, bumper and boot are pushed in, and my nice new facelift taillight is smashed

im absolutely gutted, i dont know what im going to/can do about it

[fuel]

What happened to the Supra? Or the other AW11? What about the City?

[HELBND]

they all got sold, so i could focus all my $$ on this one

[Jazza]

Hate to say it dude, my civic sounds like it was in better shape when it was hit and they called it a write off. Insured?

[flygt4]

tis is why we have insureance unfortunately. sure does suck tho.

[HELBND]

not insured - just got an alarm installed and spent all my money getting it back to wof standard (its been off the road for 2 months getting rebuilt), i got it back from the alarm install last friday and was going to wof/reg/insure it next pay day

its my own fault for not being insured, but those two idiots better hope the police find them before i do

[fuel]

Sorry to hear dude.. I couldn't even imagine how hard it would be without a car for a while, especially in auckland.

[HELBND]

yea its not the best aye - luckily, i can get the mrs to drop me at uni, and anywhere else i need to go... for a lil while anyway

[fuel]

You going to look for a runaround? Or find another MR2? I'm guessing this is the one you've 20V'd and fixed up. I'm sure you have alot of MR2 parts stockpiled by now

[HELBND]

yep its the 20v that took the beating, and unfortunately, ive sold off most of my spares. Hopefully looking at another AW tomorrow, with frontal damage

[Jazza]

So the big question. Is it a write off?

[Silent Knight]

Very sorry to hear about all of that Ben.
Hope you get sorted with another car soon!

[Vertigo]

dude, im so sorry, that blows hope they make the $&#$% pay for a restore.

[samlloyd]

So the big question. Is it a write off?

How can it be a write off when he has no insurance

[Jazza]

*IF he had insurance* would it be a write off.

I was asking if its repairable. Use your brains people

[Lanius]

Gutted about your car dude, hope karma comes round and bites the wankers who hit it. Hope you get sorted out with a new ride soon.

[gordon77]

hey bro so sorry to hear man - and hit by a honda *shivers* at least you can save the engine and repair any wiring that may have been damaged and just swap it over when you get another aw

[HELBND]

and now, what youve all been waiting for, the pictures... looks worse in the flesh, as you can see how badly out of alignment everything is

the skidmarks start a good 20m before my car








am now waiting to hear back about another AW, fingers crossed

[Ako]

I'm more blown away by the fact you sold off the city turbo!

Sucks to hear though bud, hope things get sorted.

[THA SHZ]
