R.I.P my lovable Fit...

Story:

I was coming up to a red light, saw it was about to turn green so didn't slow down. Guy in the left lane at the light went when the light turned green. Girl on the other side tried to BEAT HIM OUT and make the left before he crossed the intersection. He stomped his brakes, so I did too. I didn't see her, the guy on the left blinded her from my view. I had the right of way, she didn't have patience. I hit her head on doing 40 into her front right quarterpanel.

Pics:

you can see the damage on the girl's car behind mine

Accident report states I am not at fault. 17 year old girl driving her mom's 2003 Hyundai Elantra is. She got her license at the end of May LOL. Check the link in my sig for the part-out sale!

Wow man, best of luck to you. Hope the breathing gets better.

Damn man, your Fit took one hell of a hit. Sad to see it get thrashed like that, but glad to hear that you came out despite that you are breathing weird.

99.9% sure insurance will total it out. I'm back to square one with no car. I'm not getting another Fit though. Now that it's dead, I want something faster. My neck is stiff, it feels weird to breathe probably from the damn airbags. I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow to start stripping.
Starting by jacking all 4 corners in order of what I'll be removing for sale:

J's front lower arm bar
NHBP side mirrors
NHBP side skirts
NHBP rear bumper
NHBP spoiler
NHBP iKona rear shaved garnish
JDM visors
tinted JDM taillights
195/50/15 Konig Daylites with Kumho Ecsta 2000mi on them
Progress rear swaybar
KSport coilovers
Spoon antenna
steering wheel
JDM center console
Circuit Hero shift lever extender
Skunk2 knob
Mugen quickshifter
seats
Weapon R trunk cage
J's c-pillar

never installed:
Weathertech digital floorliners front and rear set just bought online yesterday
OEM Fit cargo tray just bought online yesterday
2 $18 c-pillars from advancespeedshop.com just bought online yesterday
DEPO taillights just purchased from ebay yesterday

Anyone think of anything I'm forgetting? Should I take the doors off too, and the hatch? My dad has an Escalade truck, might have to make a few trips but I'm getting everything I can out of this. If anyone has any requests, start making them now.

damn sorry about your car(those headlights!) man, but it's awesome that youre ok.

trancedsailor · #13 (**permalink**) 07-31-2009, 02:30 AM

yeah my $500 retrofits are a loss

It's going to be a really long day of wrenching tomorrow...

I've been thinking I want a 04-05 WRX wagon or something along those lines. But damn, I want something small. Maybe an xB but those are too common. Don't see many WRX wagons lol

when the girl saw me about to hit her she was probably doing between 15-20mph and I was doing 40.

kylerwho · #14 (**permalink**) 07-31-2009, 02:44 AM

That's not how my math works out on a late 2010 "2011" model that I keep reading is on schedule for the US market.
