Please don't play around in the rain..

If the cost of repairs is less that the car's worth then they fix it. They call a car totaled when it is more cost-effective to buy another car than it is to fix it.

yeah but most repair shops like service king charge way too much...when a uhaul crushed driver rear end of my cb's(very minor) quarter panel, tailights and bumper, they charge the ins company $1150 way too much......i could have done it somewhere else for about $350 or less, but the other guys insurance was paying it

[jmolina]

OMG!! and your still alive. What do you think saved you?

the truck is really tough...and only God kept me alive\\

people kept saying that was a deadly crash, even the cops were like shit someones dead..but no..we were all ok kinda...my brother got blow to his head and glass slice the back of his head...

but thats why they have shops of their choosing to access damage. If the cost of repair exceeds cost of the car, they pay the smaller amount. thats how insurance companies work.

They give you as little as possible. Look at Shagwagon..... they are trying not to give him anything.

yeah thats true...but i mean he can do it himself if he had the means to...but your right

i saw shagwagon's....insurance companies try to rip you off and try to avoid paying anything...

it's retarded. They are a required service that you cloud not otherwise have and they are good for close to nothing. Can you say monopoly?

id keep the car, buy another cb, transfer the interior, and engine

[F20A CB7]

When I crashed my baby (f20a cb7), i boughtthe car back for 200 dollars, and the reason y I bought the car back was because I had a JDM motor in here, which cost me 650 shipped, y dump a good motor when she's jus fine, let alone buy another JDM motor. Plus she had a 11.5 fw and f1 clutch, besides the motor... I bought it back cuz I had Rare Oem Grey leather seats =) that I found @ the JY and I refused to give the up, also I wanted my exhaust and muffler.


See what u can do, I mean there's always ppl out there who take junk cars away for free.

Ill strip the shit outta that interior and wheels, mayb motor, and junk the cb shell and keep it moving to something else

[richie92ex]

that sucks

I use to live up there, looks like you were up by I-10 and 17, The carnage looks intense, at least your unscathed! And that thing looked so clean......even bashed up

[XcluziveAZN]

this is the 3rd cb that got into accident due to wet road ><

i got into accident with the curve if the curve wasn't there i would of been sliding into on coming highway traffic ><!
only damage to whole left steering and suspension stuff.


Atleast you are alive Poor CB

get another CB or go Subaru AWD and i'm pretty sure that accident won't happen to you again with a Subaru :P

[heero357]

sorry to see that man, a real waste of a good cb. bit at least your ok & u haven't done to much moding. if that happened to my demon They can keep the insurance check because they wont give me what it's worth to me w/ the h22 n it. i'd just keep it, take everthing out & get another shell & put it all n that one. good luck getting another one.

[heero357]

No way that car is fixable. The whole thing is tweaked, I can see it. I would just find a clean shell and transfer all the SE stuff to it.

of course that car is fixable. as long as the frame is fine the fenders, doors & bumper can b replaced. the rear quarter is the hard part but it can b done. my boss is from New Zealand & once we had a car like that. i said pour gas on it & burn the fucker, but after 2 days of cutting, heating, welding & shaping w/ a flatening hammer u couldn't tell it was ever damaged. but everybody can't do that.

[cloudasc]

Dam man, the car took a beating, glad to hear your ok, and you had full coverage. Just like everyone else has recommended, go find yourself a nice shell, and swap everything. Insurence should quote your car 3-4+k in the condition and mileage it was in. Two years ago my car was appraised with 132k miles, only an though 91 lx @ $3.8k Oh salvage for my car to buy it back from the insurence company was 700. They paid me 3.1k and I gotta keep my car, 1000 in labor, 500 in paint, and 500 in parts, and the car was good as new.

Oh and a little trick to get more money out of the insurence company, is to clean and detail the car before they look at it, otherwise they could lowball you for some dirt, & if your a smoker, empty out the ashtray, and bath all fabric in your car with febreeze & hang some air fresheners.

Question is can he do that for less than the cost of another CB? Tough considering even 93s are going for like 1K stock. Any car is fixable, it's a question of whether or not it's worth the effort.

[illestatus]

wow, sorry about your accident, but im glad that you are ok.

Actually it was on the northside of town where MLK Jr. pkwy and I-95 meet

This is what I planned on doing. I already found another one on craigslist on the westside of town for $2300 (http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/1144381035.html) and go to the salvage yard and get all my stuff out of it and transfer them to this one. How difficult would it be to do an engine swap of my engine form the salvage yard to a new cb?
