R.I.P My CB

[Zmatt]

well today my dad took the cb out to run an errand and it didn't come back. Some redneck woman went across three lanes of traffic on the wrong side of the road and hit the driver side wheel. I wasn't there and nobody was hurt, but the thing is totaled. I'm not sure how I a starving college student will afford a replacement since the money the insurance company will give me won't be very much. Luckily I haven't put much money in it yet so it wasn't a total loss. But it being my first car and all, I can't help but feel a little sad.

usually thr insurance gives you quite a bit. you really cant go wrong for another honda. i actually wish someone would hit me and total the car. i couldnt sell this thing even if i packaged a hooker with the deal!

Man, that sucks... I'm glad your dad wasn't hurt though! Cars can be replaced. And CB7s are cheap.

[knysha]

Totally sucks

Yeah, she was in pretty good shape so hopefully a get some money for it. I checked NADA and they say one in good condition with my mileage is worth $2300 retail. I paid $500 for it, so I guess that was a steal. I'm pretty sure whatever I get next will be Japanese and I am really leaning towards Hondas. If I can find a good deal I want to try and get a Prelude or Integra this time. But if I get another cb I'll be a happy camper.

Do you have picture of the driver wheel?

[CB7/KA8]

Sorry dude. You should be able to get another one with the insurance money.

thats very unfortunate im sorry to hear that. i told my dad if he ever wrecks my car while hes driving it he has to get me either a 300zx convertible, a audi a4 avant or a cb7 in mint condition.

Been there dude.

Mine was totalled out last december. Glad your dad wasnt hurt tho man. I know how bad car wrecks can be.

Cars are replaceable.
Human life is not replaceable.

you'll get enough from the insurance to get a new CB.

just tell the body shop that you want the car totalled out and they will usually help raise the estimate higher than the car is worth. then once the insurance company sees how much it will cost to repair they will surely cash you out.

i got rear ended in my girls 99 corolla. the blue book for a mint version was about 6500.
this car was far from mint. two accidents and it was on its second engine. probably couldnt have sold it before the wreck for any more than 3000.

we told the body shop to do what they could to total it.

we got almost 7000 for that thing......
