My new car..she dead
 

I own/ed an 09 Outback Sport for about a month and had less then 3k miles on it. Tonight I totaled her. I hit a guard rail goin around a sharp turn and ripped off the whole front passenger wheel assembly (shock, brakes, axle...everything) , front bumber/grill and the passenger quarter panel. 3 air bags deployed, the steering, and both passenger curtain bags blew. Im totally fine but Im pretty sure shes totaled.


Oh and the police officer gave me a failure to keep right ticket....I crashed on the right side lol

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you are ok Rich.

The ticket is kind of funny though.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Don't know how you could have gotten MORE right than that! :confused:

Grateful you are ok, bro. :tu

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Thanks yeah I almost had to Jeff Gordon myself out and Im also thinkin of fighting the ticket but Im also worried the judge would throw it out and give me a careless driving. Can they do that?

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you're not hurt, Rich....hope the car can be fixed.

I think that ticket may be beatable. :r

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I havent talked to insurance yet but just by lookin at it I can saw Im 99% sure it will be. My friends and I were thinkin just buy a new subaru and maybe transfer the loan over (Ive only made 1 payment) and use the money I get from the car to put down on the new one. Idk what do u guys think?

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I would deffinatly argue the ticket, don't foreget your pictures if you go to court. Also if you don't mind me asking, what was the cause of the accident? Just going too fast?

Re: My new car..she dead
 

going too fast but I was down shifting and breaking but the way the road is. It has like a little hump and what I think happened was the cars weight shifted all onto the front passenger tire and the tire couldnt take the deceleration and momentum and it just let loose.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you are ok.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Not sure if the judge can do that. Up here if one fights a ticket they see a magistrate. The magistrate can only ammend the ticket for less than what the police wrote other than if the po-po at least in my experiance such as a speeding ticket writes it for less and the drive was an idiot and is an idiot in court. Then sometimes I request the ticket be ammended to the full amout of speed I caught them at. I know, I'm a A$$ sometimes :D

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Andrew is right....here, the prosecutor can ask to amend the ticket to the proper violation, but the judge can't do it of his own volition. Being that it was a one-car crash, they might just let it go.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

:tpd:(Tom's not stupid though) I agree and being as you might be worried over a careless ticket that is a civil infraction up here so no prosecutor invovled.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

so u guys think I can fight and maybe win? Im not sure what would happen here in NJ thou

Re: My new car..she dead
 

They will probably take you out back and beat you. :D

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Re: My new car..she dead
 

lol I wouldnt be surprised. I may just pay it. The ticket is like min $57 and a max of $202

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Better talk with your auto insurance agent first. Your rates might take an even bigger hike if you are convicted of a moving violation.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Yeah I'd talk with the insurance co. first.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I have to call them tomorrow and give a statement. ugh lol if anyone has more advice please advise. Im goin to bed and crying myself to sleep...jk jk

Re: My new car..she dead
 

sorry about your car but glad your ok

Re: My new car..she dead
 

What did you tell the police? I mean there was a deer that ran out in front of me so I slammed on the brakes and ended up in the guard rail. :D

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Remember Rich is in Jersey so he needs to substitute "Wiseguy" for deer!:r

Glad your not busted up Bro!

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I did not pull the deer card. I really didnt want to lie to the police.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Sorry to hear about your car but I am glad you are ok!:tu

Good luck with that ticket.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

lol. is it too late jk jk jk jk

Re: My new car..she dead
 

From my experience, Subaru's are one of the better cars to be in if you are in a wreck. The good thing is you are okay.

Was speed ever discussed with the police? As for fighting the ticket, it really depends on the cop, if he shows up in court, you may be SOL. A ticket after a single car crash is just adding insult to injury.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I guarnatee my story would be "I was driving along, minding my own business
and I heard a loud POP, like a gunshot. Next thing I know I am dragging along
the guard rail." The old blowout story.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

I told them I was doing 40-45. I had no real clue how fast I was actually goin. I was just downshifting and breaking as fast as I could and I figured thats probably what I was doin at the time of impact.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Careless driving is viewed as a pretty big deal, at least in Detroit! LOL! I've slowed down a lot in my older years, but when I was younger I accumulated three of those violations in a 7 year period.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you are okay Rich. PM inbound.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Also glad to hear you're okay...the car can be replaced brother...you can't!

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you are OK...

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Thankfully you are OK Rich, sorry to hear about the car though.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

As above, key is that you're ok! Best of luck with the rest!

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad you didn't get hurt.

In 2000, I totaled my 66 conv. Mustang by driving straight into a telephone pole at 45mph. I swerved off the road to avoid another driver and didn't have enough time to correct. Got bruised up a bit, but no injuries. Only had a lap belt.
Basically, the police told me I should have let the guy hit me, as now it is a 1 car accident. They were nice though and didn't give me any tickets.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Yeah it was over on wykertown road by the 2 sharp turns by the hay farm. If u happen to drive thru there you'll probably see the smashed guard rail

Re: My new car..she dead
 

As far as the ticket, do yourself a favor and talk to a lawyer in NJ. If you have your insurance through an agent and are friendly with him, ask him about what it will do to your rates. If you are with a bigger co, don't ever mention a moving violation to them. They will already jack your rates through the roof for totaling a brand new car - single-car accident = your fault.

Re: My new car..she dead
 

That sucks, man. Glad you're OK.

Was is right here?

Re: My new car..she dead
 

That might just cause more problems (i.e., perjury) if the cop who investigated the crash saw that there were no flat tires on the vehicle. ;)

Re: My new car..she dead
 

Glad to hear your ok. :tu

Re: My new car..she dead

Re: My new car..she dead

Re: My new car..she dead
