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

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
