Driving home from work, it was slightly hailing, nothing major, wasnt cold. Went to go around a corner and the car kept going straight. I ended up in on coming traffic with a Civic coming straight for me. I pulled an e-brake and cranked the wheels even harder and managed to do a 180 and get back into the other lane but didnt have time to correct my steering so, the front end drifted out and smacked off his drivers side front fender/wheel.

Damage didnt look very extensive, I would need a new passenger fender and whole right side spindle/shock assembly and tie rod. The civic needed the same.

The Civic was a 2008 Si. I get a phone call from my insurance informing me that the Civic was a write off!! I thought new cars where supposed to be safer and more reliable... The front end crumpled like a tin can when they went to load in on the flat bed... Anyway, insurance decided to write my car off due to a bent frame.

Anyway, thats my story; I miss my little green beast.

at least nobody was seriously hurt... As old as our cars are, pretty much any wreck you claim will be a complete write off since the KBB value of our cars is $3000 or less (give or take)...

They gave me $4800 before tax and crap. I Ended up with $4000. I still think the car would have been drivable. Nobody was hurt which was good.

Wow. That's alot for these. Did you keep it?

You guys are lucky in the states. The book value on my '93 B62E is $400. I've put over $3000 into it already.

States??? Im on Vancouver Island, B.C.

"ICBC" God, Judge, and Jury.

A lady in a F250 backed into me at an intersection and they wrote me off. I got $3200+GST for my 95RS. I think I would get over $5000 for the SE if that happened....knock on wood.

I wanted to keep my baby but sadly due to a recent move I dont have the space to work on the car. I had originaly intended when I bought the car to do it up and make it into a pimp ride, I have spent a crap load of money on new stuff for it and now its all just sitting there in a box. Oh well, eBay here I come I guess.

Do you have a front-lip?

I did untill last Friday when I sold it with the rest of the kit. Sorry.
