Car Falls 7 Stories from Parking Garage

[Xargoth6634]

I've hit 3 deer over the course of my adult life driving; each one cost the insurance company ~$3-4k. Fuck deer; fuckin' vermin are everywhere.

I hear ya. Almost had quite a few deer smashes when I lived in Northern VA. I put on those deer whistles and didn't have any issues since then. Of course, I moved right the fuck away to south Florida where I can't seem to find Florida idiot driver whistles.

A 1 year old car for under 10k? Please show us this piece of shit.

Might get yourself a base model Kia or Hyundai for that.

EDIT: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...5292/overview/ Plenty of them, actually.

Yeah, I figure I'll have to deal with crazy shit on the roads or bad conditions no matter where I live. =) Western NY state is bad for weather and deer tho, and in my early college years I came around the corner in my rural county to find a horse trotting along the road by himself, no human in sight. It was like 2AM too, so doubly strange.

The female driver survived the fall. (August 11)

yup............ can someone explain to me again how they manage to get 50% cheaper auto insurance?

So what's your worst car accident, and what was the damage?

Riding in the passenger seat with a friend of the family she went off the road on a dark country road and we slammed head on to a tree. I went through the windshield. Got cut up.

[Vash The Stampede]

That car is for total. If she has collision they'll give her what the car is worth on the market. Then the insurance will just take the car and auction it off for parts.

[Typhoria]

That's not the case in countries that have actual traffic safety laws.

How do traffic safety laws prevent getting a shitty car? Just because it looks nice on the outside, doesn't mean the engine or transmission aren't in terrible condition because of poor maintenance.

If i had survived falling 7 stories in a car, i'd buy that brand again.

If I'd manage to drive a car off 7 stories, I'd reconsider ever driving again.

I'm assuming Elba includes the EU inspection under traffic safety laws.

In short, if you do not take your car to periodic inspections, it is no longer road legal

[Aurrora]

Not my own story, but my idiot brother's.

So he and his friends had made this dirt jump they were doing tricks off of on their BMX bikes.

Then he gets the bright idea to try to take his Ford Explorer over it, bent the chassis and had to get a new car.

Right, several places in the states have that requirement too. A car can be in perfect good running condition on old oil for a long period of time, but it can cause long term damage to the vehicle.

Insurance companies do the most they can to minimize the amount of settlements they pay out, the numbers show that men are more likely to be in an accident than woman drivers; thus companies charge higher rates for the higher risk that men "statistically" have.

[Stormspark]

5000 to 10000 damage is the max option? What a shit poll. They're gonna need a new car.

Hell the car in front had at least 5k damage to it. The one that fell will be a complete total loss.

[Nazrark]

A friend and I went for a joy ride in his Supra. He bought it for 30k and sunk probably another 10k into it. We were going through a green light and had a drunk driver go through the red and sheer the front end of Supra off. It was a write off because it would cost too much to replace it. Nobody died, but hasn't deterred me from my love of cars.

[lockedout]

I guess that depends on your definition of "PoS". It was basically brand new and has no problems/damages. That, to me, doesn't mean it's a piece of shit.

Also, we bought it in 2016.

Range: 53 mi battery-only, 420 mi total
Battery charge time: 13h at 110V, 4.5h at 220V
149 hp

Car in front might be a total loss. All the damage was to the frame.

Silly women had been watching to many volvo adverts.

[Donald Hellscream]

I am guessing 5000-10000, probably a shitton more.

More importantly how did she manage to drive off of the roof ( I assume she atleast)? Isn't there walls or something to prevent people from accidently driving over the edge?

[Deleted]

none were my fault not even 1% my fault.

I told him to take a right

He starts taking right, and I say "No Erik, LEFT!"

Seems more than 1% your fault to me.

[Al Gorefiend]

Typo really

[Aeula]

Was at a roundabout with my driving instructor and this other car rammed into the back of us. Apparently she'd seen a 'gap' and thought we were going to go.

Anyway she got back in her car and drove off, I got her number plate and gave it to the police but they didn't give a fuck and nothing was done. No clue how much it cost my instructor. Something on the back was cracked in a way that was impossible to repair or something.
