    9 Months. Then This :(

    Happened about 2 weeks ago Monday. 27 OCt to be exact.

    4 cars were involved and I was unlucky one to be
    the one in the back.

    So what happened? Looks like you re-ended someone.

      Got tired of waiting for insurance taking its sweet time.

      Instead of waiting for the Insurance Appraiser who said
      he would be coming about a week ago, I went ahead and started
      stripping the car.

      P.S. Does it look fixable or is it salved now?

        Still not pretty sure.

        4 Cars involved.

        Lexus
        ^
        Honda
        ^
        Ford
        ^
        Moi

        The Honda must have hit the Lexus first, the Ford braked, I braked even harder, my brakes locked and I hit the Ford.
        When I hit the Ford, the momentum from me pushed the Ford far and fast enough for it to hit the Honda. Enough to leave a dent on the Honda bumper?

        So who's at fault?
        Have fun insurance.

        As far as I think, I think thats what happened, all I know is that the Ford Taurus in front of me braked really fast and I did the same, and I hit her. What really happened two cars ahead, I have no idea.

            When you run into someone, it's usually your fault. They'll say you shouldn't have been following so close.

              the frame rails don't even look bent. just replace the core support. its a pretty easy fix in comparison to what it coulda been

                    Suprisingly the Diving Boards remained intact.

                    Just have to unbend the frame and replace the fan.
                    The frame got pushed into the fan hard making it not spin
                    thus having to make me pay money to get the car towed out of there.

                      This is a pretty easy fix. Why are you pulling all the parts from the car?

                        I was in Bumper to Bumper traffic.

                        It happened in the middle of an intersection, right after the traffic lights turned green. I was trying to hog as much space behind the driver in front of me because my car was right in the middle of the intersection.

                          Meh, not even sure.
                          I want to start working on it completely now that its permanently down.
                          I was trying to remove the seats to try and clean the carpet and have no idea how I ended up ripping the odometre and the HVAC out.

                            that's fixable. new fender, hood, core support. I doubt your frame is bent - it looks worse than it really is. at least *you* didn't get rear ended, that pretty much destroys an E30.
