Someone pulled out an hit me when I was passing a car. Doesn't look good for my car. Jury is out until they tear into it.

 

Wow that sucks buddy. Looks totaled. You want a leftover 14 or new 15?

 

Ouch! That really sucks.

 

Drag. Where did they pull out from?

Inclined to agree. I'm a retired auto insurance adjuster and the majority of damage based on the pic is obvious to me, and will be obvious to the shop and adjuster in person. I don't think there's any need for a teardown. You took a hard hit.

Good luck

Who's fault was it?

 

Hopefully they total it and you can get a new one!

 

I'm kinda torn on this one. 2012 was my favorite model year and finding another Kona blue GT with all the options (except Brembo and Recaros) and low miles is not going to be easy. Don't want a 2015 (first year of a new model). Don't like the 2013/2014 as much. If I do end up getting a new one, it has to be an upgrade.

 

I hear ya. I love my 14, but I still love the 11-12 body style. I love my taillights and interior upgrades though! Recaros and HIDs etc.

 

Drive way? Business? side road? uncontrolled intersection?

 

Yikes, That's no good and I'm sorry to see that! I'm hoping there were no injuries here and if there's anything I can help out with don't hesitate to shoot me a PM, I'm always here to help.

He pulled out of a side street, but I was starting to pass in a place I shouldn't have. So fault is either shared or all on me. We'll see what they decide.

 

I know someone with a kona blue and a supercharger in it, maybe he'd sell! He's on this site. From9to5 or something like that

(doesn't look after it very well though)

Seriously though, glad you are ok and sad about the car. I hope you get what you really want for it!

 

I know who you're talking about. That poor car is trashed!

 

Kona Boss? That'd be an upgrade while keeping your year & color preference

 

I've seen it also. It's down right filthy and in need of a good detail. That's minor tho.

 

Sorry to hear about this. Yeah, I always worry about passing like that. I've done it on a few occasions, legal passing zone, clear path. But the side streets, people just pull out. If you were passing before they pull out, and then they do, and hit you, I'd assume it's their fault, and their insurance pays for everything. Judging from the pics, you were passing on the left, some guy pulls out from the perpendicular lane, then hits your driver's side. Ugh... people...

Who IS that guy??? I hear he's a total loser.

p.s. get it right Darren, FromZto5, from9to5??? LOL. What am I, a cubicle prisoner? It's Zto5 because I had a Nissan 370Z. white one. Great car, but after a test drive in a 5.0, well, you know what happened then

Totally trashed... indeed. Looks like crap. And slow. hehe.

You guys...

Let the man grieve for a little bit will ya? You're already in here trying to swoop him to contact you to buy MORE parts to put on his car? How exactly will you "help" him? By selling stuff to him?

You guys are ridiculous. Another reason why you'll never get my business. And you mask it by offering him consolation? .... You're always "first" to solicit business, yet somehow, once you hook em in, your "service" ends there. It's really pathetic.

 

From the damage and impact it looks like they were going a decent speed. I'm guessing that you were changing lanes left and he was coming across? In that case, he is obligated to stop in the middle and even though you were both "changing direction," you had the right of way.

 

And lol from9to5 cracked me up. It's cuz you're always on TMS!

And seriously, I guess if he gets his car totaled and gets a new one, they're there so he can buy new mods when he's already out how much money out of pocket?

Judging from the pics, you were almost done with your pass - he hit you left rear, this should be the other driver's fault.
