jesus what happened. i feel for you, i recently got into an accident in my 04 fx 35. it was a lady's fault, she decided that stop signs didnt apply to her, she t-bones me, and pushed me into 2 lanes of oncomming traffic. I thank god that the light on that street was red, or else me and mainly my girlfriend (the car would of been coming from her said) would be very injured right now. But seriously, what happened? I know someone ran a red, but what the whole story?

I was coasting through green lights on my way home from work and on this particular green the other car decided to gun it right as I was approaching the lines. Didn't even have a chance to react, the car was right in front of me before I even had a chance to do anything. Ran right into her axle and that caused the brunt of the damage. You can see where the crushing was shifted towards the passenger side. Luckily, I had no passengers and the other car didn't either. And no one got hurt, thankfully. That's great...but my car...

Sorry to see that. I've been through a bad accident with my first G37. It was totalled. Unfortunately, I think I had more damage. I don't think your car will be totalled. Best of luck with the repairs. It happens to the best of us.

Yeah, I got an estimate and it is in the shop waiting for parts now. I still have to wait at least a month before I get it back. In the meantime, I'm looking at custom headlights and a new grill for it. Bah.

i almost know the feeling.

2 months after I bought my G sedan, i was moving through a green light at night that had been green for at least 5 seconds, when a car comes running through the red light on his side of the intersection.

i have no idea how he missed me, but i turned my head and saw his right front fender miss my right rear fender by no more than a foot or two. and he wasn't planning on stopping.

my heart jumped into my throat.

sorry about the crash...you're alive which is good.

this sucks, I feel for you. Make sure you get diminished value payout from the other party's insurance company after the car is fixed.

Thanks for showing me what my car would look like after a wreck. Seriously though, that sucks. Hopefully it will all turn out OK.

It happened to me

I know how you must be feeling right now. My previous car a 1995 Acura Integra was broadsided by a girl running a red light when it was only 5 months old. The car was in the shop for 6 weeks and when I went to pick it up I couldn't tell that it was in an accident. I kept that car for 14 1/2 years before getting my G37.

I feel your pain... As of yesterday, the whole back end of my 09 G37x looks like an accordion thanks to some lady "not paying attention". Front end damage too because I was rear-ended (HARD) at a red light which smacked me into the car in front. Now I'm going through all the insurance headaches and literal head and neck aches.
