A real heart breaker

[440charger68]

I have had her since 13 now im 24 drive her everyday, all it takes is a kid to blow a stop sign and you being in the wrong spot at the wrong time. On top of that i found out my insurance relapsed in december and my new insurance doesnt cover collision WTF!!!!  If i get all the parts by next week i should have her back on the road by mid february. he made the left turn about a car length and a half Before the stop sign and didnt stop, i had no witnesses so all i got is pictures of him turning into me and his car is probably half way in my lane. If i would of taken the turn wider he would of tboned me so tighter left was all i can do but unfortunately now im in the white stop sign line i think im screwed His car his totaled and im down a bumper lower valance and a drivers side fender. the grill is fortunately repairable and only cracked in a couple spots and everything else is untouched still runs and drives like a champ  honestly i dont think it could of gone any better as terrible as it was

That just sucks    Best part is, everything is available through the aftermarket. Hope this gets handled soon and glad to hear your ok


Sad to hear it happened

[twodko]

Oh s**t! You're walking and talking.......this is a good thing.

What kind of trailer do you pull with the Charger?

[RallyeMike]

I could not really follow the description of the accident compared to the photos. It looks like you cut the corner and were partially in the other lane and were hit prior to his stop bar?

Regardless of what happened, I hope you are able to get it fixed without too much hassle.

[440charger68]

Yes i was partially in his lane my house is three houses down from this photo, i go real slow cause the car is loud and i dont want to anger my neighbors. as i was making my left turn up the hill he came down the hill to take a left without stoping or slowing down his friends live 6 house up the street for me, he was expecting no one to be there and went left anyways without slowing down. he started to turn left about 25ft before the stop sign putting his car half way in my lane when he hit me. Even if i were to take the turn wide he sill would hit me, hes pointed towards my corner and had no intention of stopping

i pull my jetskis, its the only car i drive so i use it for everything. i have driven it as far as boise idaho and get 23mpg highway.

[charger Downunder]

I feel for you i just don't like seeing this stuff.

Ummm, the pic sure looks like you are in his lane. And that he couldn't reach the stop line and stop, because your car is there having cut the corner.

So I too see a photo that says something a little different. But what do I know, I'm hundreds of miles away. Good luck with his insurance company and those photos.  

[JB400]

Looks like you'd have to cross the left corner of the right lane anyway to get into his lane.  Just noticing how close the guy in the red is to the curb and the incident.  Is that a 2 lane road you was getting onto or a 3 lane with a center left turn lane?   Which car did the water come from?

[Mopar Nut]

Utah drivers.     

Wait I live there.   I hope everything works out for you.

Im scared to drive now.....

Im scared to drive now.....

I drive the Charger much less these days because of that fear.  Is it irrational to behave this way?  Yes, but the danger exists nonetheless...

[tan top]

noooo , sorry to hear see  this !! glad your ok   ,  damn idiot drivers prolly texting 

[dodgey68]

man that sucks, what do ya do about a grille, most other parts are availible but grilles,???,

hope ya wrote the couger off

[SuperJim]

His insurance company could very well say "no" to paying for your damage at first. It's what they do, and hope you accept that answer. You may want to look up a lawyer if you truly feel it's 100% his fault. Keep smiling, and get her fixed.

[Ghoste]

Title of the thread just says it all.  Regardless of how or why I hope it can be easily fixed for you.

            23 mpg. What motor do you have in the car ? Best I ever got with a 318 was about 17 mpg.

[kokxville]

 
Good luck with fixing the charger.I hope i never experience something like this 

[4cruzin]

Thats a sad sight . . . hope you get it fixed up quickly!   

[DadsCharger00]

Only thing I can say is happy your ok! Car can always be replaced, you can't!

[Cooter]

Im scared to drive now.....

I've said it before, and I'll say again....to all who wanna 'daily drive' these cars, this is a very real possibility.
I'm CONSTANTLY watching for deer, Dumbasses on cell phones, drunk drivers, etc.
will this keep it from happening? No. Did everybody look at me as a paranoid fool before more and more of these torturers kept popping up? Sure. But, the threat is getting worse as we speak.

[NHCharger]

Man that suxs. As stated above nobody got hurt and you can now get aftermarket parts for most of the damage.

But, the threat is getting worse as we speak.

Yup. Ten years ago all you could do with a cell phone is talk. Now it's a mini computer full of distractions, texting, sexting, tweeting, checking your emails, updating your face book status. At our jobsite we were moving a boom lift into the road and a driver drove past the flagman and hit the equipment. Multiple people said the driver was looking away from the road. I asked the police officer to check the drivers cell phone. said he couldn't without a search warrant.   

[Dreamcar]

I wasn't sure what to think looking at the pictures, but from what I see his car is turning left WAY before his stop line. In fact, your rear tire is on the stop line and he's already turning probably 15 feet or so before getting there. However, he may have lawyered up so you want to be prepared for anything and not assume his insurance will pay.

Good luck getting her back on the road and at least no one got hurt.
