I was coming down this road near her (g/f's) house.. stopped at the stop sign to turn onto the main road to her house (turning left) and out of no where someone came flying from the crest of that hill and slammed into me... (from that left side of my car).. I slammed into the galss of the window and shattered it and we spun 360... and yeah.. i'll have pics.. I'm lucky i'm alive.. it blew the engine off it's mounts =|

We are both okay. I got staples in my head (i think 3..), and had a concussion from the impact on the glass, but we are fine. The car is a complete loss, I didn't even see it yet as I will tonmorrow, but when I came to in the car I saw the center console pressing on the passenger side and the shifter slammed along the passenger seat..

Damn. Get well soon, I hope all works out well... The other driver owes you a new car, and some money for pain and suffering.

It's not going to work out that way. In fact, I already got my citation from the police. It's the PA plates in Ohio thing... (girlfriend lives 45 min. away in Ohio.. I'm from PA.

Are you saying that you aren't going to get anything back from this?

Glad you're okay. Too bad about your MX, you put a s--- ton of work into that thing.

Yeah I know. I just redid all my brake lines (what a pain in the a-- those are >_>).... and I did a crap ton of work.

If I get another MX, I think I do want a V6.. yes, I know that I had said I loved the ease of working on a 4cyl, but the V6 has sunroof, cruise, all that fun stuff.

But in all honesty, Idk if I got the V6, if I would do a KL swap... i just don't know if I want to embark this journey again...

Im glad to hear your ok, and everyones allright, Sorry to hear about your car. On the bright side you could always buy a 4cyl at that has a glass moonroof and swap your drivetrain in...

Regrettably sounds like failure to yield and once your found at fault no insurance for you. :( Glad to hear your ok, accidents are never good. If you came out of it with no major injury your already ahead of the game.

the Seat belt really cut my g/f's neck up.. it's pretty nasty. But we did manage to come out okay just sore and with minor injuries.

Oh, and the shifter slammed into her knee...

Holy crap! Glad you're both alright with only minor injuries. It sucks about the car, but cars can always be replaced. I wish you both speedy recoveries!

Crazy, glad you are OK.

even if it is your fault you can still get payment from your own insurance company depending on the type of coverage you do have. if you have uninsured motorist coverage you can even get a settlement from your own insurance. sounds like he was going way too fast for you to react, you may be able to get this overturned. I would speak to an auto attorney they can be worth their weight in gold.

2 years ago I got a 180K settlement... It took 4 years to do but was worth it in the long run.

Also its standard practice if you got hit in the front half of your car to get sited, if you would have gotten hit in the back half the other driver would have been for failure to yield.

I hope everything turns out ok.
