  1. auto insurance during covid 19

    This wasn't exactly what you'd think of as an experienced bicyclist...this was an uninsured, mostly-homeless-but-staying-with-relatives dude with a federal record riding his bike down the wrong side of the street, and running a red light. He then got up after causing over $8000 worth of damage...

  3. auto insurance during covid 19

    The only accident I've ever been in during my 33 years of driving was this past September during the pandemic, when I hit a moron who ran a red light on his bicycle. Because he was uninsured, I had to pay my $500 deductible out of pocket and my own insurance had to cover the $8,000+ repairs...
  4. How many miles do you have on your Civic?

    Until the pandemic, I averaged 30k miles per year or more (100 mile round trip to work every day). But, I've been working from home since March, and will continue to do that, so the 2019 Sport Touring that I bought less than 18 months ago in August 2019 now has only 14,000 miles on it. For...
  5. My Poor Car!

    I feel your pain. I have the 2019 twin of your car, even the same color. In September, I hit a guy on a bicycle who ran a red light. He's fine, but he was found fully at fault for the accident, and my repairs (all front end) were over $8000. Since he had no insurance, my insurance had to pay...
  6. When you come to a stop light and the guy behind you comes to close.

    Agree 100%...just spend some time watching dash cam videos from Russia, China, or any southeast asian country, and you'll realize how good you have it. I never ever want to drive anywhere near Russia - I think in general it's the worst of all I've seen, they are terrible drivers.
  7. Anyone have experience purchasing from carvana?

    My stepson bought and financed his fully electric Chevy Spark through Carvana last year. He was 21 at the time, so he'd never experienced buying a vehicle at the dealership - he didn't know how good he had it. The entire process was simple and positive for him. The vehicle delivery process is...
  8. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    Final update - got my car back last week. New hood and driver's side front quarter panel (replaced and painted, not repaired), all front bumper/trim pieces, fog lights, windshield, side mirror, driver's door trim, plus they sucked all the glass out of the ventilation system and interior of the...
  9. How old are you

    Nope, just a regular dude on a bicycle. Here's the full story: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/civic-vs-red-light-runner-on-a-bicycle-everyone-is-ok.55219/
  10. Thanks Carvana

    I haven't sold a car to Carvana, but my stepson bought and financed one from them about a year ago, and it was a simple, easy experience for him as well. The whole delivery experience is pretty cool.
  11. How old are you

    I'm 48, bought my 2019 Sport Touring Hatch a little over a year ago. It's been in the shop for 6 weeks due to a red light runner on a bicycle who hit me (and tried to flee the scene) that caused over $8000 in damage to my car. I hope to have it back this weekend. My first Honda was also the...
  12. Wrapped Cars and Law Enforcement

    It's not like it's illegal to paint your car a different color.....or wrap it.
  13. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    UPDATE - estimate from the body shop is right around $8,000. My original guess was pretty much dead on accurate. Now we are just waiting for State Farm to say yay or nay on that amount, and we can start getting my baby fixed.
  14. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    Needed that....if I don't laugh, I'll cry! :)
  15. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    I grew up in MA in the 70's/80's, moved away in 1989 (Fairhaven. south coast, at the base of the cape)....I remember all the craziness related to insurance. Here in Arizona, they will go by the police report, and since I wasn't cited for anything, and the guy on the bike will be cited for at...
  16. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    This is crystal clear, no more information is needed to assign fault, which is why the police officer who was there when it happened assigned 100% of the fault to the guy on the bike, and none to me. The guy on the bike entered the crosswalk (from right to left, meaning he was on the wrong side...
  17. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    I hear you, but I want to be clear...this wasn't an experienced "cyclist" as we think of, with a helmet or spandex shorts, who rides with traffic on a regular basis and knows the rules of the road. This was a homeless dude on a bicycle. If he was trying to get out of the way of traffic, he...
  18. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    To throw my own hat into the ring, my own guess I made yesterday was $8000. We shall see!
  19. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    The thought crossed my mind, but I don't think it was intentional. I wasn't stopped at the intersection - I was approaching it. There were two other cars stopped at the red in the other two lanes. I don't think he knew I was coming in that empty lane, and even if he had, his chances of being...
  20. Civic vs red light runner on a bicycle (everyone is ok!)

    I estimate I was going 30-35mph at the moment he popped out in front of me directly in my path and I stood on my brakes, as I had been accelerating through the green light. He was moving pretty quickly as well, I don't think he even slowed down before pedaling out into the intersection (on a...
