And then, this happened (My coupe got mashed)

***UPDATE 12/6/18
I got the estimate from my car repairs. They aren't totaling the car, the shop said there was no structural damage. Yay!
Total repair costs...about $4000. Boo!
State Farm will cover my claim. Yay! Except the $500 deductible. Boo!
That's it for now...

Hi everyone...yesterday we had heavy rains in So cal. I woke up to find that our old wooden deck in front of our house had collapsed...right on top of my 2016 civic coupe.

The photo is kind of hard to read, but the car is in a gray car cover on the lower left half of the frame.

And, I had just added a spoiler and grill to it last month.

I guess I should look at the bright side- I wasn't standing next to it when it happened, so no one was hurt. It's still drivable, but I'm wondering if there is major frame damage due to the weight of the wood( it took 5 firemen the extricate the car.) It's going in to the shop on Monday.

I'll post damage pictures soon.

<sigh>.

Wow, sorry for getting hit at such an early age...I guarantee there is no frame damage but likely extensive exterior repair. I am assuming insurance will cover?

Do you have more pics of the car now that it’s removed from the debris? Is the roof caved at all?

 

[davidpeab]

That's a drag. Will it be covered under your home owner's insurance or the car insurance?

That sucks man just glad you're okay

YEs, it's covered under my comprehensive with State Farm.

Hi, no pics yet due to the rain, but I'll take extensive pics tomorrow and post. From what I can see, there are 4 dents in the hood, bent right fender, dented right pillar near passenger window, dented roof where it meets the windshield, windshield cracked from the top on down, and scratches on left bumper( which is a weird one, lol).

Thanks! Could have been worse, no injuries and our rare 1997 Land Rover Defender, which was parked in front of my civic, didn't get a scratch!

OMG. This sucks. Glad that your insurance got you covered. Hopefully nothing major damaged. Keep us posted!

When you took it to the shop and they asked you what happened, did you reply, "hit the deck!"? Seriously though, that stinks. I was driving 25mph on the street beause it was raining so hard

Okay, guys, here are some photos. There's more than this, but these give the general idea. To be honest, I'm impressed with how it held up...literally hundreds of pounds of beams and joists fell down onto the car. It's going to the shop tomorrow for a damage assessment.

Above all things, I am happy that you were not injured.

Now, I must say, the CivicX held up its shape like a champ.

Thats not too bad after all, *gulp*.

I’m sure insurance will total it. Part out?
