Possibly totaled

[Jonmd89]

Well I got tboned on the back quarter panel of my car today by a pretty much blind 88 year old man, both back wheels bent, multiple airbags blew, possible rear frame damage

Oh man, glad you're okay though. Keep us posted on the extent of the damages. How fast was the old man going?

 

[Jonmd89]

I was going 38 and he was stopped in the center median and tried to gun it across 3 lanes and drove into me

I’m sorry but people should have to re do their road tests. It’s ridiculous how many old people wreck cars

 

[Jonmd89]

Yeah I drove into a parking lot to avoid him and he still hit me after 2.5 lanes

I recently heard people over a certain age 75/80 can no longer rent cars. But yet they are still allowed to drive without being regularly tested. Glad you are ok.

Glad you're ok. It's just a material possession, one of many you will get through out your life. The most important thing is health. Hopefully you will get it repaired or replaced soon enough

I have gap insurance and 20% payment of my next car coverage, I just hope I’m able to take the parts off of it if it is totaled, I was fbo and tuned haha.
I did grab the tuner but it is locked to my car still

How many old people wreck cars?

How many young people wreck cars?

Now to decide to get another si or try something new, I’ve only had this car 18 months and my first Honda and first sportier car, looking at Audi’s potentially as they’re fairly cheap around here but I loved that car

Age doesn’t matter, if it’s not someone too old to drive it’ll be someone on their phone. When I got t-boned and car was totaled I went to the place where it had been towed to get my belongings out of it and asked if I could take my upgrades and put the OEM parts back and they said yes. So I got my Suma side mirrors, OEM LED fog lights, floor mats, cargo liner, etc. back to put in my new car. They will probably have the battery disconnected so you would have to reconnect it to unlock the KTuner. The ECU isn’t going to be “happy”, hopefully you’ll be able to unlock it.

Do you want auto or manual transmission?

Age definitely matters. As you get older your hearing gets worse, your vision deteriorates, and your reaction time slows, not to mention those with memory problems. Driving while distracted can be punished and educated against, but you can't stop aging. It's ridiculous that we don't have mandatory driving tests after a certain age; prove you can still drive and you get to keep your license.

I was being glib, I was t-boned by a distracted guy in his 20’s.

I blame the automatics. Force everyone to use both hands to drive and that phone becomes a lot less attractive
