Title: so, i crashed it...
Post by: R.Cadett. on January 08, 2007, 09:51:02 AM
Soo...i crashed my zuk last night at about 11 due to heavy rains and tires that are not for those conditions, foggy windshield and poor visibility and a very tight turn... im ok though i put it in reverse and drove outta there, still runs the back tires a little wobbly, and i walked away with a broken nose.

Thats tough. The nose will heal OK, is the Zuk repairable?

well, because its a  low value vehicle, theres a possibility it might be totalled, i dont know the damage internally, like if i messed up any thing with the gas tank cuz the gas door is completely smashed in, also on the wheel well inside, its almost separated from the rest of the vehice, so theres a lot of little things wrong with it but adds up to big money. if i cant get it fixed, ill have to junk it.. and that will be tough.

In all honesty, that really isnt that bad. I mean, it is still driveable with the body damage. if the rear wheel or even the axle is bent, you can easily get a replacement from a junk yard for a lot less than another car (in the couple hundred dollar range). My car has a crease over the rear fender on that same side, and to get it fixed would be rediculess because it would probably be as much as I paid for the car ($600), so I just drive it how it is. I would say fix the wobbly wheel and forget about the body damage, and dont get the insurance involved.

Just my $0.02

i need to get some body work, i cant get the gas door open lol i only have 1/4 tank left and once thats out i cant drive it lol the key wont even turn all the way to even try to bend the hinge to get it open.. so maybe ill part it out if worst comes to worst. and ill still make on it i only paid 500 for it and put about 6-700 into it. im bringin it to the shop tommorrow to get everything checked out and hes gonna let me know from there. i love the thing to death and would hate to get rid of it

I call "dibs" on that hitch, if it gets totalled, and you don't want hitch anymore. PS- sorry bout the accident, I hope to never crash mine, but you never know, they're not called on purposes.
