Hey yall,

I been going to school at UC Berkeley for this past year and I havent had the time to get on the forum or drive my car much. But the reason i decided to visit it today was to tell you guys i recently went home for the weekend to drive my car and I was involved in an accident. Some farm worker went off some grape vine with his work truck and struck my car. He quickly fled the scene without consideration on what he had done. Luckily the CHP got him but they tried to say i was racing/driving recklessly etc... The BS they say when they see a nice car. Anyways the car has structual damage but it can be fixed. The engine and drivetrain was not harmed at all and it still turns on. Anyways i will post pics of my car maybe one of you guys will have interest in it. It reads 38K miles on it. The single turbo street ported all chrome engine has about 5K on it. Anyways pics will go up shortly and maybe someone will take interest in rebuliding it or using its drivetrain and interior etc..

Thanks,

Miguel Padilla

 

Sorry for the loss bro...

 

that sux man

really though.... at least nothing happened to you

 

Damn Miguel? Where have you been? anyways sorry for the loss man. Hopefully everything will go well. Your FD is prob. the cleanest one out there too...!!!

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. But you weren't hurt and that's the important thing.

 

!@#$#@!%$!!! What did they do to your RX7?

What do you mean Structural Damage? Did you get hurt on the Car Frame?

I don't know what to tell you but you probably need to be patient to fix the entire car rigidity and integrity. I really don't know what to say... man... sorry to hear that.

 

There is the car if anyone wants to buy it its for sale, the rims and wing and radio are off the car now but everything else is in tact, engine wasnt touched at all, Call me if you want to take a look at it 209-765-3191

 

So is it totalled now or no?

 

Damn Mig.,
I still remember when you just bought it too. LOOKS brand new and just super clean... Damn, that really sucks. Anyways good luck with what you do to it.

 

I dont know if its totalled i just got home, i had no full coverage since i was not driving it much, and the bastard didnt have anything either. If anyone wants to take a look at it your more than free to.

 

hey, i'm in sonora bro. i saw your car for sale in the autotrader. at least i think it was yours?? that sucks. i can't believe that ****. i'll hit you up tomorrow. i'd like to come look at it!! when will you be available?? let me know.

****! That car frame is damaged. You know it's hard to repair~...

Why don't you save it and repair when you have money... ? it needs at least 6 months to repair into "almost" perfect condition...

 

???????????

it can be repaired. your correct. but until you see it in person, you have no idea of the extent of the damage.

and just curious what do you mean - "it's hard to repair frame damage", or "it just takes six months"?????

cuz to tear out everything to get to the root of the damage, and fix it, will cost way more than just money. no way will you want to rebuild if you saw it in person!!!

 

that frame isn't worth fixing.

it isn't just those sections that are bent but the whole frame because obviously the tractor/truck was rather large.

 

Miguel, would you be opposed to parting the car out?

 

sorry bro, that sux =\ if you go to berkely. just wait til you finish school. and i hope you get a job that pays you BIG BUCKS after you finish! then you could get it fixed! =)

 

He is automatically liable for any damages since he fled the scene. Contact your local DA's office and have them press charges for hit and run. The wineyard itself will be liable since it was their worker. You will have to take them to court to recoup the value of your car.

BTW are you selling any parts? I need an intake

 

Not to sound like a vulture, but it you do decide to part it out there are a few things I need so please let me know. Thanks in advance bro.

true, but there's a problem. First of all the dude isn't an American citizen, and Miguel doesnt' have full coverage. And what if the dude works for himself? The dude gets away and get sent back to Mexico. On top of that, Miguel mention that the cop say he was racing or was reckless driving.

 

sorry dude, it is mine. already set things up, checked it out, just waiting for his insurance to come take pics, then off to my house

 

Stock bodied silver FD with no sunroof, exactly what i'm looking for, what a waste sorry for the loss man

 

i thought you sold that car Miguel?

 

Me and travis are suposed to go pick it up today. So once again if you need any thing let us know. I have lots of stock parts. But my last parts car is just about bare. Time for a new one.

You guys should see this thing though the whole car is twisted. the hatch dosent close right the passenger door has a huge gap at the top. It even broke the vband of the hot side of the turbo. It is very sad to see.
