Holy ****, are you okay? I hope you can take that bastard for all he's worth, and then some. Make his life hell. I wouldn't be able to control myself. How fast were you going? It looks like you basically got under him like a wedge and tipped him over. How bad is the damage to the unibody? Does it appear to be fixable?

Xophertony

well, he got a few good punches in there, but i feel you won the fight.

good luck with the insurance.

Yeah I'd say the Camaro won that one no matter how you slice it - it's still on it's wheels.

spr250

Dang, hope you alright. Take him for everything plus the kitchen sink. looks repairable. hope it all works out.

2tonedmaro89

ooohhh noooo hope you get it fixed and w/ that pearl paint being *** to match oh man...im glad your alright

pearl_iroc

well i am ok and so is the other guy thats actually him in the pic reahin in to grab some beer cans to toss out before police came. i was going about 35km i think he thought maybe i was goin to slow or something since its a 40 zone and tried to come across before me, its funny cuz i carried him there with the front of my car then parked it the side no problem, that car is one stroing beast, im gonna fight as hard as i can to get her repaired. any how i am goning to pick up a rental today and hopefully an adjuster can come see it soon, but most likely not till monday, theres no way im gonna let them total my baby,

thanks guys, chris

Glad you're okay, you definitely owned that mazda.

On the bright side though it looks like you needed a couple of fenders to start with judging by the rust in that third pic, lol. I don't think the paint on the hood should have separated like that either where the top layer just completely came off and the other was fine. Take it to a better shop next time.

I hope you got pictures of him actually holding a beer because I can only see a pepsi can in that picture.

TurbomanKnight

Damn man, sorry to hear about that. Glad you're alright. Your car was the reason why I kept my ROH rims on my 92 RS. Good Luck with the insurance man!

pearl_iroc

thanks guys, well im gonna go to get checked out tomorrow gettin sum ncek pains,and lots of stuff to do today, i found an excellent place to have the car repaired pending the ok of the adjuster, i looked at her today an there seems to be no major damage ill snap sum pics later, on the bright side i ll get new fenders (drivers sie was rustin a lil any way) and a new hood, the last place i had this car painted at was 5 yrs ago and its held pretty well i only hope i get an amazing job done to it this time also ohh and aside from the beer cans he tossed out he failed the breatherlizer test and it was coke in the bag he tossed so hes screwed

KBcobra

wow thats amazing. thanks man i feel safer in my camaro now. 91-92 GFX on an IROC? Its not bad lookin but its different, kind of like it. How bad is frame bent? if its bent pretty bad get the money from the insurance company, part her off and go buy another IROC. its sad to see an IROC smashed. i wish you luck man RIP IROC

That sucks. Dont settle for too little, get as much as you can. Looks like it was sweet before the incident. Too bad stupid people have to mess everything up.

that sucks, hope you can get it fixed and looking as good as it did before.

BadBowtie88

Dang that sucks man! You'd be surprised at how easy they will total a car. Hopefully yours will make it out. Glad you're ok. Good luck.

irockid86

a couple fenders a hood, front bumper covers and a radiator support with the need of some frame straightening and paint. let us know how that works out. at least there were no kids in the car with you or anything.

Looks fixable

No major damage from above, check the frame horns

Tell the body shop to detail the engine bay while they're in there, it sure needs it

Rip that jackass for all hes worth
Neck and back problems are no joke

iTrader: (7)

At least he couldn't do a hit and run.

OkanaganIroc

Glad to hear you're okay. Get yourself checked out for the injuries as soon as possible. Insurance companies will try to weasel out if they think you were injured elsewhere.
The car definetly looks fixable the rad support seems to be the only real structural damage and they can either weld a new one in or repair it like they did mine when I hit the deer doing 120km/h. It is amazing what kind of hit these cars can take up front though as you'rs was still drivable.

ghettocruiser

iTrader: (4)

Looks like its actually a good thing that it was a small pick up. 1) it was light enough for you to push him...lessening the impact, and 2) you scooped him from underneath...instead of smashing right into him.

Might have shoved the "frame" horns right under the truck, and the chassis could have been left relatively undamaged. Atleast I hope so.

Hope your neck pains arent anything serious...you shoudl definetly try to get what you can from the guy. If it were me, he would have been both alc drunk and punch drunk by the time the cops go there. No idea where his black eye and broken nose came from officer..steering wheel perhaps??? haha.

Good luck bro!

pearl_iroc

so today i went to the body shop and talked to the manger he showed me the list of parts i need about 4500 + labour, maybe some frame straightening and hes gonna repaint the whole car everything adds up about 9 grand so i guess we will see what the apprasier say tommoro the manager is confident it will be fixed as hes had experience with f bodys in lesser condidon and gotten 8500 to fix an he say my car was in way better condiditon, also i went to the doc so he sent me for x rays and stuff and told me no work for 3 wks

StevenK

iTrader: (1)

There is no way an insurance adjuster will give you over 4 grand to fix it man. Its totaled if thats what the body shop says it needs. You might want to take it to another shop to get a second opinion.

pearl_iroc

hey stevenK i dunno where u het ur numbers from but this car is worth alot more than that, the appraiser from ing came to see the car today we determined that its worth 11 grand as an 88 alone plus i gave him recieps for about 6kin work done in the last 2yrs he took 3k worth of recipts with him as he would add that in plus 1500 in stereo equiptment so dont be surpised to see this car back on the road soon

1987ZTPI

she will roam the streets of T.O againg no worries but do whatever u can to get the insurance company to pay all ur bills missed work everything else cuz thats what the insurance is for take whatever u need F$$k them . you gonna do another white pearl i love that colour.

19doug90

aww man i love your car
was chatting with you a month or two ago in PM's, where are you taking it to get it painted? curious mines getting a white paint job sometime soon

pearl_iroc

yea guys im gonna take ecerything i can from insurance i got reciepts for everything from HIDS to new transmission, so they gonna fix that if i have to sue them, and yes its still gonna be a pearl white jsut dunno wut kind yet. as for the shop i know u guys are gonna flame for this but i took it to 427 auto collision, on queesnway and atomic st, i went there first to check the shop on sat an from wut i seen they do good work, the have a few custom painted cars there an the this place is clean and the manager there know alot about irocs, im prolly gonna get a new 2inch cowl and a nice aluminim rad to top things off but wont know for sure till tomoro so my fingers are crossed its abot 90% chance the apprasier told me they will savve this car

19doug90

lol ya id definitly flame you for that, i know of one or two shops out in oshawa that is where im probably going to take my car

seen some great things out of champion motorsports in scarlem, rob ing is the guy there, one or two bad stories but for the most part they do 4000-10 000 dollar paint jobs, are a full chassis shop too

iTrader: (4)

Completely off topic, but ROH wheels are the win! Hope they get it fixed up nice for you, looks like it was a nice ride, prior to becoming a forklift that is.

pearl_iroc

lol yea doug im a little nervious about 427 collision but this guy frank i talked to is shop manager there told hes had experience withe thses cars, he shoed me the parts book hes gonna order from so hes got everyting in order and they did a 89 gta recentely i think and hes got a friend that fixees theses up sumwhere in oakville, so i think they ll do a good job

Slepewesel

iTrader: (1)

Yea, good luck with all that. I did the same thing when some damn woman totalled my 84 Trans Am for me. I had all the receipts from work, and the only thing it needed was a paint job. New suspension, motor, tranny, rear, etc etc etc .... Insurance came back and said, "Here's $3000, final offer, have a good day."

pearl_iroc

wut can i say man other than that suks, but i ve been thru this before wit my dads 85 z28 they gave us 6 for it an that car need a rear end an **** this car will pull thru especially wen the insuranse adjuster tell me not to worrie, if not its lawsuit time lol ohh just thought id thorw this in i just found http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_13137.aspx sacary stuff

iTrader: (1)

If it was truely an accident, I would say..."stuff" happens - glad you guys are ok. But...this guy was drunk and had drugs?! Screw him! Sue his butt for everything you can! This was COMPLETELY avoidable! Sorry for the rant, but I have lost a few friends to drunk drivers.

freestylzz

If that was my car....

He would have been a drunk dead guy after I got through with him.

luvofjah

iTrader: (2)

That sucks... Most importantly, you're ok and the car looks fixable....

I'm legally blind (no diver's license) but am working on a Kitt replica (insert joke here)....

You can only imagine what it's like living your life not being able to drive, for work, for social or just runnin to the store or corner food joint...

People with DUI's get multiple chances... kinda like a dart board, see how many you can take out this time... Let them walk or pay for transportation for the rest of their lives... like I have to...

Raf

pearl_iroc

yea i know the word crash is the olny way i could have described it at the time it was no accident, an this guy seems like a real *****, right now i cant rele do much in the form of suing until i get my x rays an stuff back and insurance lets me know wuts gonna happen with my car, but i would love to make sure this dude never drives again, cuz it is unfair for drivers like this to get multiple chances to take other peoples lives

186irocz

These cars are worth more then people think, my buddy just got 1 roach of a iroc, payed 3 grand for it, and it needs endless body work and eletrical work. I sold 2 86 irocs which where great origional condition both high miles but great running , could use paint to be show. Got 6 for 1 and over 7 for the other. These are worth there wait in gold. Harder to find in good shape, now the trans am's have to catch up. Mabe its just buffalo ny were they are worth money, its near imposible to find a solid f body around here.
Sorry about your car man, nice to hear there not going to total it out.

iTrader: (1)

man that is a shame. i hope you dont have herniated discs. i have one in my lower back, L4/L5, and it is not pleasant. ive been living with mine for 3 years now and it just sucks since im only 21 years old now. im trying my best to avoid surgery and epidural shots. do you have any pain that runs down your leg? that's a sign of disc problems. keep us posted on your car, i would hate to see a beautiful 3rd gen head to the yard bc of some irresponsible ***hole!!!

pearl_iroc

ok so the shop contacted me and as most of u have been saying the car is saveable the car has been valued betweem 9,500 and 15,000 so its gonna get fixed i couldnt be more relieved right now lol, i just gotta go see the doc as im still gettin shootin pains from the top of my back to the bottom and yea SirMarT42 ocassionally the pains in my back shoot to my legs when i ve been staning for a while and im only 21 so im a lil worried about that, ill keep you guys updated

rwdtech

you might want to get the surgery before you get nerve damage if its that bad. i went a little over a year with one before i had surgery, and i have slight nerve damage. just FYI...

83camaroMN

wow that really sucks that your car got hit like that, But at least it does look fixable. They are tough cars hell my old doors that use to be on my car are strong after laying on the ground for a year they have been hit by the bob cat several times and I took my moms mini van and kept ramming into it and I have been chucking heavy things on top of it. Total damage.. a few small dents some paint missing (cheap paint to) and a broken window. Anyway good luck fixing your car

Oh and here a pic for proof

rideon1200

Had the same thing and it healed after a couple of months. Dont go under the knife, you will nevere be the same. Sound like a syatic nerve, could be strained. Good luck. For you guys talking about the cars worth, he lives in Canada.

19doug90

as far as your car i would suggest having the body work done at that place if you trust them, but maybe take it somewhere else for paint, doing paitn is a very finiky process and you want a place that is going to really make ti turn out fantastic

let me know when the cars back up and running man, go for a cruise down in the T. im just up 20 min notrh of the city in makrham, well 20 min in my camaro

pearl_iroc

so i went to the body shop today and snaped a few pics they got the new fenders but they ordered the wrong hood, just the flat 82 92 one i wanted the 91 92 one which was on the car or the 2inch cowl (same price) so there gonna see which one can come quicker heres the pics i snapped they also did most of the straightening already

pearl_iroc

backgammon7

my aunt was in an wreck like that in her (now mine) camaro about ten years ago and the only thing keeping them from totaling it was that it only had 30k miles on it but the wrecker guy said that if she braked 8in earlier she would have stopped... but good luck and they should put that guy under the jail... bastard

pearl_iroc

yea im lucky they didnt write it off but wen u look at it, its not that badly damaged, an ya that nite i left home but went back to get a sweater for my gf (who called and requested me bring it )if i hadnt gone back home for that i would have missed that truck lol

SirMarT42

iTrader: (1)

that is exactly why i havent gotten surgery. ive heard so many mixed reviews about going under the knife, it is all kind of scarey.

iroc, if you do have disc problems, your in a position where you can sue (can u sue in canada???) unlike me where my injury happened my freshman year in college at football camp.

BADMAN

iTrader: (13)

Glad to hear for the most part you are OK. As for your injuries, Get A Second Opinion! Back surgery can be tricky and with your young age, therapy may be the answer. Donot let doctor's make decisions for you. Look at all the options and decide what is best for you. Therapy is harder and takes time. Surgery is permanent. I have "been there,done that" and you need to get info from various doctors. I don't know about the quality of Health Care in Canada, but I live near Houston and it has one of the finest Medical Centers in the country. Had I listened to my first doctor after a auto accident(rear-ended)and had the surgery he wanted me to have, I would have been screwed for life. I got a second opinion and took therapy for 6 months and was fine. Point is: There are good and bad doctors everywhere. Hope you get to feeling better. Badman
