Got rear ended two weeks ago from a Toyota Corolla. Dude fell asleep while we were in traffic. Minor crash, maybe 20mph. This is what $20k of damage looks like. Still needs another week or two in the shop before repairs will be done....

I won’t post videos until this is sorted out, but imagine this: Traffic slows down on the highway. Pretty rapidly. I come to a near stop and start riding my brakes in very slow moving traffic. I look back and don’t immediately see anyone, but I keep looking back. Suddenly I see this red FRS speeding towards me. It was about 10 seconds after I had slowed down before this dude smacked into my car. Made zero effort to slow down or swerve. He wasn’t even looking up. I was a good 2.5 - 3 cars behind the car in front of me and I was riding the brakes. Yet I got pushed into him hard enough that I smashed his rear windshield and messed up his trunk! I hope they throw the book at him..

20k! That’s absolutely horrendous. I briefly looked under the hood today and the engine got tweaked.. air intakes were disconnected and the bay seemed a little pushed in. Considering this is where the “minor” damage is.. I truely wonder the the final bill would be if they repaired it!

Do our cars have a manual release for the hatch? I’ve read a few threads and nothing seems to indicate a manual release exists. I applied some power under the hood, heard some devices come to life but the car is still powered off. I suspect a safety device kicked in. But unfortunately that means I can’t pop my hatch open..

But, if you bring your car to San Francisco, they'll find a way to open it.

I got 90% of my stuff out of the car with the seats folded down, but when I installed my dash camera I ran the wires behind the panels in the hatch area. Pretty sure the panels won’t come out without the hatch open.. Luckily I managed to rip out that fancy towing module you sold me that I still hadn’t finished wiring up! Procrastinating pays off sometimes(?).

Finally closing this chapter of my life. Insurance took FOR EVER to settle my claim. (Don't even get me started, I've never been so disappointed in a company before!)
Here's the dash cam footage as promised! Rear view: Front view:

Oh my God, what the heck....that's just crazy. I had the same situation a few yrs back while driving my first BMW X3 (very used one), but it was at much lower speed. The speed of that red car was crazy stupid.

First thing the officer did was zoom in to see what he was doing when he hit me. Unfortunately he tinted his windshield! His head was clearly in the clouds because he was not paying any attention. Likely on his phone. (He was clutching it on the side of the road)

Glad you are okay man. I recoiled a few times watching that video while thinking about my 21’ F95. I have my dash cam muted but now I might want to unmute it after watching this. Hope none of us have to deal with this but it’s so wild on them streets. And I probably would have wanted to swerve too but you likely did the Jetta in front a favor for real.
This reminds me of when one of my own Infiniti brethren almost ran me off the road on a two lane, dark highway in NJ. All I remember seeing is the illuminated Infiniti logo similar to mine on the front grille swerving around a car in the left lane and coming straight for me. It all happened so fast but I managed to gun it and the 400 hp V6 got the hell out of the way as I swerved left in front of the Volvo I hoped wasn’t there. Took me another 2.5 years before getting a front and rear camera. |

Funnily enough, about unmuting the camera… I swore like a sailor when I got hit. I shared the footage with the Jetta owner at the scene and later after calming down a bit I realized said video was likely going to be psssed around to insurance and various people etc.. so I sent him the video you see now, which is censored But yes! Dash cams FTW. This reminds me that I need to find a all-in-one front and rear for the wife’s z4..
