i was waiting to turn left at a red light and the light next to mine turned green. i thought that it was my light so i went. the next thing i know i hit a fricken suburban!

who thinks it's totaled?

 

 

Can't see the pic, but I am sorry for your grief. Sound like you are okay? Hope so. Best of luck.

 

i can see them on my computer i dont know what else to do

 

 

Slap 'em up on Flickr, and link to those instead.

You are OK, right? Not injured?

 

Yet another PW/B bites the dust.

mfreak, hope you are okay...so sorry about your incident.

 

Considering you smacked into a Suburban that was likely moving at a pretty good clip, I'm really glad you're apparently healthy today.

Although your pics are still coming up as the dreaded RED X, because of the aformentioned vehicle involved and the way the accident occured, I would not be a bit surprised if your MINI was declared a total loss by your insurance company.

Your MINI is the same specs as our PW... same year, CVT... I would say if the damages are up around $15,000, it will be totaled.

try this i think i got it

 

Sorry for your loss

 

thanks every one and thanks for the pic help

 

Wow, i thought the damage was going to be more on the driver side front corner the way you described the accident. That appears to be very nearly a head-on collision.

Hard to tell if that's a total loss. Depends on how much structural damage to the unibody and how much damage in the engine compartment. But anytime front airbags deploy, there's a pretty good chance of a total loss as that jacks the repair cost up dramatically.

 

I'm very glad you walked away unharmed. That's a hard hit. Hope you get back motoring soon.

 

My oh my - very sad to look at indeed. I'm assuming you are okay? Should go get checked out anyway if you haven't already....

i hope you're okay. sorry about your car.

 

the sad thing is that i cannot afford a new mini and i dont want to keep this one because of what happened to it so i am going to get a honda civic ex-L. definitly not a mini but a nice car still the same. i will also be selling the alarm system, floor mats, sun shade, and all my other accessories for cheap. just give me a message and some time.

 

Oh man seeing that makes me so sad!!!!!!!!!!!

And it SO SUCKS that you won't be able to get another MINI :(

 

I'll take the alarm if it's the OEM one and assuming you'll include the alarm stalk.

 

You have my sympathy and best wishes for a good outcome to this.

 

daayyum.

the headlight is going the other way..

a little wax and wd40 .. you will be good to go.

hope it all works out.. sorry for your loss

 

seeing this makes me want to cry. i feel sorry for you.

 

Glad your OK! Did your insurance co total this! I dont think a civic would have done better against a surburban! Good that you were able to walk away.

 

I smacked my mini last week too.
Here's a question I haven't seen discussed anywhere.
I took the mini in for an estimate. Apparently, you can't just replace the panels, because of the uni-body design. So the 3 places I've taken it have basically said the have to torch off the rear quarter of the car, find another quarter, wield it on.
Is that true? This dent is costing $5000.
Comments welcome, as I don't know about the body construction of the mini.

 

imo the cars done. based on picture. sorry

 

Heh heh...just noticed the date on the original post. So, it's been almost a year. What did you do??

You didn't mention the Subie. How bad was the damage and were the occupants OK?

I'll bet they were pissed!

Glad you are OK. The MINI is one tuff lil bastard. I hope the Honda protects you as well as your MINI did.
