    hi, i crashed my wrx into a light pole in one of those parking lots... i was doing somebody a favor at 2 in the morning, and it was REALLLY dark and i was REALLY tired... but yea, luckly there is NO body damage it seems like my right wheel hit the pole. i tried driving my car, but my wheel rubbed and it felt like i had broken some struts. the car is still parked at that parking lot near the ford dealership on satelite, and i`m wondering how to get it towed and how much it will cost. since SOG is so close i might take my car there, but it is so expensive there... o well, there goes my sti axle back i was supposed to get for $100..

    i really feel like i dont deserve my car sometimes. my bad for making my fellow wrx owners look bad. But you know, sometimes things happen i guess.

    i think there might be some wheel damage because some metal part of a rim fell off...

    do you guys think i should report this to insurance and get some money to get aftermarket rims? (in other words, will my insurance not shoot up too high for me to do this) or just pay with my own money and get it fixed?
     
  2. Dont sweat it man , crap happens to the best of us!

    Get a quote on how much the repairs are. If your deductable outweighs the cost of repair, claim it then get aftermarket!


    Things happen for a reason!

    Do not use insurance unless you got to. Sorrey to hear this man:wtc:
     

  4. If it costs less than his deductable to repair , then he should go that route. If its some number like 1400 to repair and his deductable is 500, rather pay the 500 and get aftermarket replacements :)

    The insurance company will get that 900 difference back in short order once they jack your rates.
     


  6. But its a fact hes out of a car right now, and if hes in a bind for cash and cant afford a 1400+ repair bill that is his better option. No car+ no ride= no job = no money.

    Sorry to hear that hope everything works out. if the price to fix is mor than deductable then go with deduct. ONLY IF you need to go that route.

    Ya think?!?!?!?! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
    That's saying it lightly.

    Sorry bro. It happens to all of us. Ask me at a meet what i did to my dad's mustang in high school. At least we found out it was 1 of 500 made.

    Chalk it up as a learning experience :hsnono: and move on. You'll be alright.
