I won't be mentioning names at this time but feel free to take whatever assumptions you would like from the last photos. The dash cam footage was deleted and sd card removed so the only information I have about the actual incident is via the police report, and what i can piece together. the shop owner got 2 tickets from the cops for excessive lane change reckless driving. With a witness on scene saying they saw burnouts and donuts from down the street.
What I can tell you is how heartbroken and screwd in the ass I am now, Its been 3 months. The owners promise of making good have all gone silent The lingering effect on my life has really depressed me. Im reminded that i walked away from this not hurt idk if the same could be said for the other person they hit. The car parts themselves are all ruined as they somehow lodged the car on a fire hydrant where it flooded for the next few hours.
The worst part was I had recently blown my pure turbos and paid 5 grand at ssr to replace it with less then a 100 miles on. I borrowed 2500 from my dad that i was intending to pay back. Hes nice enough to let it slide, but i basically lit that money on fire and feel terrible about it.The insurance company has offered me 18k. I added up everything with the labor and I'm looking to lose around 16 to 20grand. Which i know isnt a lot to people on here but im a broke college kid in a small apartment. Trying to build himself something to respect in the land of brand new m3's and 16 year olds. Most of the work i could do i did with my older brother. So many countless hours down the drain and thousands spent on restoring new parts.
Before you say get a lawyer I've spoken with 3 different ones saying I have no case and any damages I get is not worth the time....
Your boys riding the bus now no idea what I'm gonna do. Boss is on my ass for being late not having a stable ride is really bad in la. Guess I'll go buy a Honda civic with my 18k yall It's been a great ride thanks for all the info
