Bummer. Sam's club has a similar program. Are you a member of either?

I have some relatives who are memebers of both. I'll have to look into it.
Do you know anybody who has used it?

 

[syadasti]

No I just heard about it on some auto forum - I think Edmunds townhall. I haven't bought a car in a while.

 

[Downhiller]

i am glad that everyone is ok....

Yes, but you have to buy them in packs of 8

Check Craig's List as well as Vehix.

 

[brungeman]

What I owe on the car is pretty much what it's worth.

It's going to be close either way. If they give me the money to fix it I'm just going to pay off the loan and sell it to the junk yard.
the 2 The air bags alone are a lot of money to replace.
2 head lights
2 turn signals
grille
2 fenders
possibly 1 door
2 frame out riggers
1 hood
fan on the front of the radiator
bumper
The front engine compartment unibody took a bad hit too.

that is a shame Stosh... I am pretty bummed for you... did you pick up a rental yet? gotsta have some wheels mang!!!

I like the Xterra's but the MPG for me just doesn't work with how many miles I commute every day... I wish I could have one, but if you get another I will just live vicariously through you! Oh and I like that new Toyota retro FJ40 landcruiser thing they are bringing out... that is pretty sweet to but $$$pensive

My parents live locally and have 4 cars and 2 drivers so I borrowed one of their cars. I don't have car rental on my insurance plan.
Yeah the Fj's are out of my price range.

The Xterra works great for us, my fiancee only drives 5miles to work. The Xterra is great for hauling all our camping gear and bikes when we go on road trips. I've been very happy with it!!!

Actually, I could probably re-mount the bumper, there are 3 bolts on each side of the bumper that mount the bumper to the frame. 4 of the 6 bolts sheered off.


The engine was still purring like a kitten after we got it. The engine compartment was barely touched.

Your frame is likely not bent, if the bolts sheared. If it is, it's not horribly bent (that, of course is subjective, since any bent sucks and I wouldn't want back) and they can fix it. That's a good reason to not weld bumpers. Were they grade 8 bolts that broke??? It doesn't look like a total to me.

 

[JRB]

My guess is less than $3000 to fix.

if you need an Xterra to fit yr camping gear, i'd hate to see the size of yr packs.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Keep this in mind next time - if you have time, head for the ditch. Ditches are less damaging than collisions almost* every single time.

*Don't head for the ditch if there are trees in it.

Psst - camping is different than backpacking.

 

[bluebug32]

I hope things are going well for you, Stosh. I'm passing on the drive down the HV and am staying in Seneca Falls until they clear some of the snow.

 

[Westy]

Psst - camping is different than backpacking.

I use the same stuff except adding a lantern chair and table, and instead of a Nalgene full of Wild Turkey I bring beer, lots of beer.

Yeah. I used to as well. But now I have a 6-person dome tent, two burner Coleman stove, nice big cushy sleeping pads.............

And food. $hitloads of food.

 

[hooples3]

wow stosh sorry to hear about your misfortune... i am happy to hear that youy and aubrey are ok, as well as the other driver and her baby... i think either way you should dump the car.. it will never run the same even once fixed...
good luck let me know how you make out

 

[TreeSaw]

Yikes! Glad to hear you are all ok.

 

[H8R]

oh we got a perscription for vicadin, I guess the trip to the ER wasn't all bad.
j/k

Dude, stay away from the evil V.

That stuff will really give you the blues.


Sorry about your Nissan but the important thing is you and everyone else is ok.

 

[golgiaparatus]

Damn! Glad you are okay.

 

[stosh]

Damn! Glad you are okay.

Thanks man!
Now I just have to sit around and wait to hear from the insurance company.

 

[JRB]

Hey - can you guys quit hugging stosh and get back to camping, please???

*did you get the cranks, stosh???

 

[stosh]

Yes I did, they look good. I was hoping I could use the rings from my XT cranks but that doesn't seem to be possible.

 

[JRB]

Nope - Shimano kind of screwed everyone on XTR rings. If you put chainring bolts in and change the spider, those rings still have a little life in them though. They certainly weren't skipping.

Ok I'm a little undecided on what to do at this point. I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out.

Keep any additional money you would send as a contribution to your deductible, once you know what's up with your truck. You will likely need that little bit of cash more than I will, in the near future.

 

[Rockland]

Sorry Stosh. Getting hit is no fun.

 

[stosh]

Ha, I'll send ya some more money if I want them. Thanks in advance!

 

[Echo]

Damn stosh! Glad to hear you and Aubrey are OK

 

[stosh]

Thanks everybody!

 

[JRB]

Ha, I'll send ya some more money if I want them. Thanks in advance!

Am I not speaking clearly enough??? I am telling you that they are yours. :mumble:

*If you don't use them, just find someone who can.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Thanks everybody!

Hey man, glad y'all are ok. sorry about your Xterra though.

 

[jacksonpt]

Stosh - how can you afford an 05 4Runner but not an 07 FJ Cruiser? The FJC are cheaper than the 4Runner... is the 4Runner a demo or something?

The FJ's aren't for sale yet.

Do you have the check from the insurance company yet?

true, but you can order them now and have one of the first ones to hit your dealership.

A 4x4 4Runner is going be be $pendy... but I've heard there are some good discounts on them... don't know how good though.
