That's it guys, hate to say this but I think the new Civic is cursed

. Mine just got smashed today near my house.

- to make it short, left my house around noon today, near the shopping centre, I was going straight around 50km, cars were behind and in front of me, got to the intersection with both STOP signs on left and rite. The car in front got thru but when I was alsmost half way thru, one black BMW on the right just went straight ahead and T-bone me!

- The Civic took it pretty bad, side airbag deployed. I was OK and got out at once, all shaking. Made the 000 call becoz my gf couldn't breath and was panic. They sent 3 police patrol, ambulance and a fire truck!.

- After few minutes my gf got calmed down by the ambo crew and was able to walk on her own, they checked on her and found no injuries, just shocked and her chest is little bit in pain (maybe the seat belt?). The said she should be OK and no need to go to hospital, it's near Bankstown.

- There were 2 or 3 woman in the BMW, all in tears. The driver was trapped for awhile becoz her foot was cut but nothing major. She was also able to walk out by herself and they took her to the hospital.

This is my first time invovled in such an accident, been driving for around 10 years in the old Corrola without a scratch! My head still buzzing and got no idead what to do about the insurance and suchs. The police called tow trucks from one of the locals in Bankstown and they towed both there, M & S Smash Repair I believe.

The police took the statements and I was told the other driver was at total fault. They will make a report and call me later to give me the number so I can call NRMA. They also said the car is a write-off in their opinion.

Took some quick snaps on my mobile, let me know what you guys think. I have no experience in this so all the helps will be appreciated

The car is still all stock, only put in the foggies by BK Auto here earlier this year. Tried to call him to get some advices but he was unavilable.

This is all sh*t!. The weather been great all week and I just detailed the whole car few days ago with some tips I got from aarong.

-The BMW is also a new car, all airbags were deployed around the car, quite a sight I must say! Man, it came in fast, all I could see was the head of it and BANG!!!

What worry me is my car sitting in the smash repair shop, I told them don't touch or do anything. Also called NRMA and told them I'm waiting for the police to call, NRMA said that M & S one is their authorized repairer.

The important thing is all are OK, I told my gf to go check tmr just to be sure.

Guess what civic_07?

wow what the hell is going on, my civic that was 9 months old got smashed before too.

i'll post up the pics for you to see... Btw, my civic was declared a total loss. A pillar was damaged, both wheels bent in so suspension was gone. The engine was damaged too.

I ended up getting a completely new replacement vehicle. Accident was not my fault...
