I'm so glad you were able to prove this an thank God for your witness. This guy was a true scum bag an I'm sure if the guy was nice enough the cops would have never had to been called and you guys would have been able to work something out between the two of you.
I concur with all of the comments about getting a dash cam - but not for traffic incidents. I could totally see you getting some fun footage when you're driving (and drifting) to include in your videos.
@@TinyTurboVW I grew up in southern Illinois, can confirm. If it makes you feel any better, Texas is by far way worse and there's a 90% chance of them hit and running you around here.
You do us young guys with modified cars justice by being cool and level headed in the aftermath of the collision. Thanks for that. It never goes well for younger drivers, let alone younger drivers with modified cars, I agree that a car cam is a must if you want any sort of legal resolve. Thank goodness for that witness that had your back. Be safe out there man.
i'm not a car guy, but i do youtube stuff too, and really love your videos, how natural are you on camera and the content is amazing keep up the good work cheer mate
Old people are the worst to get into an accident with. I was in my dads S10, stopped in front of a flagger on the highway who had my lane stopped to let the other lane by. I happen to glance in my rearview mirror and see a silver car coming in hot, so I hold the brakes and sit back in the seat completely. The elderly woman slammed on her brakes and steered toward the ditch to our right, flying by me bouncing through an enormous ditch after clipping the back passenger side of my dads truck. The flagger about shit himself and was prepared to jump out of the way but luckily he didn't have to. She said she was gawking to the left and didn't notice the flagger or myself. I got calls from her husband trying to convince me to not file an insurance claim, even after explaining to him it wasn't my truck so I can't make that call, he kept calling and treating me like a piece of shit, like I caused all of this. I think he knew she could lose her license due to her age/previous incidents or something.
Another story of an elderly person blaming others for their crash: I had just got on my motorcycle to leave the post office and noticed a car backing up behind me, I could have left going forward but wasn't in a hurry so I'm sitting there watching them back up. The car got backed up and was about to put it in drive, right as another car driving down the parking lane slammed into the rear of their car. The elderly guy got out and started acting like they had backed up into him, that he was not at fault. He noticed me and realized I saw the whole thing. He repeatedly came up to me and said I can go now, trying to get me to leave the scene and be on my way, so it would be a he said/she said situation. He was very upset when I offered to be a witness to the ladies in the car that got hit by him and he still kept trying to get me to leave to the point of harassment.
@@randomhero123 Those were Boomers you were dealing with in both situations. They're an entire generation of sociopaths. They can't die off soon enough.
@@LindaPls I've lived in Houston, TX for 5-6 years now and holy fuck, a dashcam is basically a requirement or you WILL get fucked by someone. I had two motorcycles and a car totaled by hit and runs. There's a 90% chance of them running around here, dashcam is the only way to prove anything, even if they actually stop and exchange info you know they'll lie about what happened.
Man, I admire the fact that you kept your cool and you didn't get the ticket. It could have been a lot worse. At least you're safe. And stay that way. Keep up the good work, bro. Glad being part of this journey (ever since the crash happened). By the way, once you are finally done with the 240sx, you should paint it dark blue (the dark blue of the hood and the left fender for reference, they need to be refreshed as well). It looks more fitting, in my opinion, and it'll match with the spoiler and the valve cover.
Definitely his bumper did it right where u pointed at the edge where the bumper screws up to the fender on the caddie. That's the amazing thing with pearl white paint, there multiple layers of white so it takes more to wear through. Definitely go to court and make sure u track his date because some will reschedule it and you won't be notified of new court dates.
feel ur pain someone hit into my Z when I wasnt even in it. left it for 10 seconds to get something off a family friend who was outside and by the time i turn around and it got hit by their neighbors backing out lol. same shit too, super defensive elderly people, but i did apparently choose a bad place to park lol
Good thing nothing major happened to the 300zx. I was in a similar situation and the person that hit me didn't even stop. A dashcam is a must have for everyone. Good luck.
the audacity of that old dude to smash into you and then have the cheek to lie about it and gaslight you. do not miss the court date and make sure the arsehole gets what's deserved.
sucks to see the paint all screwed up. ik the car needed a respray, but the paint was still in good enough condition, and it looked good. im sorry youve had so many issues with collisions. keep up the good content mike.
Sucks what happens with your 300. If I was in your shoes, I would have a difficult time trying to keep my cool. But you did and I highly respect that. I love your videos and keep making more. Don’t let stuff like this let get you down!
Last week a guy backed up into my freshly painted 99 ek civic.. he had no insurance and I had a replacement drivers side door so I just walked away.. dude was doing door dash and was watching his phone while backing up on a busy street.. he did admit it was he's fault... Stay safe out there and remember every body is out to ruin your nice project car....
Tip, instead of welding a bolt or nut directly to a broken bolt, weld a wide washer on, to get a good weld onto the broken stud, then weld a nut around the outside onto the washer, if that makes sense.. welding down the middle of a nut very rarely works.. Good to see ya got em all out, keep up the good work! Cheers from New Zealand!
I wouldn’t worry about him mike, he’s literally not worth the time and the 300 is literally gunna be the best when it’s done!! Trust the process and everything that comes with it bro your a great guy!!
Great you had a witness!! This almost exactly what happened to me!! But thankfully the dashcam footage helped the guy reverse his story of, "You're new here huh.. You rammed me!" His insurance paid for my cars repairs. About 2 months later the guard (Irish popo) rang me and asked where I got my dash cam, he said, "that footage was unbelievably good!" I was just using a second hand GoPro at the time. :D I'm a bit lazier now and have a half decent 1080P dash cam that automatically starts recording and saves on impact. That €200 GoPro saved me about 5 grand!
Brother invest in some front and rear dash cams. You can hardwire them hide them all that. Your vehicles seem like investments to you along with hobbies and love. Dash cam is worth the investment.
Had the exakt same Situation with a retired couple in my work van. The also sideswiped me in a S-construction narrowing. They blamed me for everything. 2 years of Court/Justice/Insurance action later my opponent insurance sued my company insurance and i had to go to court as a witness for my companies insurance. The verdict was already prewritten because I drove on left lane (My van was to broad for the left lane). So the opponents insurance got the money from my insurance. After another accident 2 years later I have a dashcam.
It's incidents like this that make me not ever want to drive a car on the road. Always roll with a dashcam. The police will not help you. In fact in cases such as this, the police can actually hurt you in court. I personally had an instance where the other party side swiped my car. They we're issued a ticket for no drivers license and the police report actually said that I was the one at fault. This was a complete disaster for me. With no dashcam footage, I had no way to prove my case. So my car still bares the damage to this day. The other party did not show up for court, the case was thrown out. The judge cited that, there was damage under $2,000 done to my vehicle. And that was that. Case dismissed.
Oh now more 300zx content what will we ever do, It's the car that keeps giving, just like the 240 also can we talk about how he wiped the paint off his car and rid of evidence
I think everybody has already suffered once with drivers/riders like this, my dad bought a 2021 Gray Metallic Volkswagen sedan last year, Brand new with 30,000km on it, 2 months in and a biker smashed his right mirror, he was moving and couldn't stop to get the mirror cover that got thrown away. He got a new mirror and 2 weeks after a biker lost control in the rain and shunted into his rear bumper, breaking it in the process, he's waiting for the new bumper to arrive and get painted, still to this day, even tho my dad tried polishing, there's still red paint from the motorcycle in the bumper
Fr when my brothers car was written off by a drunk and high driver who drove head on into him they tried to find reasons to say my brothers car was un-road worthy, he had a dash cam and everything that caught the whole crash. Thank God there were witnesses and heaps of reports of the other driver driving reckless prior to that, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
I like the way you say you want to leave this car in factory paint, and then you get scratches all over the side. I hope it will go away when polishing
That's why I have dash cams in my cars. Walmart has a few. Their brand ON is...ok. But i also have cobra and Scosche. The Scosche one has a big screen but it's mini usb and kinda sucks. Soon to have rear facing as well. And i have that same Viper toy car
Auto trans cars sometimes have cable actuator or solenoid on the gear selector so you can't put it into gear without pressing the brakes. So check the fuse panel for a blown fuse or even near/under the gear selector's interior pieces.
They will always put us at fault because not only are we young but because we have a “fast looking” car so everyone ALWAYS assumes that we’re speeding and definitely at fault
Well you said it at 5:34 Fact is the law and insurances term younger people, new drivers, and overly aged drivers as "high risk" for causing more accidents. Worst yet the kind of car you drive, the condition of it, the condition on YOU (yeah they will profile and have a presumption based on that) Just get dash cams for the cars. Heck, I'm sure some company can sponsor something. But it is an investment that will go a long way with you, especially with what you have.
This exact instance is the reason all my vehicles have front and rear facing dash cams. Had a woman pull out of a parking lot and into luckily only the wheel of my truck, but she said I switched lanes when I did not. Cops showed up got her side, instead of me explaining my side I showed them the video of what happened. No arguing with a video.
Time to invest in a good dash cam I think 😅 don’t cheap out on them either. I’ve had a cheap one and it was horrible. Then paid nearly 1k for a 4k front and rear setup and it’s perfect, super clear footage. No mistaking who hit who in a situation like that
Hey Mike you probably wont see this but if you wet sand and buff it'll be minimal damage looks to be removable or try a clay bar with some lubricant. That should be the best result for that paint if you want it back.
Same thing happened to me I got side swiped 2 days after finishing the build and guy lied said I turned into him now I have to go to court for all of it 🤦♂️ glad your good tho man fr 🙏
Quick tip , your Gloria needs a brake pedal switch to sort that shifter issue . 💯 get a dash cam . Had it happen to me with a motorbike who was ripping down the double yellow centre lines , 8k on a lawyer and it's gone but that was a sh#t experience
I really recommend getting a dashcam with both a front and back view so this type of situation can be resolved much easily and prove you to be the victim and not the suspect.
Typical reaction it seems with fender benders these days 😢 I had one recently with an older lady and luckily she took full blame and even called her insurance right away. I hope it's easy moving forward for you.
In my only accident we both got tickets but the other driver had to pay my damages because he was still at fault. It's always a nightmare that's why it's good to have insurance so they can deal with that.
uh oh, title doesnt sound too good, hope all is well :) Edit: after reviewing the footage and recreation, lesson learned is treat all other road users like they have a mopar daily, no hate just truth
The reason you have to pull-down on that red thing. On the shifter and the Gloria, this is just me. Guessing my old focus was an automatic. And when my tail lights went out, you had to point the key into the shifter interlock in order to pull back the shifter. So I'm guessing where the car was rendered. It's tripping the shift interlock in the Gloria.
10:28 i feel your pain bro, just recently had a similar problem with my car, but seeing how much rust damage you have to fix i would suggest you find a way to tip the car 90º because you have a lot of work there.
I seriously hate stuff like that Mike. Two months ago I was heading to work and some dude slammed into my car (93 civic coupe) and drove off, causing me to not get any insurance money or anything. Absolutely devastated man, front end was messed up, rear end was messed up, subframe bent, the car got pretty banged up. After working all summer and getting parts for it, I may finally get her back on the road and I'm honestly so excited, this is my first car and I'm dying to drive it again bro. Ignorant people are the worst man. Anyways, glad he's getting ticketed for it and facing the consequences.
I'm an 18-year-old and proudly own a 2019 Toyota Gt86 TRD Special Edition. I was driving in heavy traffic and basically, this lady cut into my lane at a high rate of speed. I called the cops immediately after calling my parents to let them know what happened. Basically, no witnesses stopped or anything, and I kinda was left to fight for myself. I told the State Trooper what happened and the lady was given the ticket and was put at fault. Which I later found out that the lady told the cop that I merged into her lane and hit her. It sucks that people don't want to own up to their mistakes. But when my car returns, I will definitely be getting a dashcam.
12:35 THE GOLD S15??? GIMME, i have only the black and yellow one, all i miss is the gold and white ones (and the red one which is a TARGET special, but we dont have Targets in europe)
I used to own a 240z about 25 years ago, it kept getting hit, over and over. one SUV driver backed over my hood as I was getting gas another crunched my driver's front quarter panel while I was backing into a parking space.
Even when Mike is mad he still can’t bring himself to be mean to someone. Good heart in him. Glad that guy got served for it
I'm so glad you were able to prove this an thank God for your witness. This guy was a true scum bag an I'm sure if the guy was nice enough the cops would have never had to been called and you guys would have been able to work something out between the two of you.

100000% get a dashcam my dude. I can't stand dishonest people. At least own up to it man...
👍
Def would get a dashcam and line it up in the back to have a view of whole interior and all windows
My boy even had the tear away lens cleaner on the spray gun light 😂😂 next level stuff right there
Typical reaction it seems with fender benders these days 😢 I had one recently with an older lady and luckily she took full blame and even called her insurance right away. I hope it's easy moving forward for you.
In my only accident we both got tickets but the other driver had to pay my damages because he was still at fault. It's always a nightmare that's why it's good to have insurance so they can deal with that.
uh oh, title doesnt sound too good, hope all is well :)
Edit: after reviewing the footage and recreation, lesson learned is treat all other road users like they have a mopar daily, no hate just truth
lmaoooo
The reason you have to pull-down on that red thing. On the shifter and the Gloria, this is just me. Guessing my old focus was an automatic. And when my tail lights went out, you had to point the key into the shifter interlock in order to pull back the shifter. So I'm guessing where the car was rendered. It's tripping the shift interlock in the Gloria.
10:28 i feel your pain bro, just recently had a similar problem with my car, but seeing how much rust damage you have to fix i would suggest you find a way to tip the car 90º because you have a lot of work there.
I seriously hate stuff like that Mike.
Two months ago I was heading to work and some dude slammed into my car (93 civic coupe) and drove off, causing me to not get any insurance money or anything.
Absolutely devastated man, front end was messed up, rear end was messed up, subframe bent, the car got pretty banged up.
After working all summer and getting parts for it, I may finally get her back on the road and I'm honestly so excited, this is my first car and I'm dying to drive it again bro.
Ignorant people are the worst man. Anyways, glad he's getting ticketed for it and facing the consequences.
I'm an 18-year-old and proudly own a 2019 Toyota Gt86 TRD Special Edition. I was driving in heavy traffic and basically, this lady cut into my lane at a high rate of speed. I called the cops immediately after calling my parents to let them know what happened. Basically, no witnesses stopped or anything, and I kinda was left to fight for myself. I told the State Trooper what happened and the lady was given the ticket and was put at fault. Which I later found out that the lady told the cop that I merged into her lane and hit her. It sucks that people don't want to own up to their mistakes. But when my car returns, I will definitely be getting a dashcam.
12:35 THE GOLD S15??? GIMME, i have only the black and yellow one, all i miss is the gold and white ones (and the red one which is a TARGET special, but we dont have Targets in europe)
About the dash cams, concidering your luck on the roads, I would strongly recommend yeah

I used to own a 240z about 25 years ago, it kept getting hit, over and over.
one SUV driver backed over my hood as I was getting gas
another crunched my driver's front quarter panel while I was backing into a parking space.
Yes, get a dash cam! It saved me my clean RSX when i got t-boned… i got the insurance money and bought a Subaru Legacy GT eheh
