Ouch, that's painful to see, especially to a fellow Le Mans Blue!
Crashing at the track and claiming you crashed on the road is insurance fraud and quite likely a felony punishable by imprisonment. Your insurance company has reps on this board and will talk to the track organizers at your event this weekend...so tell the truth or you're gonna end up needing some of longwong's oil to lube your rear end for all the punishment you are about to receive.
^ Shit just got real :popcorn:
Ok now I'll admit I'm intrigued:

OP has just edited an accident thread from 2010 and admits to crashing this car already 2x.

Some other silly posts too; something just doesn't seem right here.......

Tell us more. So this didn't just happen and this is an epic troll?
Are we in the presense of a master troll? One all others bow before.

Yeah car has been in accidents before. Nothing as bad as this tho. Does the insurance company consider that when valuing a car for total loss reference?
you said the car went on fire before no? From the pyro batt cable in the trunk?

And no, the insurance company will not factor the prior repairs into the total loss value (unless the repairs were completed poorly and look bad) which then will devalue the car based on condition.

Yeah previous car. That one was totaled from the fire and the insurance company gave me replacement value. I was able to find another car I liked with less miles. That accident was NOT my fault and neither is this. You probably think I crash all the time now but I am telling you I am a good driver they were all no-fault accidents.
Not really such a thing if you are an advanced driver.

OP, are you sure you want to be posting pics of your wreck and at the same time talking about how you just maintained the brakes yourself? I'm sure you'll mention brake failure to your insurance and given the amount of money involved here, they may just dig around a little more on this one than on a normal claim.

Bickering on this thread aside, when you talk about how easy it is to do brake maintenance and then this happens, you do look like an asshat. Please stick to wiper-blade replacements and leave anything more complicated to the professionals.
Hmmm. Didn't even think of that. Yikes, do insurance companies check forums?
Now I get the Purple Derple reference in the GTR thread...

Shop said master cylinder failed. That explains why the pedal sank when I stepped on it. The seals look bad he said. WTF.
Man, I find it more than weird that you had that happen the day (hours?) after you did the brakes yourself. I never never hard of a master cylinder completely failing like this but I guess it can happen?? :confused:

What I find even weirder is that he edited his old accident thread (from 2010) either right before or right after this accident. OP: What was the reason for that? :confused2
Edited from what? Curious what the changes were exactly.

I'm guessing the OP was just embarassed with 2 accidents?
