I'm not PC, I don't want to be. He was a drunken mexican and that's what I said. That's the end of it.

Difference - It makes him sound like a racist. Although for someone to actually bother mentioning it I wouldn't be suprised if he is.

Seriously - How does his Nationality/Race/Color/Whatever have any merit whatsoever in the conversation? Why even bother mentioning it?

Would you please STFU. This crap is getting ridiculous. You want it laid down properly? Here we go. We are all in America. White people are the majority. If the person that hit his car isn't white, then it is perfectly acceptable, imo, to state what race he is.

Now, if I was visiting mexico and heard a mexican say "Some loco white dude hit my car" I would NOT be offended. After all; there's no POINT in stating the person that his car is white, because if he didn't say so I would assume it true.

Hopefully you kids will all get skooled in manners someday when you flap your jaws without thinking first in front of people that do think it matters.

I think his point is that you wouldn't have mentioned his race if it was a white guy. (I don't think you're a bigot, but I think he's right that mentioning the guy is mexican is a lot less relevant than a lot of things you left out).

yeah i would agree with mugsywwiii

Make them rip the car down before they order any parts, make sure they are not using any remanu parts or aftermarket parts...

Because Mexicans are notorious for no having insurance, not being legal occupants of the US, and generally causing problems. I am not referring to the hard-working, American Citizens who happen to be Mexican. I am referring to the illegals who break the rules at the American Tax Payer's expense.

Back on topic,

Try asking your insurance agent if you can get a salvaged title on the car. From what i understand, they basically buy the car back from you for the price it's worth as a salvage so they can sell the parts off. It's not totalled, but you don't get it back either.

However, make sure you do this before repairs are begun.

On a slightly similar note, i had a similar experience. Was approx. $3k short of having my car totalled myself - i was apprehensive at first. But the shop did a very good job fixing the car it's really hard to tell that it was in an accident, and this even after scrutinizing whatever i could find.

Did you say what kind of car the drunk was driving? Did you say what color it was? Did you say how tall he was?

Those are all facts too, but they're not important. Just like his race. Who gives a rats ass if he's Hispanic, Black, whatever.

It doesn't matter.

But no, you had to mention what race he was and that makes you sound like a biggot because its the only thing about him that you cared mentioning.

Actually it may matter with recent laws passed, such as the one in california allowing illegal immigrants (in this case mostly mexicans) to get drivers licenses.

shouldnt there be compensation from another agency, even if he didnt have insurace?

my friend's car got hit by a vietnamese person who also did not have insurance. i think some federal thing settled it. needless to say, they got in BIG TIME trouble for not having insurance. suckers.

who cares if he said mexican, its not like hes being racist. some oversensitive people in here. geez.

Because it makes you sound like a fvckin biggot, thats why idiot. It's nothing to be proud of.

STFU - your over-sensitive ass can take a hike.

If the guy was juggling cats and had a was ridding a llama when he crashed the car, he would surely mention all the above. If majority of the US were black, then he would mention that the guy was in fact white. Mentioning someones race doesnt not make you racist... only bitching at someone for doing so makes you look like a tool...

The mexican and I are having a toast to your friend's busted up ride.

$3000 short is quite a bit on the RSX, doubtful it gets totalled.

My friend recently got into a car accident. He went to a repair shop that he knows and had it claimed as totaled and received blue book for his car. I think that your friend should get a brand new one since they are never the same once they have been in a car wreck. Plus, the resell value of the car will plummet since the RSX will be considered as a salvaged car (sorta) if it gets restored.

I'm glad your friend is physically OK.

I can see where this post is coming from. In this country, "Mexican" is almost synonymous with "Nig-er." It's a sad commentary but true. How one's country of origin can be so offensive is beyond me but that's the fact. However, I do know that living in Texas and being in the insurance industry, those of Mexican heritage are often uninsured and often carry loads of junk on their pickup trucks which spill their contents on the highway and cause accidents.

I wish it weren't true but it is. Whenever there's a slowdown on the highway and you look to the right lane, there's usually three Mexicans in a pickup "picking up" stuff that has dropped off.
