The wife and I got into a car accident today.
Like I didn't have enough pain cause of the surgery and stuff I've been going through over the past 3 months?!?!?!?!
We were on our way to look at a house in west milford and most likely put an offer on it.
We were sitting in traffic in a 2009 Mercedes CLK350 cabriolet - 0 mph - I look in the rear view mirror and see a car coming really fast up on us, I know it ain't stopping, I yell "Oh *****!" and BAM!!!!!!
I tensed up - wife didn't.... good for her.... bad for me.
She hit us at around 40 mph... she never hit the brakes.... she was paying attention to her kid in the back seat.
2005 Kia vs. 2009 Benz = BENZ FTW!!!
Her car is totaled.
Benz looks fine except for a scratched bumper - I looked under the car and the entire tray that the spare tire sits in is cracked and smashed. Roll bar bits popped up.
The wife was taken to the hospital via ambulance - she was on a backboard and neck brace all tied down.
I had enough anger and adreniline in me that I didn't have much pain in me then....and it slowly got worse later.
I drove the benz all the way to the hospital.
She had x rays for the neck and was released.
I had x rays on my neck and left shoulder and had a cat scan on my stomach, had an iv, blood work etc and was finally released.
She has a bit of pain in her neck.
I'm in mo fo pain - neck, back, shoulders, stomach - specifically where I had the recent surgery, headache etc.
As for the lady.... well.... F her.
I'm glad I was in a company car. Yay Mercedes!
Some people complain about a price tag of $50K+, well... I say it is worth every single penny.
I would hate to see how we would have been if we were in her hyundai elantra or my trans am.
Pic's to be posted soon.
