So guess who got in an accident on their last day of spring break?

kinda feel bad for the other guy, something had to have busted there was fluid all over the street & he had his wife & 2 kids in the car

i on the other hand had just passed my parents going the other way & had the gf in the car

sucks man but least you and ur girl are alright coulda always been worse

Jersey_TA · 03-12-2007, 03:30 AM

Atleast everyone was ok. That really sucks though.

GP99GT · 03-12-2007, 08:06 AM

i had a dream last night that someone ran into the back of my car. weird. that sucks though

alexm · 03-12-2007, 08:39 AM

as everyone has said atleast everyone is ok, cars can be fixed. But that is some way to finish spring break......

your lucky, doesnt look like the quarter panel got to effed up, and now you have an excuse to do a berger panel

glad your ok but ya gotta look at the bright side, you car can get some new paint for free. my 88 camaro was hit in so many minor accidents when it was my DD that like 85% of the car ended up with new paint lol bad driver FTW

is that brake fluid under his car? kinda looks like it.. im not sure that trying to swerve around to the left of you was the best idea... if he didnt hit you he could have gone into on coming traffic. but im sure its tough to think about stuff like that as it happens. glad everyones ok.

i told my dad to ask the body shop to paint the panel flat black if possible

the fluid started leaking after the accident, there was a huge splatter from where he hit me and then after he hit me his car kept rolling like it clipped me so when he stopped there was another nice puddle

he didn't swerve to go around me, i was pulling into a parking lot with a rather narrow entrance and stopped to allow the car that was already there to pull out. when he hit me i was angled to pull in, he said he never saw me stop & this is the result

i got a taillight for you.

Knipps · 03-12-2007, 01:01 PM

other guy has to pay for it so i'm letting a shop take care of it all

baddest434 · 03-12-2007, 03:41 PM

damn ryan that blows. but like everyone said you guys are alright thats what matters.

Knipps · 03-12-2007, 03:47 PM

gf had a sore neck for the day but says everything's ok now
she didn't want to mention it at the scene because she said she didn't want to complicate things... she's also a softball pitcher [start of practices], SATs that morning, & state testing during the previous school week so she couldn't deny it was partially stress related

everyone's fine though as far as i know
i reported it to the insurance company [& the other guy has the same one]
NJ Manufacturer's

we'll see what happens guys, & thanks

My brother's car got rear ended pulling into a parking lot in Dec. People follow too closely and then don't estimate correctly how far you have pulled off the road. That sucks. I bet he was distracted by someone in his vehicle.

ps - it looks like his vehicle is leaking some blinker fluid!

Awwww.....I am sorry to hear....why was it totaled? I feel your pain though.

Jersey_TA · 04-04-2007, 03:44 PM

Oh man, that sucks

V · 04-04-2007, 06:50 PM

usually you can buy back for 10% of the payout. dont hand over the title to anyone until you are 100% set on what you are going to do.

maroman88 · 04-04-2007, 07:16 PM

holy crap thats all it took to total it?!? im glad i dont have ur insurance co/appraiser lol i woulda had every car ive had totaled
