Last night while delivering pizza I went screech smash boom kazam pow biff shatter (and other cartoon noises) and was in a crash.

For a second I saw my life flash before my eyes, and then I realized it was the airbag exploding in my face in a split second, because the next time I looked, the airbag was dangling from my steering wheel. They explode so fast you barely see it.

The lady in one car seemed to be okay. But when the cops showed up 10 minutes later (and by that time people could have been dead, great response time you guys!) and then a firetruck and two ambulances and two tow trucks, I got a little freaked out. One of the cars was barely scratched (the other car had bumped into her during the crash) but she said she had neck pain (whiplash probably), and some of the occupants of the car I had hit were whining about aches and pains, probably so they have something to sue over later.

Then this sassy older lady showed up and asked me if I was the driver of the other car, and when I said yes she told me I had to pay for ALL her damages. I told her that was what insurance is for and she said "Don't get sassy with me, I'll sue you, I'll take you to court!" I told her to go fuck herself and the police officer and the tow truck drivers had to pull her away from me, the stupid bitch. She CAN'T sue me, it's state law. And if she doesn't have insurance, it's her fault, so she can go fuck herself. Anyway, her car's driveable, it only has a bent fender and body panels, probably $500 or less.... my car has a leaky radiator, badly bent fenders and bumper, and my airbag deployed, so my costs are probably going to be in the thousands... she needs to pay for MY car, since I can't drive it anymore.

So they took several people to the hospital to chell them out. I bet bitch woman will try to hire some dick of a personal injury attorney because she seems the type to try to get rich off of poor people like me. She might even try to sue my work, but I never let her know I was on the job.

My nose and thumb are sore (from the airbag most likely) and it sucks not having a car but I'll be fine.

I should have heeded the warning from the last repair place where I took my car that my brakes were frozen. I did notice they took longer to brake at times and sometimes locked up or skidded.

I had turned my head to look for an address number so I could deliver my pizza on a 40mph road, I turn back to see some woman pulling out of a parking lot entrance in front of me. I wasn't able to stop in time, and rammed her back fender and bumper. Like I said, only her bumper and fender are bent up. The front of my car is fucked. The engine's fine but the radiator, front bumper area, hood, and airbags have to be fixed. Cost more than the car's worth I bet...it's a good car though.

Oh, and the windshield got shattered (but didn't come apart) when the passenger airbag cover shot upwards into it.

I'm still waiting for my insuarance chell on my totaled car. My air bag didn't deploy, the guy I hit wasn't an asshole either. He knew it wasn't my fault that some shit bag had stopped to look at people on the side of the road in front of him. I wish I had hit that fuck stain instead and then they'd had the gall to say something to me. I'd fucking powet bomb them into the concrete, tear my sleeves off my shirt, put one of them on top of my head like a bandanna, rob a convenience store for some cheap sunglasses and spending cash, before heading to old mexico.

When your brakes are messing up, you should get them fixed immediately. BAH.

So... uh, who's fault was this again?

IDE · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 12, 2007, 02:10:56 AM »

mine was legally my fault and his probably is too

It sure sounds that way, but hell, I'll wait and see what he says.

The D · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 13, 2007, 01:19:23 PM »

Negative. She pulled out in front of me.

My nose still hurts... guess I'll have to get it x-rayed.

And they still have not checked out my car at the body shop. Hopefully my insurance will pay for it.

Oh yea, and the owner of the other car has not much of a case against me. For one thing, if she's not insured she's fucked, because you have to have insurance to drive around here. Plus, she wasn't driving the car, nor was she in the car when it was driving. So the owner has to explain to her insurance why she was loaning her car out to someone else, even if it's family. And if the driver of the car was uninsured, she's double-fucked.

Not my problem. If anything SHE owes ME.

B E C K · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 13, 2007, 04:37:59 PM »

Dude, I'm confused. She reversed out of the entrance to a parking lot? Not out of a parking space? Or out of a space and through the entrance.

The D · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 14, 2007, 02:13:26 PM »

nonono.... she pulled out of a parking lot going forward and obviously didn't see me driving down the road.

And cost is about $2000 with everything including paint. I think I could cut it down enough to get it to $1000 and hope my insurance pays for it.

Yeah see here in florida if you rear end someone in the manner you described then it's your fault. If she had time to get her tail end out onto the road for you to hit it then you fucked up is how the law would see that here. I don't know why you keep wondering "if" she has a case against you. Every time I've been in accident the police officer has made the call on who is at fault right there on the spot.

If you're willing to get a lawyer, they can always overturn it.

Even the rear ending thing?

The rear ending thing is the same thing here. Which I think is kinda BS because I've lost count of the assholes I've almost rear ended cause they couldn't wait for an opening to pull out and cut me off.

Of course. Lookit OJ.

IDE · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 17, 2007, 09:03:55 PM »

Unless OJ had a rear ending over turned I don't think this is negotiable. It's easier to get away with murder than to convince someone that you didn't rear end the car when you clearly did.

You know...on reading through my post again, I couldn't help but have a perverted giggle or two.

$2000 to fix the car, and that's if they cut the airbags out and don't replace them, and they don't paint the new body panels.

I may buy another car but the one I'm looking at he wants $1500 for a 93 escort.... I would think it would be more worth $500 but Blue Book price says $1300. I may be able to get it down to $1000 then.

Edit: He he.. I just noticed the Escort's VIN number has FAPP in it... it must be a sign!

I really want to buy a pre-leased car with under 50k miles and the warranty still intact, but I doubt I could afford the monthly payments on a loan. :/

I'd be willing to take this car, I saw it in a nearby lot, if I had 6 grand.

So it was legally your fault? If it wasn't why would you care how much it costs to fix the car?

Maybe go back to school to do something more substantive than delivering greasy, cheese-covered discs?

this is gay ass shit. I've been hearing that the car market's in a slump and this is the best time to get a vehicle, but I have trouble believing that when the cheapest car I saw was $900 and that was because the transmission was wrecked on it.
