2 Accidents inside of 5 minutes !!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by windshield_time »

:evil:

No freakin kidding.

I went to pick up my daughter at the local wegmans. Slowed down near the side door and a women in a minivan backed into the right front fender and door of my car !!!!!!!!!!!! I get out to look and the women in the mitsubishi next to her backs in the rear quarter :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

What a feakin day. This was Friday 90 some odd degrees waiting for the cop now my car looks like a battle zone, The front bumper is destroyed from another idiot in a parking lot last year that I never got fixed and now the passenger side looks like my car belongs in a demo derby.

I know this is worth less without pics but I'm working on it. Too busy with so many other things.

Talk about bad luck.

I'm gonna get it all fixed. AND THEN SELL IT !!!!!!! This car is cursed man.

I get in more accidents standing still than I do moving :crybaby:

Ultimately the damage isn't that bad a little dent in the front and a scratch in the back but WTF kinda day.
I've been to jail in 12 different states ! ;)

For Sale at this time.

that blows. Parking lots are the worse to be driving a car in.

I'm glad the insurance we have here covers all damage done to a car due to accidents. If it costs more to fix the car then it does to buy a new one, they will write the car off and give you what the car is worth based on the original condition and millage before the accident.

I was parked at work and on the last day of school an E.M.T.A bus (Erie Metro Transit Authority) side swiped her bus with the rear passenger side of my car. $1,240 Worth of damage. It cracked my spoiler, cracked my tail light and marked up my bumper.

My car goes in Monday to start getting it fixed.

I work part time washing cars there at Champion Ford, so I am getting a few spots where the paint is bubbling and a rust spot fixed for free!! Front of the Hood (bad primer), under gas cap, and bottom of one of my doors :banana:
