Minor Accident : I'm only moderately ****ed

[thelinja]

I swear people need to pay attention to what they're doing. I was waiting to turn left (east) out onto a busy 4 lane highway. Just sitting there waiting for an opening...then WHAM!! I look to see a Dodge Spirit pinned up against my car by a Town&Country. The Dodge was waiting to turn left into the shopping center and was motioned to do so by a car on the inside lane of the two westbound lanes. The kid in the Spirit didn't see the Chysler van in the outside westbound lane. He went, the van T-boned him and pushed him into the front of my car. The good thing is that everyone was OK. Tomorrow I have to go pick up some accident forms and send them to my insurance company. I'm going to need a new hood and a new bumper. I'm glad no lights were busted, I know those things are expensive. Here's some pics of the battle scars. I hate to see my baby like this.:(
Try this: go to the folder entitled "stupid hautians." blah (http://photos.yahoo.com/thelinja)
I know the damage doesn't look bad, but almost the whole driver side of the front of the bumper is scuffed and scratched to hell.

Sorry to hear about your bruised baby :( At least nobody was hurt. They had insurance, right? I'm glad no lights were busted & no frame damage. What's the deal w/ people getting into wrecks lately? I'm getting scared to drive!

Last week I was trying to pass a semi on the highway (3 lanes wide--he was in the middle lane & I was trying to pass him on the left) and I was right next to his trailer and his turn signal comes on and he starts moving over. I knew he wouldn't hear my horn & I wouldn't have time to finish passing him so I slammed on my brakes (nobody was behind me luckily) and had to let him cut me off. I was right next to a concrete divider so I couldn't cut left anymore--he almost sandwiched me between himself and the divider. DIPSHIT DRIVERS SUCK!!!!!!!

Once again, sorry to hear about the accident. Let us know what the estimates are. I'm thinking around $1100-$1200 (new front bumper cover/paint/clearcoat, repair corner of hood/paint/clearcoat--don't think they'll replace it but I can't tell how badly that corner's kinked, realign PS headlight).

I'm glad your dad wasn't injured badly. Healing a collarbone can be difficult, though. I hope he's not too sore tomorrow.

hmm too many accidents as of late, I guess spring time is getting to everyones heads.

Anyways hope everything works out good for you, and sorry to hear about your dad MorganS13, hope he recovers quick.

There HAVE been quite a few accidents lately. Glad to see its not ALL bad. Maybe I couldn't see it, by why do you need a new hood?

Glad your dad is okay!

Alright, I was checking out the damage again today and I noticed the driver side headlight was pushed in a little. Upon further inspection I noticed one of the support arms is broken. The headlight itself isn't broken, just one of the ars that holds it in place. I got all of the insurance BS done. I just need to get some estimates. Hopefully all will be well in a couple of weeks.
