OT: Arrrrgh!

So I'm driving home yesterday like I usually do...

..I'm driving down Lafayette and as I get close to the intersection right before Bunger, some girl pulls out right in front of me (intersection of N. Roosevelt and Lafayette). It's raining, it's cold; there was no way I could stop in time. I slam on the brakes and swerve the best I can. Oblivious to the fact that she pulled out in front of me about 3 car-lengths away, I tag the rear passenger tire of her car and spin her around.

I respond with the ever-popular 'MF-bomb'.

I'm ok, she's ok, no one got hurt. I totaled her car (which still had paper plates). My father-in-law estimates my car has $2000+ worth of damage (broken headlight, wrinkled hood, bumper damaged, everything shifted to the left).

So I take today off for vacation; never did I expect to spend the day getting repair estimates and dealing with claims.

I hate ****ty drivers.

wow that sux I have 3 ylear old car and the clutch went out. took it to the dealership and they told me that it wasnt covered under the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty and I would have to pay 1900 smackers to fix it. the part is only $517 and the rest is in labor. I may not be the smartest when it comes to cars but Im pretty sure there is no way it will take $1400 in labor to fis the F&*king thing.

I know how it feels.

Ya they never cover anything like that, tires, battery, lights, etc

 

[wesly2006]

yeah it just cost me $500 to replace the tires last week. They dont tell you that your tires are only rated for 12,000 miles when you buy the car. I guess thats what you get for buying a sports car but it still sux.

Got done with the estimates today.

$2300+

Funny thing is that the parts only consist of $500 of that. Oh well, I'm not paying for it.

I know how you feel, I was driving a company truck and this guy in the turning lane slams on his breaks and swerves into my lane to keep from hitting the car in front of him.
Here is the end result.
The first pic is the truck I was driving...Notice the trailer connected to it....It will play a big role in the damage in the pictures of the other guys truck...Nobody was hurt.

My work truck

The other guys truck...ever wonder what a trailer will do if your doing 35mph and the other vehicle is almost stopped!!!
