Tonight was not a good night to go cruising
So I just got into my first car accident a few hours ago
I rear ended someone and damaged my passenger side headlight, bumper, and the hood.
Surprisingly I'm calm, but I'm just upset about fixing everything and not being able to drive my car
here's the damage (taken by a camera phone)...
& it sucks that it happened during the weekend 'cause the body shop isn't open and I can't get a quote ASAP. So for now my car is with a friend because I can't have it in my sight.

Hey that sucks
Hopefully everyone sounds like they were all right, and that's all that really matters =)
and not having your car sucks! when my car got hit by a tree branch it took THREE weeks in the shop to fix it!

Sorry to hear about the accident. Just glad to hear that noone was injured.
I almost got into an accident myself... again it was at a Chinese shopping complex. Some Ahole decided to beat me before I can back out of my spot. I checked there were no cars in sight... then proceeded to back up slowly. Then this idiot in an ES decided to be Speed Racer to go around me while I'm backing up. Good thing my wife saw that Ahole!
Some peope just have no patience. I would've waited for some to back up instead going around him/her... just common courtesy and avoid an accident.
Sorry for the Of topic. Just had to rant...

I wasn't injured, however the guy that I rear ended had to go to the hospital because I guess he was in shock or something...so I feel really bad

That sucks man!!! I hope everyone is OK. You'll get it fixed. I got rearended and my car was out for 8 days and the price tag on the other person's insurance was around $3,500.
Anyways, I went to the mall today with my fiance and back. Man there were SO MANY crazy drivers out. It was very odd for the area. A lot of people were swerving in and out of lanes, cutting in and out at the wrong times. I was driving through an intersection and one BMW was making a left and almost tail-boned me!
Before that, we were driving on a route behind like 5 or 6 cars. This truck behind me decided to pass me AND EVERYONE ELSE AHEAD OF ME IN ON-COMING TRAFFIC!!!
WTF?????????????????
He almost killed a ton of people. I slowed a lot and was thinking to myself "AM I REALLY SEEING THIS?" What did my fiance do? She laid on my ****ing horn hard core for a good 30 seconds. Haha, it was great (only because no one got hurt).
The crazies were out today people. Maybe it is a full moon...

I do hope that you get this fixed out with no major difficulties and can get on with your life.

Please don't let this accident make you feel like you shouldn't go cruising. It's your car to enjoy so do it! It's called an accident for a reason, because it's not on purpose.
As for the person having to go to the hospital, hopefully they will be okay, it's better to get checked out than not. Looking at the damage to your car, it doesn't seem like you slammed into them at a high speed, so maybe the injuries are not that bad.
Monday is only a day away, and if you are like most of us here, you will have this taken care of before Tuesday begins. It's hard, I know. But the worst is over and it can't get anything but better.

damn! sucks to have it happen period, even more so when body shops are closed for the weekend. hopefully come monday, it'll get a quote and be on its way to repair. sorry dude! in the meantime, try not to think about it. time passes by real slow initially, but before you know it, your car will be back in no time. best of luck!
