Got in accident, Car is screwed
Well, the day finally came, some old lady never stopped to look around and hit me. It was a pretty big collision, air bags were popped. My complete front left end is gone, and none of it was my fault, and Im kind of ok. The hearing in my left ear is away (temporarily I hope) from the air bags, and my lip and nose got a little scraped up. Hopefully my car will be in the shop asap to get fixed up with brand new parts. Pics will follow in the next few days or so.

Are you ok? Should get yourself checked out because you might have problems later on. As for your car, if the airbags went off, then your car should be in pretty bad shape. There might be frame damage and then your car will be considered a total loss.

Well I was just released from the hospital, and Im probably going to see a chiropractor soon. Only thing Im worried about right now is my car and my left ear. I really dont want to go out, the whole way back home from the hospital, I was very paranoid that a car was going to hit me. Im very glad I came out alive.

I just went to see a lawyer, they assured me, One thing is that I'll have to wait a bit, since the paperwork hasnt cleared the police station yet, so we can get the other partys' info, Once we get it, things will start to happen, and my car will start to be fixed.
I think if today I had better brakes, I would've been able to avoid so much damage and maybe stop the air bags from deploying and screwing my face up. I just got back from the towing yard to pick up stuff from my car, it was so sad to see my car like that, sorry I didnt have a camera with me.

I think I kind of brought this onto myself. Cursing myself into a wreck for mod money.

Im planning new mods as we speak
One of the things I'll be getting are the TT brake upgrade, I think if today I had better brakes, I would've been able to avoid so much damage and maybe stop the air bags from deploying and screwing my face up.
