Default Got T-Boned Today

On my way to work doing the speed limit, some lady pulls out and t-bones me on the pass. side, then i spin around and hit a tahoe with my drivers side, spun again and ended up on a curb. It might be totalled...i am waiting on the word.

pics

before..........














Hopefully she is fixable...if so i am doing a 97 up conversion.....if not i guess i gotta find another one...

How in dafunk do you just pull out into traffic without looking and hit someone??? I mean seriously...what was up with this chick? You should have posted her stupid pic on the net too so we can all know what a complete and utter imbecilic tool looks like, lol.

I pray this never happens to me because I will seriously start throwing bombs on the idiot who does something like this as soon as they step out of their car to check the damages. Idiotic drivers not paying attention are essentially toying with your life on the road.

Saying, "I'm sorry" after you kill or maim me or my passengers won't fly.

Man I wish you the best, that sucks majorly...

On a more serious note, get medical attention and checked up NOW. Im not saying this for the wrong reasons trust me, you could of sustained injuries and not now about it till its to late unless you get yourself looked at and x-rayed now. If you need help paying for the medical bills, go get yourself a lawyer.

When I was rear ended, I felt fine (adrenaline.) Only to have back pains and restricted neck movements the next morning. (guy was traveling 40+ mph, I was sitting still.)

My father was in a more severe accident, and brushed it off as he himself being fine. Now he has 2 fused vertebrae because of it.
