Slowmx3 Totalled

Post by THStrumpet »

My car got totalled last night (this morning) around 1am. Long story short, I was alone at a stop light at Indian River and Centerville, this guy in a 2004 Durango rear ended me. He said he was looking down and didnt see me. The light had turned green a split second before he hit me....i had not even let the clutch out yet. It was crazy, but I don't feel like typing any details. He got out fine, I hurt my shoulder, few minor scratches and ankle hurts, but overall im ok. So I guess I will be shopping for a new car soon!

Here are the pics: http://www.cs.odu.edu/~jhall/wrecksept9-04/

funny just an hour before I had been telling someone how I was tired of it and how I wanted to get rid of it or just totally change the look.no airbag, but the seatbelt saved my life. It also whiplashed me back and broke my seat making it recline all the way back....so I was staring straight up when the car was still sliding. And another funny thing is my stereo deck ended up in the front of the passenger side floor....so I guess it flew out bounced of the seat and hit the ground....good thing it didnt bounce my way and hit me in the head!

For all our sake I hope he was damn well going faster than 45. That's brutal damage and for sure you had an angel on your shoulder at the time to walk away with so little hurt. You were riding on your spare at the time I see. Are you keeping your car to part out or is the insurance company taking the whole thing? I'd buy those rims off you if your interested. Might as well see some good come of the situation if you can. By the way, now that your shopping for a new ride, what are you thinking about?
