Dam bro what happend??? sorry to hear about it, but like everyone says, at least you are ok

***gadalla*** · 12-19-2006, 09:43 PM

sorry man, that sucks. What happened?

Mech · 12-19-2006, 09:48 PM

The traffic was bumper to bumper coming home. The person infront of me started going and I looked over to change lanes, but they decided to stop all of a sudden cuz everyone was following eachother too closely. I ran into the person in front of (was accelerating from a complete stop) and then started a chain reaction of about 4 cars (i wasnt goin too fast, just people were so close to eachother). So yeah... thats about my story. The officer ended up only writing me a ticket for "following too closely" which was only about $90. He told me he had to write SOMEONE a ticket. So, hopefully it won't be too long til i get it back. The body shop said maybe 2 weeks. The hole you see is from where they had to cut in the hood to get it open.

Ouch that sucks, so you were the last car and pretty much caused the cars in front of you to rear end each other?

Mech · 12-19-2006, 09:56 PM

yes, tho the car infront of me only had a c racked bumper, the other cars had nothing.

That's to bad, lucky you weren't going fast though.

that makes me wanna cry =(
and hopefully ur insurance doesnt go too high.

Mech · 12-19-2006, 11:14 PM

Yeah, though I was told my insurance may not even change. I never had an accident until this that was my fault. I'm usually a very cautious driver (well, with a lot of aggression), but never usually miss anything going on around me.

And it didnt deploy your airbags?

Mech · 12-20-2006, 12:09 AM

no, like i said, i wasnt going fast at all. The damage looks a lot worse than it actually was.
