:sad: I got in an accident this past Saturday and totally crashed my car. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!

Luckily, no one was injured. I just feel really stupid, like I'm some really bad driver, even though it was a completely typical kind of accident (look away for a second, look back & truck in front of you is at a dead stop).

The crap thing is my car was only 17 months old! :( I still considered it new! The front end was all folded up on itself (just like the salesman said it would in a front-end crash, wow, not a lying salesman), the radiator busted and steam and fluid leaked out everywhere. I could still steer it off the road, but I had to be pushed by a police car while all these gawkers were staring at me . . . SO EMBARASSING!

Anyway, the adjuster is supposed to call me today. I just hope it's repairable and not totaled. I really, really like my car.

I'll keep you all posted. :sad:

This blows!
 
Aww, I'm so sorry! :( I'm glad you're all right though. :hug: I made a dumb driving mistake once that resulted in major damage to my dad's car. :yikes: Not only that, but it happened on the Mackinac Bridge, so I caused a huge traffic mess. :reject: My pride and driving reputation will never fully recover (I still get teased by my family), but it was definitely a lesson learned.
 
awww...I'm sorry. :( It is kind of embarrassing, because yeah, everyone does look! Glad to hear you are ok, and I hope everything goes well with the adjuster.
 
I am so sorry to hear this Fitz. :sad: So glad to hear that you were not seriouly hurt , and hope that your car can fixed. I know how you feel. I was in an accident with my new car after having it only for 3 months. :hug:
 
:wink:

Thank you all for your well wishes.

Yes, I am most glad for the fact that no one was injured in the accident.

I have yet to hear from the adjuster. I've called twice, but apparently I haven't even been assigned to an adjuster yet.

I had to have my car towed again because the towing yard that the police called on Saturday charges $36/day + $130 for the original tow. So I had it moved to the shop where, if it's fixable, then I will have it fixed there. They're pretty cool too. They go and pick up the car and pay the fee to get it out, since they know I'm stranded w/o a car right now.

I just want the insurance to send out the inspector so s/he can tell me whether it's a total or repairable. Then I can get my rental car based on that information.

Being w/o a car in Southern California and depending on other people for rides is just :no: :mad:
 
So sorry to hear about your accident. Luckily you are alright. I'm sure you're still shaken up about it.

I had 2 when I was younger, and the first time the car was almost totalled, but they fixed it. The second time (same car) I think it was totalled. And hubby had gotten into an accident after having our new car for only a few months too. It was a frickin' nightmare, because the other driver (clearly in the wrong) was driving a rental car, and Budget are :censored: It went to arbitration, and...it was just a mess. Luckily we still have the car & it's still running (accident was in '99). Last accident was many many years ago and I was stopped at a red light. The light turned green and the lady behind me stepped on the gas, though I hadn't yet. We had a rental car for 5 weeks while it was being repaired :sigh:

:hug:
 
So sorry to hear this... :( I can imagine when owning a car yourself and really liking that car just makes you pissed when something happens to it, even something small. And now it's crashed... Just hope it's repairable :hug:
 
Well, don't feel too bad for me. The accident was my fault. I looked away for a second and when I looked back the truck in front of me was at a dead stop.

That was my 1st new car ever. All through college and law school I drove hand-me-down piecers that were constantly crapping out on me. I finally get a job and buy my very first new car and less than 1 year 1/2 later, I cause an accident and crash it. Stupid me! :mad:


Oh, well. At least no one was hurt.

I'm still waiting to hear from the adjuster. They never called me back after my 2 calls yesterday. However, the appraiser is on his way to check out my car.

/fingers crossed I hope it's repairable and not totaled. :pray:

Click to expand...

the most important thing is that you and no one else was injured! so i am happy that you are safe and healed.

i feel really bad, but i chuckled a little when i read your comment on the police car having to push your car. haha, sorry. but, as the saying goes, when in doubt, laugh, right?

anyways, i hope you had insurance on your car and everything works out w/ the car, police, citations, and everything else.

glad that you are ok!
