I'm okay--I just scraped up my arm a little bit. It was raining really hard, and I was taking a corner, and I skidded and hit a curb. :reject:

Amazingly there's no body damage to the car, but I blew out a tire and probably banged up the same wheel a bit. AND the airbags deployed.

Well, my stepmother wanted a new car anyway, and now she's probably going to get one. :wink: Fortunately, the guy who came to tow it said it probably wasn't my fault, I'm not hurt, I didn't hit anyone or anything else...so it was the best accident you could hope for, really.
 
:yes: Best kind of accidents are the ones where only cars gets hurt.

:up: Good to know nothing serious happened to you.

Oh, pax!!!!!!! :hug:

I'm still a bit freaked out from my recent accident...scary stuff.

I'm glad you are all right! Take care of yourself.
 
i'm glad your ok! :hug:

i hate airbags :angry:
when i was in my car accident about 4 years ago or so, my only injuries were caused by the airbag. :|
although my car was totaled, i was just turning at a red light so i know i wasn't going very fast and probably wouldn't have needed them.
 
glad to hear you are OK! :hug:

If this new car thing works out....I may have to let you borrow my car when I get to Penn! :uhoh: :wink:
 
Update!:

The car was indeed totaled. My stepmom now has an '03 Sonata instead of her old Plymouth Breeze, so, really, it was a good deal. And the chemical burns from the airbags are healing nicely. :|

Thanks for all your warm wishes. :)
 
Good to see you're OK.

The same kind of thing happened to me: raining, took a corner...except I went into the ditch while trying to compensate and ended up flipping 3 times and rolling countless others. Totalled the car and broke my leg, too. :up:
