CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

So, I'm driving down the 605 freeway this morning, and a car comes in off the 10 and merges in at just this side of a dead stop. My brakes make the screeeee and the rest of my car makes the *crunch*. (if you're not staff, you may pretend that there are words here that the staff would rather I not type directly - if you are staff, please do not so pretend)

Anyway, not-so-long story cut painfully short, my car ain't lookin' so hot. In fact, it's looking pretty bad. (It's a '96 Saturn, so between falling bluebook and rising parts cost it might just be considered totaled.)

Fortunately, there don't seem to have been any real injuries, but it's still not a fun experience.

That sucketh. Is his insurance going to cover it?

We have lots of drivers like that in our area. I'm surprised and thankful that we haven't been in a major accident -- just an elderly man very gently rear-ending us from a dead stop when his foot slipped off the brake.

wow i remember when i was in a wreck i was so sad and mad my baby was totalled but i bought it back from the junkyard and did the repairs myself... its not too bad you cant really tell well you can tell if you know its there but it was pretty good job...anyways good luck with a new car or fixing yours

I totalled my Honda in med school. They wrote it off. At least it was enough to make the down payment and then some on the '02 Saturn I drive now.

wow are you ok?!?! i hope you'll feel ok in the morning, sometimes the day after the accident is when you start to feel achy

I'm just glad you aren't hurt.

Welcome to my world.

Only in my case, it was an '01 Miata.

Now I drive a '98 Camry.

Being in the rare car of a collision is usually safer. I hope you are OK, but I also hope the guy in front of you is OK. He would be more likely to suffer from wiplash, I would think.

Accidents stink. Hopefully your ok, thats the important thing. And hopefully the cop who was working the scene on yours was not a rookie fool. (I love being told that a paint smear on one persons vehicle is worse then my busted to heck front end)

What a pain. Do you need your car everyday, or do you just need it on occasion?

I live on one side of L.A., and work on the other. I'd say I need it pretty much every day.

Ooh, big-time bummer. Car accidents are never good things, from minor ordeals to totaling your car. Glad to hear you're alright though.

*shakes fist at bad drivers* One almost got me yesterday.

glad to see you are allright!
i almost got in an accident the other day... because of a jerk of a driver....
(he was going 40 in a 55 zone, so of course, the road's clear and i attempt to pass...but then he slammed on the gas to keep me from getting in front, then the brake to keep me from getting behind, and a car was oncoming by that point...
luckily i have better brakes then he did...)

I used to crash my car into the wall all the time! It was fun! (Of course, it was one of those power wheels that go about 6mph. )

I remember when I was in a minor fender bender when I was going to a Third Day concert. My youth pastor was driving me and the son the our pastor for the church. If I hadn't looked up and saw the BMW that cut in front of us, we would have been ing major trouble. However, we got hit instead. <sigh>

Missed a little of the beginning of the concert. Everyone was ok including the driver behind us (although he shouldn't have been driving... points already against his license...) >.<
