Well, I got a new car about 2 months ago, (new to me) a 93 Plymouth Duster. Today I totaled it. I was about 5 car-lengths behind this woman going about 45, and for some reason in the middle of the highway she slams on her brakes. I respond by promptly slamming on my brakes. Once I started breaking I hit a patch of ice and slid into her knocking off her rear bumper. My cars front bumper, quarter panels, radiator, and god knows what else was destroyed.

Ughhh... Once things start going Okay in my life something comes and ****** it up. I had my poker bankroll up to 2k.

What this is going to cost me?
150 - Towing and storage fees
500 - Insurance deductable
2000 - Price of new car
200 - Misc reg. fees

My insurance is already at 2k/year. I wonder what it's gonna go up to? I can't afford life.

Deductable? You don't have full converage on a $2k car do you? If you do you might want to rethink that next time.


I have liability.
