Year of the AT Garage accidents. Joined the club.

When I get hit it'll probably be on the bike and I'll probably be dead.

Aww man. Don't say that.

I got rear ended by a civic a month back. Does that count?

Were you car #2 or #3?

 

[AMCRambler]

Nope. I was content with the Taco Bell that miraculously was intact after it flew into the dashboard. The XXL Chalupa held it's form.
Chalupa, 1. Focus, 0.

Don't worry, Ford is taking notes. The 2013 Ford Focus will look even more like a Chalupa than the current one. They might even re-name it the Ford Chalupa.

Sorry about your dude. At least you're still able to crack jokes. Just imagine how much worse it would have been if it was your Mustang. That's a pretty irreplaceable car. The Focus not so much.

Darn you with the Chalupa commentary, I read your last statement as "That's a pretty irreplaceable car. The Chalupa not so much."

err he rear-ended me. I stopped at the light. He didn't stop in time.

Let me add to this:

2010 Camaro SS:
Late August - Rear ended
4 weeks in the shop
2 weeks away on vacation
Night after I get back someone does a drive by on my apartment with a 12 guage...$6k+ in damage to the Camaro plus about four more weeks in the shop.

WTF? That is horrible. I would be stressed out beyond belief.

You need to move to a better part of the ghetto man.

if you can afford that car you should afford a garage!!!!

I almost joined the club today. Was making a left turn on a green light and the a-hole next me to in the straight through lane decided his was also a turn lane. Luckily I caught him out of my right eye and quickly got as far left as possible. Some middle age guy, on his cell phone, in a huge white Land Rover. Funny part was that he was oblivious to what happened and when the three of us in my car gave him the finger, he rolled down his window and motioned for us to confront him in a fight. Guess the guy was just an asshat all the way around.

I am truely sorry for your lots

Some joe-schmo backed into our Jeep about 3 weeks ago. Only crumpled the bumper a little bit. The shop said no frame damage. The thing is 10 years old so we took the $1100 check and am getting brakes, tires, and a windshield replaced lol.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

Sadly, not both. A place with a garage increases rent by at least 25% and adds half an hour onto my drive time. I think I will be both selling the Camaro and moving to a place with a garage *sigh*

If $12k damage to a fusion looks like this

then yeah I'd say its totaled

Woah. Yeah time to move

UPDATE, 11-1-11: Getting a pretty good amount from the insurance company. Claim check should be here early next week. Yes, everyone is right...it's a total loss. Paint and body alone was $5700. Not including mechanical work. So they stopped estimating after the paint and body was done being tallied up.

 

[marvdmartian]

I think I'm okay. My neck is little stiff. But I've had worse.

Shoot, that alone should get you free ice cream for life!

Glad to hear you're okay. :thumbsup:
