Well, I didn't expect this day to come. My poor old girl, whom I expected to pass quietly in her sleep one day, had her life violently ended today. By me. Maggie, my old Mercedes 380 SE was older than I am, a family heirloom of sorts. My grandfather got her in Belgium as a company car when he worked for Dow Chemical. After bringing her back to the ( Read more... )

Gah, accidents suck. It only takes a moment for one to happen too. Make sure to take yourself to a doctor if you're feeling any pain, kay?

If it makes you feel any better, my first accident was my fault as well... and the woman who I collided with was pregnant.

Hey, as long as no-one was hurt, all the happened was an inconvience. Also, you're insurance will rarely cover you for an accident. If it had been their fault (like they made an left into your lane right in front of you (like I did to that lady)) then you'd contact THEIR insurance company for compensation, which is likely what they did for you.

I'd also be lying if I said I never panic-braked while behind another car. On the way to AC, I forgot during a pit-stop that the road I was on was a freeway not a highway, and suddenly had a car in front of me at a red-light. I slammed hard enough on the brakes that I couldn't steer into another lane. Stopped short of him by about 6 inches, after leaving molten rubber along the road.

Whatever though. Sorry to hear about your perdicament. I've been on my feet from sudden loss of a car twice now... and both times it sucked balls.
