Was driving to Orange county (Ca.) to visit a friend for the weekend. Left @ the wrong time, LOTS of traffic. Anywho, I got rear-ended by an old Japanese couple. Put a kink in the back bumper and dented the ummmmm, back fender, just below the light. We just replaced that this year.
We didn't pay for it though, the previous owner gave it to us.
Anywho, major traffic jam, lots of parked cars. Anywho, I was stopped and I saw him approching and knew right away he wouldn't be able to stop. So I braced myself. He was driving a Toyatta. He went right under us, TRASHED the front of his car. He was considering getting it towed. I was too pissed to talk to the guy so my fiance got out and talked to him. When he asked for his insuarance, he gave him his eyeglasses prescription, which he wasn't even wearing. Explains him weaving all over the place. I was actually trying to get outa that lane to get away from him. When his wife got out, she was pissed, she said something along the lines of "You didn't even get a scratch." Well we did, back right light acting up, kinked bumper (right under the gas cap) and dented fender. It was pretty scary, that was my 2nd accident. The other was last year, in a 924 Porsche, my seat was missing a few bolts so I got some BAD whiplash, I was the only one hurt. Some english guy slammed on his breaks @ a light that just turned yellow. Anyho, just thought I'd let ya know.
Oh, an update on my car. FINALLY got my car back, after 3 weeks of waiting. It's still having heating probs waiting for a new 7 bladded fan, we bought a shroud, but forgot to get the brackets, so we've decided to send it back and get the bigger shroud, w/ the braskets. We're also considering getting one of those power fans, forgot what they're called.
Sadly, if that stuff doesn't fix our over heating probs, we're going to sale my Mustang.
And get something new, checked out a used car lot yesterday. I'm already missing my car, just the thought of loosing it.
One good thing about the accident, we got the exhaust system rebuilt July 4th weekend, and he messed it up. Was rattling, making TONS of noices. We were planning on taking it back tomarrow (Monday) to complain. Well, since it got hit, it doesn't rattle.
Ganna check it out though, make sure it's not kinked anywhere, but I think it's just cuz the pannel got bent.
K, this is long enough. I just thought someone might care. I know Chris might. hehe
Well, TTFN, Take Care,
