Well, I got into my first accident yesterday. I took a right hand turn way to fast and bashed my front left wheel. Rim, tire, axel, etc....all efed up . I am waiting to see what the total damage is and how long it will take. Luckily no body damage which is good, but still. Right now I am driving a toyota corolla from enterprise which is punishment enough. I guess I was seeing if anybody could share their accident stories to make me feel better thanks!

 

Sorry to hear about your mishap Hope the repair cost is not over the top.

That sucks man; sorry to hear about it. What exactly caused the accident? Was there water/ice/gravel on the road or anything?

 

I feel for you. Accidents do suck. Look at the bright side, it cold always have been worse. You are driving a Toyota? Oh no, how dreadful. I feel for you all over again.

 

A week after getting my car out of the body shop from being hit, I was on my way to work. I see a furry shadow out of the corner of my eye, react as quickly as possible and swerve left...nope too late. Stupid deer took out my headlight, hood, quarter panel, door, fender and mirror. Left guts and furr along all the moldings. I took his head for a 200' ride and deposited it down the road, now painted red. Back to the body shop where they stared at me and said, NO WAY!

 

Sorry to hear about the accident, that really sucks

 

Double bummer.

OTOH, this is one of the few times I've heard of someone hitting a deer and not being totalled! So, I guess that's the bright side!

Well, that, and seeing the look on the faces of the guys at the body shop. That must have been priceless!

 

Thats too bad. Good that you are alright. It could have been worse.

Ouch....

Soon you will be having fun again in your MINI, but please drive safe.

 

thanks for the reply's. Tomorrow I will find out how much $$$ and how long to fix it.

 

Accidents are merely the unpredictable meeting of two masses trying to occupy the same space at the same time. It sounds more like someone trying to drive a bit above their ability. Glad you're okay.
