Picture of my bad day...

Post by Tuneses »

I've never been in an accident ever before so it might seem small but man did it ever upset me. Especially cause the rabbit is like my baby.

I had a Ford Expedition run into the back end of my rabbit yesterday.

I was at a red light, the light turned green she went before I did except she was behind me. My rear bumper is bent and my driver side quaterpanel is bent to hell and my light is all smashed. She claimed at fault, so hopefully that all goes well. The appraiser is comming this afternoon. I'm off to boot camp a week from today. This is all I need really. :roll:

Ouch, so sorry. I am glad she didnt do more damage. Hmmm big SUV soccer mom, maybe she was too busy yakking on her cell phone to pay attention. Darn those roads and crazy lights interrupting her conversation.

Seriously, though, I hope the Cabby gets fixed up nicely. Keep us posted.

:o Ouch! :o

That's awful.

Are you planning to repair it?

I just hate to see nice cars go to the wreckers.

I hope this works out for you.

that sucks... hope it turns out allright. I'm allways worried that someone is going to run into me or vise versa, esp. in the jetta... if I had more than liability on the car I could have bought it 3 times already, so I don't.
