So yesterday coming home, some old women slammed on the breaks for a yellow light.
She should have gone...
Hell I was going to go for it.
Hell the person behind me almost hit me as they were going to go for it.
Hell the person behind me to the right went through the light.
But I hit her. My insurance will take care of her, hopefully my premium won't jump too much. First accident of my life (9 years of driving), and I have no tickets. My jeep doesn't "appear" to be have too much damage, but it was enough for me to need a tow truck. While waiting, Ken (kcjeep) actually saw me and stopped by. He was like it ripped off your control arm mount, and I was looking at the upper mount part, and was like "huh? are you talking about", it wasn't until it was on the tow truck I actually saw what he was talking about! It was nice having support there.
Then to top it off, I'm sitting there trying to organize the tow truck to come and get me, (I was parked in a post office lot) one of the workers comes over and says I have 5 minutes or I am getting towed. I was like "WTF man, give me a break I am trying to get it towed myself!" eventually he turned out nice, but at first I was super pissed...
The damage so far:
Radiator
Transmission Cooler
Headlight
Lower Control Arm Bracket (possibly LCA)
Then today I am moving, so my moving vehicle (jeep) is not usable, so I am pretty screwed. Borrowing someone elses car (suv) today, then my dad is being nice enough on Monday to bring out his F350, and when he goes back home he'll take me so I can get my other car.
Sorry about the long write, just had to rant. At least now I get to upgrade a bit. I am thinking Aluminum radiator...
