It was my first one and i've been driving for 3 years, but it could have been avoided. Here's what happened:
some guy was blocking traffic i guess in the leftmost lane, there were 2 cars in front of me. first guy was slowing down because of the car blocking. the guy in front of me all of a sudden slams on his brakes, i slam on my breaks while trying to swerve out of the way.
i end up clipping his rear which causes him to hit the car in front of him. somehow, i bent his axle sideways and probably totaled his car. the guy in front had a little rear damage. and i have a messed up axle and front on the left where i clipped him. and the guy who was blocking traffic drives away scott free.
i get a ticket because i made first impact, don't have my license, had to call off work, won't be able to drive to class tomorrow, and don't have any means of transportation. i should be at work now, but it happened on the way to work. so right now im extremely pissed. the only thing i can do now is kill a few brain cells and wait for tomorrow to go look at my car. life is not fair, but i already knew that!
and it just occured to me that i have a copy of halo 3 reserved, which i won't be playing unless one of my friends drives me. =(
You see, this looks bad, but if the was the worst thing that happened to you today, then you should be happy. For instance, last night, Rex Grossman overcame your incredible defense to lose the game for you.
Just remember, when things are bad, you could always be Rex.

being a bears fan my entire life, i've learned to cope with loss, agony, and embarrassment. rex played very rex-like last night, but we've had worse.

I'm sorry to hear about the bad news, J.
Things like that are inevitable, but at least you and the others involved are OK. You have to look at the brighter side of things some time. I wish you the best, J.

i was actually talking about we've had worse experiences with quarterbacks. rex was actually the first bears qb to start more than half of the games in a long time, i believe.

yeah, i always look at the brighter side, but it didn't seem like there was one except surviving, in this situation. the only thing my car REALLY needs is a new tire, which i got today. the alignment is really messed up, it steers to the left horribly. my headlights still work somehow too, lol.

It'll be alright, J.
I, myself had to replace parts on my previous car. It would seem that everyone would hit me. My girlfriend had taken my car out a few times and those few times is where some idiot driver would hit her.
I'm glad she was OK, of course, but my car wasn't. I ended up selling it because I felt it was bad luck in some way.
I hope your car gets a speedy repair.;)

well i guess my situation isn't that bad. its only the 2nd time my car got hit. first time it was a hit-n-run. but i can't even repair it right now, i really don't have the money. its gonna cost around 700 just to get new airbags, not to mention the front panel damage and damage to my door.
i'm actually hoping that someone will hit me so they can pay for it, lol:woop:

at least nobody was injured, now that would have been bad! Also, next time, try to keep a little bit of distance from the other car

Bad, J! Trust me, you don't want someone to hit you just so they can pay for your current damages(Rolls up neswpaper and hits you behind the head).:p Seriously though, it can always end up being worst for you.
Well, I hope that I've "knocked" some sense into you.:p You just have to think Positive. Even when you're having, what seems to be THE WORST DAY OF YOUR LIFE...just step back for a moment and relax.;)
Sorry for sounding like Dr. Phil.:p
