I Hate whent hings go horrible wrong.

[StarFox]

Yup, when I say horribly wrong, I mean things took a turn for the worse... (A left turn, that is)

As I was pulling out of Cranbury Care Center, dropping my sister off, I got hit by a Hyundai, driven by a 65 year old woman. I am not injured (thanfully), and my car is still drivable... But I'ma need new doors.

Here are a few pics of the damage:

Her insurance going to pay for it?

[J@mie]

her fault or yours?
I'm guessing it was the old-woman-who-shouldn't-be-allowed-on-the-road's fault? Actually...65 isn't even that old...

[StarFox]

I dunno the fault. I gotta wait 10 business days for the results, but I'm pretty sure she is going to have to pay. I hate putting in police reports =X

Even if her insurance doesn't pay, my step-dad, and older brother, both work at a car scrap yard, so, I can probably pick up oddly colored doors (and a new bumper while I'm at it ) inixpensively.

I'm saving for a new car anyway, but with m,y insurance rates going to skyrocket, it won't be for a while. I currently pay $2030 a year, I don't even want to think about what my next bill will look like =X

The worst accident I've ever had was I backing out of a parking space, and my bumper ran into the wheel-well of the SUV next to me. I hit the plastic part of his car, so the plastic only got scuffed, but my Plastic bumper got dented in badly.

I went out to my car a few days later and it had popped back into place. The heat made the plastic become malleable and it just returned back to its natural shape.

I guess I'm just luckier than you.

Yeah, but my machine is HEAVY metal. It takes a lot to bend it, and it doesn't crumple, it pretty much stays in place without a lot of force. It was another heavy car that hit me too, so she was lucky to not get as much damage as a blown light and a few scratches on her bumper... I, however, need replacement doors =(

[IronCrue34]

Awe.

That sucks, Swifty.

[Grey Jinjo]

Look at it this way - if the metal was lighter, you could need replacement legs.

Or, I could just me paralyzed. Thanks for the motivation though... I coulda got back problems, dead feet, dead. If I broke a leg or so though, I'd be on disability for 2 months... Money for a broken leg... Would be kinda cool, but I live in the basement =(

Once you get 50 you should take yearly driving tests. If you fail, you can't drive.

Oldies are just as much as a hazard as newbies.

Damn, that sucks, starfox. My Dad has trouble with thing happening to his car, its been key scratched, backed into, and rear-ended.
Maybe it's because its a red car. (They say red cars are more accident prone).

Also, (off topic) where did you find that pic of Fox? I don't recognize it from any of the games. :/ (Looks like his Melee design)

[Neodynamics]

Hey man, that sucks, but it could have been a lot worse. Glad your ok.

Off topic - It was from someone who was modelling him for UT2K4, but he hasn't finished yet. Last I heard from him, he was doing the movement animations for swimming and stuff, but nothing as of late. This was a screenshot he posted to amp rev our engines.

I'm not a noob at driving... And I took the road test twice, passed both times. My mom thought it was unsafe, so she forced me to take it again, and I passed.
