my first accident

  Top of Page

this afternoon, about 4.00pm, on the way to my gf's house after work. i had my first car accident!
what is it at the moment with libs! there were 2 that i saw last week! i kept thinking, man i hope that never happens!
it did
not too bad tho.
ill post some pics up later - the other guys car came off worse i think but it was my fault. sort of. my vision was completely blocked by some other guy letting me out of a street so i went. and the guy i smashed into was in the lane that was blocked. hard to explain and im still a little shaky, only happened 45 mins ago.
the front left of my car has seen better days though!
no air bags went off.
damage:
front bar
front left foggy
quarter panel
blinker cover smashed (excuse to get projectors??)

I know exactly what you mean, a few months back coming home from the beach i saw a old falcon pull out like you and get the front left clipped by a guy that was coming along at 80 in the opposite direction, again hard to explain if you havent seen it, the guys car hit spun and headed strait for me, luckily he recovered it and missed me but that scared the crap outta me and im always ultra careful about pulling out from a street when you can see all the lanes.

anyway good to hear your ok. like you said, its not the time for libs, i almost got sideswiped today in the absolute soaking we got, amazing that when it rains people use less turning signals and cut you off even more.

Full comp or just 3rd party mate? sucks to have this happen

haha thanks for the concern guys.
fortunately ive got compo insurance. bloody $1700 excess tho for being under 25.

car isnt off the road, yet! still driveable, but the guard hits the wheel going over any bumps! at a stand still there isnt even an inch between the 2! i know some of you pay a crap load of dosh to have that look! but its "not so nice" *in borat voice* when there are dings and scrapes everywhere!! haha

its not as bad as i probably make it out to be. i know those guys last week got it much worse (jarred they are out to get those green gen2's!!!) but its still sad to see your pride and joy in such an 'unloved' state --- even if it is stock!! haha

Sorry to hear the bad news. But on a brighter note, your $900 cheque from Kev will at least keep an Aussie in a job for another week.

update:
rang AAMI this morning. made the claim. paid the excess ($1750!!!!!!). car will be assessed 8am monday morning.
i know a guy will all the goss on spash repairers in the area (& sydney) who i talked to last night and he is going hook a brudda up with a decent place. last thing i need is someone who is going to charge me a fortune to do a bodge job!

hopefully this will be a quick [and relatively] painless excersise.

I looked at ur pics and thought... woah.... dont worry bout an insurance claim... but then i saw the mazda... hard to say they were from the same bingle... what did he get out wit a sledge hammer and try and make it look worse incase the cops came along so he could claim for a bad neck or something??????
