My sting of bad luck has just went from bad to extreme. If you remember, I just posted about my tire blowing out on the freeway here: http://offtopix.com/showthread.php?t=3632
Well I just totaled my car on the way home from work! Im driving down the road and this car in front of me slams on his breaks and attempts to make a sharp U-Turn from the all the way in far right lane. The turn lane was two lanes over. Anyways I see him doing that and I slam on my breaks, the road was wet and I slid about 50 feet and rammed right into the side of him. My front axle it totally destroyed and all of my engine fluids were leaking out everywhere, so who knows whats screwed up in there. I am afraid to pop my hood because I probably wont be able to shut it again. The air bags came out extremely fast and hurt my left wrist, it feels burned. There was all this dust coming from the air bags as well. It filled the car and I started hacking and coughing. I thought it was smoke and the car was on fire so I get out and start running away from the car (thinking it might explode) and I almost get hit by a car driving by in the process.
His car wasn't too damaged as it was a big Van.
Anyways I called the police and they came out and made a report. The cop said he is going to write it like the other guy was at fault (because he pretty much was, but I hit him from the back. 99% of the time the person who hits another person from the back is at fault. Hopefully I will be that 1%)
Guess we will see how it all goes in court.
For now I don't have a car....
I had to have my car towed and it is sitting in my drive way all mangled up with the air bags popped out. I'm sure my neighbors / landlord are going to be full of questions.
I am going to take the $500 I have in the bank and hit the police impound lots and tow yard to look for a cheap car in the morning.
This totally f**king sucks.
