Yesterday afternoon I got into my first real accident that was completely my fault.
the 240 will probably be written off. The bumper is fine, the hood bent a bit and all the lights and grill are smashed - rad gone, upper+lower rad supports just twisted metal, fan bent back towards the motor which caused it to die on impact. Both front fenders are fine. At this point I'll have to see what the insurance agency is thinking.
I dont even know what to say. I feel like crap. Wasn't drinking at all, wasn't smoking. I was distracted for an instant by some old lady nearly walking out on the road and getting smooshed - and panicked when I realized someone pulled out in front of me. I was going around 45km/h roughly. I hit the brakes hard which was stupid, locked em up and slid 10-15 feet into the back of a honda pilot saying oh my fuking god before I hit. ABS could have stopped my dumb ass.
I'm an idiot. I feel absolutely low as **** right now.
Damage to the pilot was a lil bent in tailgate. Muffler hanger must of broke off becaue it was rattlign around when the person left. Both bumpers on each others vehicles are fine. Not sure as to what's going to happen now.
I feel like a dick and shouldnt' even post here anymore. Looks like I'll be taking the bus to work and school from now on. My dad was pissed and still haven't heard the end of it from him.
I guess it's time to quit being a bitch, face the music, and deal with it. I'll be damned if i'm going to let that car get crushed. Thanks to those of you who've taken the time to read this.
