If it turns out we are a safe bunch, we can point our insurance companies to this page at renewal time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Toast: Sorry to hear about Ted! Side impacts in bugs are the worst!
I figure since I started this poll, I should post my experiences... I've never been in an accident but have cetrainly had some close calls. Spun out in my Mustang a few times, and I've had to dodge people merging towards me numerous times. I've also had to slam on the brakes for deer that refused to look both ways before cossing the road. My mustang has been damaged in accidents though.. all minor. First was when we were trying to jumpstart jkeyzer's tercel back in like 1995. The jumper cables were a tad too short, so I was trying to push the tercel out of the garage a little so it would reach. I guess I was too slow, as Jeff decided to start up my Mustang and move it forward... BUT, the wheels were turned from when I pulled up, and he had never driven a V8 with a stiff clutch. So he revs it up and lets out the clutch, as if he were driving a tercel. *WHAM* He hits the brick wall of his house next to the garage door. I have since fixed the car (bent bumper and right fender), but there is still a chunk of brick missing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Another minor accident was when I had gone to a friend's house to go to a movie.. I parked behind her car, and went inside... When we came out, we all got in her car, and went to leave... She forgot I was parked behind her and backed right into my front bumper (a new one, replaced after the previous mishap) I have since managed to mostly bend it back, but if you crouch in front of it and look straight on, it looks like it's frowning a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
