Got rear-ended. Didn't get pooped on this time at least.

[Jesda]

I was pulling out of the parking lot at school on to the main road when I got a really hard thump from a blue Cavalier. It was enough for my seat belt to catch me and keep my head from hitting the wheel. I shook my head, threw my arms up, and got out.

Amusingly, she asked me "Whats a Saab?" She pronounced Saab in a way that rhymed with "cab". Apparently the company has done a poor job of marketing to youth.


Bumper got pushed in. Its hard to see from this angle but its quite uneven now.


Her bumper was shoved back a couple inches, hard to tell from this photo.


Got her picture... I dunno... in case she was a gypsy? She's a 20 year old junior. Very nice person, apologetic, easy to deal with.

We stood around waiting for the police while talking about country music (she's a Brad Paisley fan, I mentioned that I was planning on seeing George Strait in Nashville), past accidents I've been in, long commutes, and undergrad life. Had a very pleasant chat, actually. [She's engaged.]


Took a report, filed a claim, and went home.

I'm dropping my car off at the body shop and getting my rental car on the 31st. I have a feeling I'll be stuck in a Dodge Caliber. Hopefully nothing underneath the plastic or foam is damaged.

Poor Ducky!

Poor Jesda!

LoL at you throwing you hands up. Glad you're alright again man. Doesn't look like a serious crash, and hey, you might be a rebound lay for the chick if you two stay in touch!

Hope you get a Mazda3 and you can do a review. I'm eagerly awaiting your judgement on my car, previous model and current.

[AppleBonker]

Next time try to get rear-ended by a hot single chick who will pay for the damages in sexual favors. You're doing it wrong so far.

Sorry to hear about the car though, and the getting stuck with a rental part.

Her fiance may object.

Why? He should be honored that such fine pants even touched his bedroom floor, let alone his girl.

this is exactly how my buddy met his last "fling" if u want to call it. got in an accident got her number for insurance purposes and they started hanging out...

[Solar_Runner]

throwing your hands up will get you shot in Albuquerque.... sad, huh? Sorry for the bad luck Jesda, glad the hitter wasn't a azzhat. I'm expecting a through review of said rental.

Best Wishes,

Geo

Cliffs: Pull a reverse and rear end her.

[Jesda]

My brother got some dates from a hot girl after an accident but didnt seal the deal.

[Otto.]

No! Not Ducky!

I hope you get her fixed soon.

Nice Z33.

[Mr1der]

Did you ask her what her favorite part about being topless is?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Vert on Vert sucky-f***!!!
Sucks about Ducky Jesda. I had a calibur in Chattanooga when I went for my interview with Volkswagen. As soon as you get past the fact that its the most epic POS on US roads, you can have some fun with it, and exploit that fact that its the most epic POS. Bonus points if you get the god-awful CVT.

You gotta wonder what they were thinking. "We need a truly awful transmission to go with this alarmingly awful car".

[Mr1der]

Christ I hate CVT's...

wtf was Nissan thinking when that was the only choice in the Maxima?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Bum-loving frenchies?

[ADDirishboy]

The title of this thread is mis-leading....

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

The cavalier came in a convertible?

[Mr1der]

there weren't many of those.

plenty from the previous gen though....

[marlin29311]

I think this is all the more reason to re-open the Boxter debate....

Get one.

[Poyzinous]

why do you have a Saab?
At least it wasn't a 40mph rear end hit, so you're fine.
what do you think caused her to rear end you? Admiring her ring glowing in the midday sun? wondering what a saab was and not realizing the brake lights were illuminated? Changing out her brad paisley CD? and why do you have a Saab?

[Encryptshun]

I agree with better minds listed above. She got you in the rear -- you need to return the favor...it's the polite thing to do.

Glad you are okay, and Ducky can be rebuilt. They have the technology. He'll be stronger, faster, better.

[Mr1der]

as long as the doors still open ok and the quarter skin isn't wrinkled it'll be fine. that looks like it'll just need the bumper doodled with.

Can't argue with that logic...

I rented a Calibur....once....the driving eperience can be summed up in one word.....yuck.

[Jesda]

why do you have a Saab?

Why does a Saab... have me?



THE TABLES HAVE TURNED

I almost wrecked one in Bradenton. I smeared an armadillo all over the road, those effers are damn slippery.
