    Default 32k right down the drain.

    Wonderful morning this morning.

    I was driving my favorite car that I spent years working to be able to afford, only to see it go under another this morning with me in it.

    Airbags only suck when the seatbelt fails. Chin to Sternum touching isn't sexy at the speed of which airbags deploy.

    Fucker slammed on his breaks at over 45 mph in the rain to take a quick turn. I had no chance to do anything, thank god for witnesses.

    I feel bad for them I really do, but the driver looked like he was going to die, I was covered in glass, and looking at their bumper close enough to hit my head on getting out of the car. I felt so bad, until the lady leaned out and called me an S.O.B.

    normally, since I am better off, I just take fault to ease the pain of them regardless of whos fault it is. I don't care about the cars, I care about the health of the people involved. I jumped out of my car nose bleeding, both hands went through the dash board due to the failed seatbelt and I took an airbag in the chin-chest, TO GET TO THEIR CAR to see if they where ok, I took the older gentleman out of the car, secured his head and neck and called for an ambulance.

    After she made that comment, I was sitting in the parking lot just watching my life flash before my eyes, I thought she was an utter bitch. Luckily two older citizens informed me what they saw and told the police. I feel much better. I do work for the precinct so the police knew me and where very happy I was ok.

    I really just didn't need this with everything going on in my life. I mean, I'm doing OK but this just set me back, and the vehicle was the culmination of success over YEARS of work and sacrifice. It was the first "Nice" thing I bought for myself.

    Oh well, I relocated my fingers, and checked my nose out. Coughed, dried up. Changed shirts before paramedics got there, towed off the car, and walked to my destination in recollection.

    Dunno why I'm sharing it, it just seems this white box is comforting, and this board kinda allows me to be a little goofy even though I know I wouldn't be here if I was going a few mph faster.

    Ninjas I tell you. They are EVERYWHERE.

    Mast.

    I'm glad you're alright. That really does suck though.

    Airbag burns are the worst, aren't they? I got rear-ended in '97 and the airbag came flying out. It got me on my neck, chin, and wrists. Not pleasant.

    (((Hugs)))

    Honestly, I never heard about airbag burn until after the accident. That shit was all over me, no burns tho. Weird stick gasious substance. I don't feel irritated or anything. Can't wait till the morning.

    Oh yes insurance is involved.

    And on a humourous note. Airbags should have smiley faces on them :/

    Thanks for the Hugs Rhiannon, I still have a hard time accepting it happened. I mean its just a car right?! At least all parties involved are ok.

    Youch! Sounds like the airbag might've still helped a bit. Sorry to hear that.

    I can't believe the nerve of some people, driving like idiots and causing accidents then calling the VICTIMS names. OMG that bitch deserves to be strung by her toes!

    I was thinking the same thing as Gabe tho - insurance???

    Damn, Mast. Glad to hear you're alright. And kudos to you for keeping a clear head while others around you were losing theirs.

    Airbags with on them, LOL!

    I agree...airbags should have smileys on them with the word, "BOO!" heh heh It'll give you something to laugh about.

    I'm sorry to hear about the car, Mast. That really sucks. I hope it all gets taken care of.

    Me, personally, I would have had everyone turn around while I bitch slapped the person who called you an SOB. I'm amazed at how you kept your cool during all of that. Here's a to your level-headedness...

    And a ...just keep your hands away from the boobs the kitty and the ass. Yeah.

    Ah dude, I am with ya man... my ex-girlfriend smashed up my BMW a couple years ago. I still yearn for it. (And no, I didn't dump her for the car, she liked to drink more than she liked me.)

    I'm sorry that happened to you! I just drove to Tampa from New Orleans today and it frightens me every day that I get on the interstate how badly some people drive! What really gets me is how many times I've been nearly run off the road by someone with a "Choose Life" license plate or "I love Jesus" sticker on their car. I even had a lady with a "Choose Life" plate that was personalized with "Chzlife" almost run me down one day in a minivan. wtf?

    Even if you have insurance I understand if it's a car that's special to you it's not about the money. My mom had someone total a car that wasn't worth much but she had looked all over for and she really loved. She was heartbroken. It was their fault and then they tried to sue her! At least you're okay though. In the end that's all that really matters anyway.

    Big hugs and kisses
    I know how you must be feeling, I was in accident 6 yrs ago where our car crashed head on into another car(I wasnt driving.) It probably hasnt sunk in yet for you and it prob feels a bit like it was a dream. This is what happened to me, the reality of the crash didnt hit me till days after. I know its important to you but try and remember that it is only a car, you can always buy another. You could be badly injured or even dead. Sorry to get a bit heavy but I was left with a 6" scar from my accident. The scar itself doesnt really bother me to be honest, whenever I look at it I try and remember that things could have been much worse. There are so many dangerous drivers on the road, it really angers me to see them. They dont seem to realise that a car is not a toy, it is a ponentally dangerous or even fatal piece of machinery if not respected or handled correctly. Sorry to go on a bit of a rant but this is an issue close to my heart. Hope your ok babe, keep smiling,

    awww thanks so much.

    As I sit here in the dark <power outage> using my cellphone to connect <see 'Are you an addict' thread> I came back to read this.

    Thanks so much for your input, my right hand I have been Icing since the accident, since I draw with that hand and am kind of hoping it will heal faster.

    Its all dark and lighteningie here, its magnificient to watch, and remind me of the days passing. I really can't believe it PoleKitten, you're right, its a car, but what I can't believe is I was looking at a tow-hitch dead on not more than 1 foot from my face, or so it seemed. And bridget you're right, I know people are hurt, but I didn't try to say that I was in more danger than them, I didn't think, I went right to the driver to help him out, only to have his wife scream profanities at me while I tried to piece together my scattered conciousness.

    I guess I handle this stuff like treating it like a bump and going on, and here I am at the office with no electricity hoping to stick it out a few more minutes so I can finish a job and go home.

    Hehehehe in a lighter note, ya'll don't know how much fun this site has been for me since I started, look at the post count, look at my join date. PL to the max. But I'm here to stay and again, I appreciate all the kind words! Now to find the light switches.

    Awww, Mast! Poor guy!
    Be glad it wasn't worse. And as for the name-calling, make like a stripper and ignore stupid people. She was trying to bait you into looking like it was your fault.

    I have a special gift from my bad car accident- a calcified sterum that rubs under my chest muscles. Customers ask why I wince during table dances, and the truth never elicits sympathy. I'll just start saying I want them so bad I'm hurting. LOL

    I saw the thread name and got worried that you spent $32K on the Hummels. My head's in the right place, huh?

    I'm glad you are ok. Make sure that bitch doesn't try and screw you over. My little brother was just in an accident and the woman was, too, an utter bitch. Blamed the whole thing on him. Luckily he had witnesses too. We come to find out that the lady is legally blind. Hmmm... wonderful.

    Car accidents are a pain in the arse. But all will turn out good I hope!

    Did you get checked out by your doctor? I assume paramedics examined you at the scene. Sometimes injuries aren't so obvious immediately after the accident. If you've got anything at all sore or hurting, or it starts hurting, don't do that male macho thing and blow it off as a minor thing that will clear up. Not only might it need treating, but also you want a medical record of it in case it gets worse later and you have to prove that you didn't just make it up as an insurance scam. Just a thought. Sorry about the car, but glad you came through it.

    It pays to have a cell that takes pictures before anyone arrives!!! I am sure everything will work out. They can pretty much tell with the screetch of breaks (tire marks, etc) and glass who was going what direction and who was in the wrong!!!

    I always stop at car accidents, and check out the situation before the paramedics arrive (as i happened to be accross the street mostly)

    However hun be VERY careful. If a person can get out of the vehicle themselves, let them. NEVER pull a person out if they are not getting out, just talk to them, keep them awake if you can, (fires don't count when one is in a vehicle seems hurt badly) moving hurt people could turn into a lawsuit very quickly. People today will sue for a PENNY.

    Glad you are fine.

    Anyways, yea I'm ok, bonified. I was just worried about muh guitar/drawing hand tho :/ I just like the fact that it has another use than besides...well... yea

    Yea, I think its getting ruled a no fault because I shoulda had control of my car bla bla bla, and then some, but I will play it out and see where it goes. I'm operating ok today. My abs sent me a Hallmark card. I didn't know Hallmark had a 'What the HELL just happened?' card series.
