i was in a wreck last night. i stopped at my stop sign looked both ways there were a bunch of bushes and trees to my left that restrict vision and i started pulling through the intersection and got t-boned by a honda oddesy. both of my driver side doors are stuck shut the back one is open a few inches at the top and the b pillar is pretty bent and now my back wheel is sitting at a funky angle. i still owe on the car and i only had liabilaty and even though i didnt get a citation i think that it will be ruled my fault since she didnt have a stop sign. its a 4way intersection and should have stop signs in all directions but doesnt. it was after dusk and she didnt have her lights on and may have been speeding so i may luck out. all that happened to her van was the bumper getting scratched and a small place where the plastic ripped. and because i dont have a car now im losing my job, plus my 360 was in the back seat and got broken. im completely fvcked now.

this is why it's pure insanity to not have the mandatory full coverage on a car that you owe money on.

naaaa. if you owe 10 g or more and dont have it in savings...its huge balls crazy......

but the risk is reasonable under 10 g in my eyes. if it cost more to insure the vehicle then the payment terms its stupid to pay that cause they wont pay you out anyway in most cases you will still be shortchanged.

calculated risk.

She's dead now, so you can go ahead and call her a hooker. You're going to need some towels, some lye and a shovel. Good luck.:thefinger:

Damn dude... That sucks big time...I hope things are figured out and u end up ok. I was lucky enough in my accident that the girl admitted fully that she was at fault and my dad's delivery business has a company van i now use for driving. Just dont let it get u depressed, theres always a bright side to things. U just sometimes need to find a way to pull the blinds apart to see it.

(Or something cheasy to that effect lmao :icon_twisted:)
