View Full Version : $^$(*&%(^%*, Accident this morning
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 10:47 AM So first of all, the part that makes this the worst...I was asked to put my car in a show on July 9th and this happens.
This morning I was on my way to work I was doing about 30km in a 40 zone due to traffic. I see a friend going in the other direction glance and wave. Then it happens, an old beat-up pickup truch stopps suddenly in front of me cause of the damn crazy garbage truck in front of him. I look back from my glance just as he hit his breaks and I jump on mine. My tires slide and just stop short of his bumper....however the massive trailer hitch he had caught me in the middle of my plate left a crater and messed the plate good.[:@] what a morning.
The only up side is once I replace the plate no one will see the damage and now I have an excuse to get the Roush body kit .
randy78045 06-16-2006, 10:51 AM Sorry to hear about the accident.... at least you put a good spin on it... :D:D
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 10:52 AM I have to other wise I may cry.:(
penceman 06-16-2006, 01:54 PM Sorry to hear about that. Thats almost happened to me more than once. You look over at something, then look up, and you're almost in the back of another car. Man, I hate that. I hope everything works out.
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 02:06 PM Thanks. Im getting new plates tonight after work, I know I can hide the damage for now. The more I think about it the more curious I get about the damage. I barely looked at it cause I was late for the train. It was a quick glance and I had to leave. Just one of those stupid occurances.

Man, I would miss work if something like that happened to my Mustang. :D
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 02:11 PM LOL. I was sitting on the train thinking the same thing. I was gonna get off at the next stop and get a cab back :D
I was pretty distraught, I called my gf and she calmed me down. It sucks, but I think I was really freaking out cause of the upcomming show and I've been trying to get the car ready...as close to perfect condition as I can...then this happens.[:@]
Hopefully the damage is as I first assesd and is all behing the plate. If thats the case Ill live with it for the rest of the season then after winter I'll get the Roush Stage 3 BodyKit.[sm=Awwww.gif]
dstangrunner 06-16-2006, 03:26 PM Man that sucks. Good luck with the roush kit if you get it
amystery2u 06-16-2006, 03:37 PM At least you lived and don't have anything to report to the insurance company.
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 03:43 PM +1
Very true! Im going for a good hour drive up the freeway tonight and I would hate to think what would happen if the accident occured there [&:]
03YellowPony 06-16-2006, 03:49 PM That sucks. But at least the damage is minimal...a few more seconds of looking, and you could have been wearing the engine. I remember last year in W.Va, when I had my little accident...had the left fender, headlight, and the hood replaced. THANK GOD for full coverage insurance.
Clu7ch 06-16-2006, 03:49 PM hahahaha! some old lady did that to me when i had my truck!!!! i had an s10blazer and was stopped at a light for a good 20 seconds. than i feel a bump from behind. i thought maybe it's a friend messing with me. nope. old lady in a toreass. she split her bumper and the hitch was inside. i told her to just back up off of me (after waving traffic around) and she threw it in rev and wouldn't press hard enough to get the car off of me. cops pulled up and she decided to have me drive my car away from hers. she parked it, i hopped in, put it in second and pulled foward. heard a loud crack and thought i ripped her bumper off. got out and there was a 4 1/2 inch hole in her bumper. dummy!
here's another suck story for ya. a guy i talked to from the t-bird forum had a mark VIII white with nice subtle flames painted on the front. was supposed to do a shoot for one of the ford mags and literally a week before hand, someone keyed, and i mean KEYED the **** outta his car. the shoot was off and the whole car had to be re-sprayed
oh, one other thing

mustangman02232 06-16-2006, 04:06 PM sorry to hear that, get some pics of her though
Crsytal Ice 06-16-2006, 04:12 PM thats rough man, at least the damage wasn't too severe
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 04:22 PM Im grabbing some new plates before I head to Ancaster tonight, hopefully no one will be any the wiser:)
Crsytal Ice 06-16-2006, 04:25 PM Are you gonna be in Ancaster during teh night, if so lets meet up somewhere man, I'm only a stones throw away
Jefferson 06-16-2006, 04:28 PM I'll probably get there around 5 or 6 tonight and be there till sunday. I cant meet tonight but Ill shoot you a PM later tonight when I find out whats going on.
Crsytal Ice 06-16-2006, 04:30 PM sure man, let me know
Autobadges.com 06-16-2006, 05:10 PM is the rear OK??? lol
TheDrifter 06-17-2006, 02:30 AM Sucks man. I know how you feel. 2 days ago a Camaro pulled out in front of me when it had NO CHANCE of getting past me. I tried to dodge it but my front end rammed it and my whole side just "swung" into its side. I now have an Ohio license plate from his car on the front of mine along with $4000 worth of damage.
Clu7ch 06-17-2006, 03:45 AM ORIGINAL: TheDrifter
my whole side just fishtailed into its side.
:eek:maybe you should give up drifting?
JK bro, all in fun! hey, i got one here for you too!

AHHHHHHH! yeah, there it is! LOL!

If that is directed towards my name, it doesn't refer to "drifting". Its a song. And that song has no connections with F&F3 or anything of the such, trust me. [:'(]
xRockThePonyx 06-17-2006, 06:09 PM Sorry to hear about the downed horse, but you should have been concentrating on driving in traffic instead of playing social butterfly. [&:]
Hope everything works out for you.

i figured it was that or you move around a lot. was nothing personal, just a joke.
Jefferson 06-17-2006, 08:16 PM I have pics now but no way to resize them or blank out my plate on this computer. I guess Ill post them later.
I finally got the new plates but when I went to go get them the first time, the licence office told me it was my year to get an emmissions test. I went and passed with flying colours, of course and now its mostly better.

You don't have MS Paint? It comes standard with all of the windows OS's.
Jefferson 06-17-2006, 09:17 PM Im a snobby Graphic designer...I guess I could use paint.[&:]

03YellowPony 06-17-2006, 09:30 PM The first 2 looked like not any big deal, but the last 2...looks like a new front bumper cover for you. Sorry to say it....
Jefferson 06-17-2006, 09:34 PM I cheated a bit for the pic it moves slightly so i pulled it out a bit. When its in its not that bad. I wanna get the Roush stage 3 bumper, so I will leave this for now.
