Saw that Mike got rear ended on FB.

and 1 · 01-23-2010, 10:18 PM

and then he went skiing the next day and completely forgot about it! what a day out there

but yeah, i did get rear ended last night on my way home from the gym. i had been stopped at a red light near bentley for maybe 5 seconds and boom -- he hit me right where the trunk meets the bumper, also getting the left tail light. the trunk won't stay closed, so even though the car's driveable, i really shouldn't use it. i'll be rocking my sister's jetta for the week

but like i said, skiing made a killer distraction. then just to tempt the gods a little more, i'm visiting the 1 tomrrow......keep your fingers crossed

yeah i think you do win

........sorry dude

Bdh821 · 01-24-2010, 05:28 PM

Well Rachel and Mike got hit by someone else... not their fault. I slid on black ice on rt2 Friday going to work and SMASHED a guardrail head on at 55mph... It doesn't look like it's totalled but it's in rough shape. I'm hoping insurance will understand it was due to blackice since my driving record is already terrible. UGH what a way to start off the year

larryn · 01-24-2010, 05:39 PM

I'm assuming you were in the Caddy? Sucks either way, but it's the winter car...

..and hope no injuries!

Bdh821 · 01-24-2010, 09:03 PM

Yeah I was in the Cadillac. It is my winter car, but a pretty badass one at that. It def wasn't some cheapy winter car thats for sure. Hopefully it's not totalled but either way, I wish this never happened. What a PITA dealing with car insurance

ML · 01-25-2010, 08:52 AM

Wow, I'm a little out of the loop for a couple of days and everyone runs out and destroys their car! Sorry to hear it guys.

amybang · 01-25-2010, 08:56 AM

On Saturday night, I went into the city to see a movie with some friends. We took the T in, but one friend drove and so we asked him to give us a ride home. And he was running stop signs and stuff and just generally not paying attention. When I protested he said "It's okay, we'll be fine" and I said "Um, 1-series owners are not doing so well this week, you really want to be more careful".

I made it home without incident.

those first few car washes after winter are a bitch, cuz you always find some new scratch/ding/chip

i hope that's the only one you find buddy

Bdh821 · 01-27-2010, 04:33 PM

I found out today that my caddy has "well over 5k" worth of damage... GMs brilliant engineers put the PCM right behind the front bumper. So in other words that got squished.

Sorry to hear about the door dings.. Winter is always a bitch on cars

arrutled · 01-28-2010, 06:30 AM

yeah. I got pulled for not stopping at a stop sign this morning. only got a warning thank goodness.
