Ok, before I start, I don't need to hear you say how bad of a driver I am and how this is a 'rookie mistake' and all that bullshit, this has been an emotionally traumatic experience enough as is. Thank you.

SO, it was friday night, about 6:00pm and I was driving back home for the weekend, and I was heading northbound on Interstate 94 and was just at weaver lake road in Maple Grove, I looked down for a split second, and when I looked up, the van that was about a second and a half, maybe two ahead of me had almost stopped. I reacted typically and slammed on my brakes and tried to get into the center lane... which was open thank god, but I still ended up hitting the vehicle ahead of me and he went into the center median and was stopped by the cables that are there to keep traffic on the right side... I ended up blocking the right 2 lanes of traffic for about 2 minutes cause my airbag went off and I couldn't breathe and was shellshocked. But, NOBODY was injured... I only suffered minor burns on my left arm and my elbow feels a little strange still, but all that matters is that we're all ok. And I have definitely learned my lesson, NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD.

Anyway, here are 2 pictures I was able to take yesterday when we cleaned her out at the impound lot.

that thing is a goner.

I am 70 miles from you. Do you want to sell it? I can get a flat-bed up there in no time.

BlueFusion6851 · 10-19-2008, 12:13 PM

Yeah, State Farm is having an auto body shop inspect it and see what kind of damage is done, except its being towed from Crystal to Sauk Rapids, which is another 70 miles from where you are. If they total it, we can work something out.

Funny thing was, after being towed to the impound lot, it started RIGHT up and he was able to move it.

I'll talk with my parents about it though, frenum.

frenum49 · 10-19-2008, 12:16 PM

Lemme know. I always keep cash on hand for this sort of thing.

***Eye8Pussies*** · 10-19-2008, 12:18 PM

BlueFusion6851 · 10-19-2008, 12:45 PM

Definitely, thanks for the kind words everyone.

I the curse ends with me though.

TheKevin · 10-19-2008, 05:38 PM

sorry to hear about the accident. glad you're alright.

xtremeskier97 · 10-19-2008, 05:47 PM

Man that sucks. Sorry to see another camry off the road. Glad you're ok!

I know Frenum is wanting it, but if Frenum is going to use some parts off it, I could too. So whichever of you two get/keep it, let me know. Just needing a couple small things.
