Angry ES250 Totalled, the curse is at it again!

Well folks, today, i rear ended somebody. We come to a red light, i stop, driving nomrally. Light turns green, truck in front of me goes and then i go then he comes to a comnplete halt in the middle fo the road and WHAM! no more ES2.

On the upside, i didnt get a citation.

On the downside, My car is RUINED. Airbag Deployed and $6,000 down the *BLEEP*ing tube.

Damn, sorry to hear that.
Is there major structural damage?
It may still be repairable.
I know it won't be free but it doesn't hurt to look.

I'm no worse for the wear i guess... couple of slices and some airbag rash, ill live.


The cop asked if i wanted an ambulance, i said no, i cant afford one, and i have ahd worse. she said ok, but she will call one anyways. she said i didnt have to go with them but she is reqired by state law to call them if there is more than $500 damage to any vehcile in a pileup. i ended up being fine..minus these:







somebody help me, i need better *BLEEP*ing luck than this!

ill take pix of the devastation as soon as i go pick up the car, i had to wait for the cops to clear out. when she arived she asked which tow truck i wanted, i said "none". she said i couldnt drive it, i said, i have driven worse, i only live a few blocks away. she said she was calling a tow truck, i told her she could call it if she wanted but the guy wasnt going to get paid, cause i have $42 in the bank.

so she said, "do you have a way to get it home? cause its not street legal, if you are seen driving it home you will receive a citation." i said i knew that and that my dad was coming with a pickup.

as soon as i get back there, guess what, i am driving it home. the last time i paid one of theire rotation wreckers, it was $285 for 3 miles, i am NOT doing that *BLEEP* again, i cant. i havent the funds.

It doesn't look that bad. Now you have a good excuse to get a new MOMO or etc. steering wheel.
