6 days 2 crashes

[cam]

6 days ago I am minding my own business 4 cars back in the turn lane at a red light. A car makes a turn to go in the opposite direction that I am facing and low and behold she bakes the back end rotating her car counter clockwise smashing her front right with my front left and then completing her rotation smashing her back right with my back left. Did she hit the car in front of me, nope, the car behind me, nope, just me. When I saw this car spinning towards me every milli second seemed about 3 seconds. We were both surprised that she only took me out and not 3 or 4 cars. Anyways, go to ICBC and the damage estimate is $3400 to my car. I take my car to a Ford body shop and it is going to be about 3 weeks till they get to my car. My car is still driveable so off I go. Well today I'm on my way to work, I make a stop at a red light, not a panic stop, a normal under control stop. I must have been stopped for about 2 to 3 seconds and then WHAM! Rear ended. Let me tell you folks, when you don't expect it it is quite a shock. This guy thought I was going to yank him out of his car and drill him. My neck hurts, I've got a pounding head ache, and left shoulder kills. Oh ya did I mention my car is not even 4 months old. I am pi$$ed. I know things come in three's so lets just say I am scared $hitless. What is next, a bolt of lightning.

I had my relatively inexpensive (>$13000) brandy new car three weeks. We went to a poetry reading in Bayonne, which featured poets of a certain minority, and come out to find my car keyed all the way from the left front fender to the back. Now, do I go thru insurance and pay for the next x years, pay for it myself, or simply live with it and carry a bit of a grudge for those of that ethnic persuasion who lived in that neighborhood?

Jeez, cam, that's a bummer!

Not to sound like a sue-er, but I'd get a MRI scan for soft tissue damage. Split or damaged discs are no laughing matter, I've got three and you want NONE!.

And remind me not to get in a car with you!! Just kidding, my bro-in-law had two crashes back-to-back a coupla months ago, not his fault, he didn't get back to "normal" driving till recently, it really shook him up.

And Mark, DEFINITELY go with the grudge lol. I'd get an estimate and do it myself if reasonable.

Believe me when I tell you, every intersection I cross now, I think to myself, this could be the end. Did you ever see FINAL DESTINATION. If you have you will know how I feel right now. Number 3 is coming, I just don't know when or where. If I stop posting, you'll know why.

Allright Cam. Here is what you do. Go get in your car right now and back into a tree or post or something. LIGHTLY! Your car is already toast. What's a little more damage? This will get #3 out of the way and you can rest at ease.

Sounds like you've escaped "death's design". Better be careful from now on

Hey Chris, good to hear from you. I do believe I have fooled the GODS. I took JSE's advice. On a different note, you might want to get rid of that Site Administrater title beside your name before the new sherrif Eric rips your heart out. Or have you come back for your job.
