people must hit my car just cuz its plastic

Coldsolderjoint · 04-09-2004, 03:11 AM

yeah, so i was out shopping for tint prices today, i went to three places and all were closed, i guess early cuz of good friday...

so im on my way home on 287 and theres killer traffic.. the speedlimit is 65(i think) and everyone was going about 15-20mph.. i had just gotten the change out of my pocket for the parkway and out of the corner of my eye, i see a big ass blue ford on my ass in my rearview mirror.. im like oh ****, hes gunna hit me.. yeah.. he did, it all happend in like a second so i tried hitting the brakes so i didnt hit the guy in front of me, but that didnt happen.. i got launcehd into the lincoln in front of me..

the lincoln has some scuffs on its rear bumper.. i didnt feel it, so i dont know if hes gunna need a new bumper or not..

the ford (im guessing crown vic from the 80's?) had nothing, but the little plastic car's front license plate is ripped off and bent up, front bummper has deep scrathes on it, the rear bumper has a bumper print in it, and scrathes, and the thing that pisses me off the most, my drivers seat broke when he hit me.. it moved back about 3 clicks.. now, i can put it back up, but if u like slam ur back into it, it will slip..

i drove the car home, and it seems that those are the only three things wrong.. called the cops, the trooper came out and now i gotta wait till the report is available.. i have a bad feeling that shes gunna write it up wrong.

theres no collision on my car.. just liability.. so, im prolly gunna get f** in the a$$ from the lincoln anyway..

my neck was feeling alittle wierd alittle while ago .. i think im gunna go to the hospital tommorow to get checked out..

goddamn it, im moving to some midwesternstate where there are no cars..

so much for modding my car, on the ride home, i seriously thought about why im putting money into the car if it could be gone just like that...

good thing i dont have school next week so i wont have to drive with the broken seat.. its perfectly driveable, but i dont want to chance it should i get hit in the back again.

yeah, so people say bad things come in threes.. first was the side swipe, second is this.. what's next? i hope i dont die in the third.. oh well at least both guys stopped in this accident...

RANT OFF, i love this place.. i can say what ever i want to

LAWSUIT!!!

That really sucks man. I kid hit me at a light last summer. I was taking a left and the light turned green so I stayed to wait for the opposing traffic to go and the dude didn't like that so he floored it right into the back of me. Now my back bumper and lots of scratches and some big grooves.

You'll be driving a Mclaren by the time you get done with those suits.

wow... that really blows. I take that way everyday to get to and from school. But today for some reason it was worse. I guess the combination of people getting home from work and going to relatives homes created the clog up. People cut in and out to get on the Parkway but the rain makes it even worse, people just dont think or pay attention.

Driving in Central New Jersey is like driving in New York City. You have to be aggressive but careful at the same time. You don't know how good other people have it in other states with less people and $400 a year car insurance.

The traffic just keeps getting worse and they try to do construction to keep up but by the time they get done, you need another 6 lanes for the change in traffic flow. Its getting worse and worse.

I wonder... is plastic really gonna save my life in an accident or will that 6,000 lb all metal SUV crush me like a plastic cup?

As far as I know, I also do not have ABS. What's with this seat feature? Is it suppose to prevent whip-lash?

sattygirlnKC · 04-09-2004, 04:26 AM

yeah all saturns have the seat feature where if you get hit from behind your seat drops back a little to prevent you from completely flyin' forward. i got hit from behind about two weeks ago, all that happenned to my saturn was a few scratches on the bumper while his car (don't know what it was, he ran off but the police caught him) had pieces of it lying in the road, and it was a BIG car, like an 80's luxury car or something. when the police caught him though he was stoned, didn't have insurance, and had a few warrants out. sucks to be him. but yeah, thank god for saturn safety features.

hahahaha, thats some great **** there. that signature.

Coldsolderjoint · 04-09-2004, 04:31 AM

so is the seat broken completley or is there someway to like "reset" this?

00SaturnSC2 · 04-09-2004, 04:46 AM

man, i am still sorry for you. Check with your state laws and insurance on the liability deal.

Also, now you got more reason to put racing seats in your car.

Third you probably pinched a nerve.

todaresqSL2 · 04-09-2004, 05:02 AM

Since you got rear ended... the guy who hit you is at fault... for all damages... did you file a police report???
