I just rear-ended a dude going 30 mph. my solara is smashed. his Ford pickup doesn't even have a dent on it. Both lights are out, hood folded, bumper torn, directionals knocked out, grille destroyed.

But it runs.


sigh.

A word of wisdom: never change songs on an ipod while driving...

That sucks, sorry to hear that.

Trucks are the way to go when it comes to accidents, Ive been rear ended before in my Pathfinder and it didnt get a scratch or dent anywhere on it.

Surprisingly, the title says it all.

My words of wisdom: If you need tires, dont drive in the rain.

oh yah, and hopefully you'll get a better rental car than the dodge avenger 4cyl i got stuck with.

[SleeperSolara]

Sorry to hear that man.
That sucks.
It's just like textin' on the phone or talkin' on the phone.
It takes away your attention.

yeah thanks guys, luckily no one was hurt at all, i wasn't even shaken up, just upset. I used to text and mess with the iPod a lot, but i have learned a valuble lesson from this. one text can cost you 2 grand.

[Donnie]

Yeah that just sucks

back in high school i was futzing with my portable CD player in my old 88 camry. missed a slight curve in the road and before i could react, i'd hit a light pole. did you know it costs $3500 to replace an aluminum light pole? i did about 3500 of damage to my camry too. it ran, but couldn't move, as the RF wheel was only attached by the upper strut mount and the tie rod. it'd ripped apart the control arm and pulled the CV axle out of the transmission. not to mention smashing lights and pushing the fender over the RF door so you couldn't open the door more than a few inches... i went from 40 to 0 in one car length without touching the brakes.

that's why i'm putting so much work into making my carputer as simple to use as possible. simple enough to operate BLIND, so i don't have to take my eyes off the road.

Wow man, sorry to hear that. Changing songs on my ipod is how I flipped my first car...

[Chinky420]

geez, i didn't realize that ipods were that hazardous to drive with!

i just hook mine into my head unit and control via the faceplate....my peripheral vision stays on the road at all time

[TLMNICK]

Sorry to hear man, but glad you're ok.
I feel your pain as well. I had an accident last year with my maxima, and though it wasn't my fault....it was still seen that way since the dude that screwed me over was ultimately rear-ended by my car.

[Skew]

I am sorry to hear that man.

[GreenSolara01]

Happened to me on Sat last week, I'll get my car back fri,,,, I hope. I know it sux!
