This is what happens when.....

brettw22 · January 2005

a Honda Accord encounters a Chevy Suburban.

It was a great drive home from work earlier tonight. I'm going to take a bunch of pictures tomorrow to eliminate the blurry night-light effect, so I'll give y'all a few to look at.

My seat was snapped back and is at a 45 degree angle and is bent sideways....that'll be replaced I'm sure.

I had JUST realized that I need to get my **** movin on a car purchase too yesterday when I got my car statment and realized that I only had 7 months to go before the lease is over.

pjdami · January 2005

Damn dude. You okay? That looks like it would hurt. Hope all is well with you.

Time for that new Chrysler you wanted especially if the other driver was in the wrong. If you get hit in the rear the other driver is at fault right?

brettw22 · January 2005

Ya.....SHE (lol) was cited and I wasn't. And I COMPLETELY agree, the Chrysler is calling my name.

It's not damaged to the point of being totalled unfortunately.

I'm ok, just have a bit of tightness between my shoulderblades somewhat mid back, but not painful at this point. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

I saw her headlights moving across my rearview so I braced myself because she was NOT going slow.

RuSsMaN · January 2005

OUCH!

Man, spend the $200~ or some such to get checked out, regardless. You're a stout guy, so you SHOULD be fine, but you never know.

That's weird how the collision made your plate 'swirl' like that. It makes me want to do some mushrooms and stand pantless in front of the computer with my Davey Crockett hat on, and various sandwhich condiments at the ready.

One word: lurkers

Demiurge · January 2005

Glad you're OK. I had a similar experience at a stoplight when a later slammed into me going 45 MPH as I was just about coming to a complete stop. Luckily she was only driving a Mustang.

I second getting checked out....Sometimes you don't feel the real pain until a few days or even a week after the accident.

At least you're not in too bad of shape. Good luck with the new car.

gatemplin · January 2005

I got hit today too. Guy slammed into me at an intersection. Nothing like that though. Hardly any damage to my Integra fortunately.

MacLeod · January 2005

I had a little old lady run a red light on me a couple weeks ago and I creamed her in my work truck (tractor trailer). Even tho it was her fault, since I have a CDL, it goes on as "preventable" which with the 2 tickets Ive gotten this year pretty much finishes my driving carrer. :mad:

dorokusai · January 2005

Two things to remember when in an accident.....always go get checked regardless of how you feel....and when the other insurance company calls, simply say, "See you in court, thanks for calling."

disneyjoe7 · January 2005

Dud go get checked out, you'll really be sore in a few days... trust me.

Also I personally wouldn't buy anything other then a Toyota or Honda and or their siblings.;)

brettw22 · January 2005

I saw a price for a Camry that was very appealing, but c'mon.........

I never really realized how small my car was until I started traveling and driving more full sized cars and when I came home on the weekends realized that the Accord is just too small for me.

The Chrysler 300 is VERY much my size, and that car is HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Ok Brett, Chrysler I don't know if I want to own anything American sorry been bit to many times and never wish to spend a lot of time in repair shops.

For the size Acura TL (nice car good size and Quick) Bias own one. Or maybe the Toyota 4 runner for the size.

brettw22 · January 2005

Thank you.....

I was laughing at the site because I'm like.......my bumper is practically inside out......

I mean, what do ya do......**** happens

F1nut · January 2005

Brett, glad you're still here with us. As the others stated, get checked out. Having been rear-ended once before I can tell you tomorrow you will be a hurting pup.

RuSsMaN · January 2005

F an Acura, or any sport ute (sans Jeep and Range Rover).

My man needs a Sedan. A performance sedan. A lead-sled.

G'head, get your 300 on broham, that's a **** PIMP ride. I ain't riding in it with you though. I was dead sober at the last gathering riding in your Grand AM GT rental, **** that.

Let's just say this, if Brett was going to start doing bolt-on's for his ride, to enhance performance - the first thing he should get are some BIG Brembo's. (In a nutshell, Ferrari brakes for you fuckheads).

Jesse, exactly how many times have you been 'rear-ended'. **** sicko.

Cheers,
Rooster

brettw22 · January 2005

It's ALWAYS fun times to be the sober driver with a group of drunks.....the only downside being those that are so drunk that they're oozing the scent from every pore of their being......:p

I will take on any Chrysler 300 with my TL type S ANY DAY ANY TIME.

For the record my brother in-law who I took for a RIDE almost **** his pants. Something I found out through my wife after she talked to her sister and something I shouldn't know or talk about. That ****

disneyjoe7 · January 2005

This **** **** who told his MOMMY, is the reason I couldn't take the CAR to go to Charleston. I would have trouble keeping it under 100 will until Ted got in to the CAR.

PolkThug · January 2005

I know just the car for you. I've got a car for sale that's more pimp and cheaper than a Chrysler 300:

F1nut · January 2005

Once Russ, Chevy sedan I believe. Now, who's cheeks were hanging out at BDT's?

dorokusai · January 2005

Please say I wasn't near those cheeks.....oh no, I just remembered.

RuSsMaN · January 2005

Doro, we BOTH had our cheeks in full view (moon), on both the front AND back deck.

You looked like a goat, I looked like a Clydesdale, if I recall the comments correctly.

Acura my foot, I'll put my S-10 up against that rice, any day of the friggin week. And no, you don't get to peek under my hood first.

Acura's are something bald white men that collect anal **** drive. Not that I'm pointing fingers or anything.

Cheers,
Rooster

I did see that.....but if a Honda Accord is too small for me, I'm sure the hell not gonna try to squeeze my **** into a 3 series......Nice car nonetheless.

The 300 has lines that rage sex-appeal.....NO other car on the road has the pimp/muscle look of that car that I've seen.

Tour2ma · January 2005

I'll add to the "glad you're OK, but get checked out parade"...

Had a Buick knock the rear bumper into the back seat of my Chevy Monza 2+2 (talk about your hot little numbers) back in 1980. I was stopped at a light; he was doing an estimated 50 mph.

I was KO'd for the 2nd time in my life.... But it took a couple weeks for back problems to show.

Having ridden with you when you ran Polk Paul and Al to their hotel in Charleston, I'll also 2nd Russ' brake upgrade recommendation for whatever new ride you choose...

Don't bogart that joint my friend........ :cool:

You're a rip, brother! Every time I read a jewel like this one, I can't get that Dylan line out of my head from "It's Alright Ma" - "If my mind dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head inside a guillotine."

If my Acura isn't ahead for you by a half a car length or more, I will stop working on my PORCH and will bolt on / bolt off / rebuilt ANYTHING I need to... Ok if I can get that 428HO Pontiac engine in the Acura (I'm not sure there will be 4 seat after but I will not loss):)

Very nice choice brett, mopar all the way :cool:

I'm glad that you're ok, just watch out for that soft tissue damage... you're muscles got wrenched pretty bad, especially since you braced yourself (i know it's instinct but it actually complicates the trauma) get yourself checked out and if it complicates, the chicks insurance company will be buying the 300 for you

...

and on one last note.... 'Damn female drivers...'

danger boy · January 2005

Brett, glad to hear you are fine man. sorry to hear you were rear ended. theres no way to avoid a accident like that. ever.

Last time i was rear ended. was about three years ago. some **** came barreling off the freeway exit and I could see in my rear view mirror there was no way he was going to be able to stop in time.

Sure enough. he smacked into me. doing about the same amount of damage as yours. I was sore for a couple days, that's for sure.

Insurance companies expect you to go get checked out. I'll do it every time.. hope you do to.

Case in point. I was sitting in court last month.. and this lady decked this other guy with her purse... in court they aske the guy who got hit if he ever went to his doctor to get checked out. He didn't. His lip was cut and he had a sore neck, but never saw a Dr. for it.

Well to make a long story short.. because he never saw a Dr. the judgement against her was reduced. In court her lawer kept referring to "why" he never seeked medical attention.

anyway BrettMan, best of luck.. and now it's time for a new ride.

trubluluc · January 2005

Brett-

Just saw this thread, I hope you are still feeling ok today. What a hassle.
Big SUV's, Cell phones, chicks, are a scary combination, especially when behind you.

take is easy today bud,

-Luc

Jstas · January 2005

Uhh dude, if your seat was that screwed up, that badly then you had better get checked out. If the force of teh accident was enough to break the seat then it was more than enough to do injury. Go get checked out so you know whats going on. Even if you aren't feeling it now, you could end up doing something else that will just worsen the condition.

As far as the car, yeah, those 300C's are ****! Very snazzy car. Wish the wife wanted one instead of a Pontiac G6. I could get into the 300C.

Oh and don't listen to the "brand bigotry" Acura schmacura and the hell with the cookie cutter Camry. You're 100% right, they are too small. Especially for a guy your size. Don't let anyone's mis-informed ramblings assuade your desire to own a 300C. Infact, the only thing I will say is that you should wait a bit for the 300C SRT-8 to come out! That will be a snazzy ride with a HUGE set of gonads to go with it!

Now to stop the pissing contest. Anybody want to put thier ride up? I'll give you 3 car lengths! I'm not gonna take any wagers though. It'd be like taking candy from babies.
