Thread: Here we go again...

  1. #1

    Default Here we go again...

    Driving home I exited the freeway at 75 and 380.

    I was in a turn left or go straight lane so I preceded into the interaction to turn left.

    The guy in the left lane and behind me was in a left turn only lane and decided to go straight. I never even saw him coming as he was at my 7 or 8 o'clock.

    His fault and he has insurance. I have a witness, police report and the guy admitting he was at fault. He was from out of town, an "Oakie" and fortunately for him he was very nice and apologetic. I was livid. After calming down and realizing no one was seriously hurt, I calmed down.

    Deep breaths.... Steven has been notified. Y'all can see the carnage in person at Propwash.

    Sorry to see this........glad you were not hurt.
    I guess all my years of riding bikes taught me if anybody can do anything dumb you need to be ready for it. Riding paranoid is not particularly fun but it kept me alive.

    Damn, William. Again?? I'm very sorry to see and read this, but I am also very pleased that you're (physically) okay.

    Sure hope Stevan has extra of your paint around to make the fix that much faster.

    glad to see it did not hurt you badly anyway and looks like the side is minor to what it could have been
    Maybe the repair will be quick

    That is an awesome looking car! It's an easy fix and won't take long. Easy to make that look like it never happened before

    Crazy. Perhaps you should have Rogue paint it Safety Cone orange?

    I wonder if the great artist that created this masterpiece will fix it...

    It is like asking Michelangelo to touch up the Sistine Chapel ceiling since it got a little schmutz on it from when we cut in the skylights....

    I think your quest to replace every original piece in that car is coming along nicely.

    Sorry to see this BR. I'm sure Rogue will take care of it.

    You just had to post those pictures of the last crash in the classified thread Monday. Your car remembered the fond time it had at propwash and decided it needed to go back.

    Really, sorry to hear this and glad you everyone was okay.

    Damn, William, again?! Glad you're ok. This guy didn't roll over too, did he?

    The rear clip looks pretty bad.

    Be glad it was an Okie with insurance, I was hit by a Mexi without it (they provided a Fred Loya card, but they denied it due to supposed late payment) luckily my unisured motorist covered me.

    Thanks everyone. I'm sore today as expected. Frustrated too. The car certainly is a magnet for pickups. Oh great, and I live in Texas where there are more pickups than anywhere else!

    I had a car turn left in front of me on my motorcycle thursday night. Got a broken wrist out of the deal. Fun times. Glad to hear only the car was hurt.

    I don't know if I would call cutting out a rear qtr and welding in a new one "easy" but I am sure Stevan will make it look as good as new.
