Default I also cannot have nice things..

Rear ended a Tacoma on the way home from work, he locked his brakes,
girl ran across the street (Not at a crosswalk)...Im still at fault and car is a total write off.

Very first accident Ive ever been in, luckily my insurance will go down $33/month after the loss haha
Accident forgiveness and expired tickets.

Good news is I got a half decent settlement with some intense arguing and I'll more than likely be looking at another ISF shortly..

Wow! Thank goodness you came out all right from that. The damages don't speak to how devastating things could have turned, but what's important is that you're able to walk away from it unscathed. Best of luck with the new F.

Glad you're ok. I rear ended someone 5 months ago in a rental vehicle at 15 MPH, the results were not as bad but still not pretty. All it took is a 2013 CTS-V I was looking at........

So much for my 18 years of accident free driving.

Anyways, it's all about what you learn from it, increase the distance and SA.

Hope you get another IS-F.

2. Someone should stop this little girl and speak to her parents, if I'd have a close call and the parent was around, they would be getting yelled at. Way too much liability to be doing something like this.

sorry to hear that. hate to see an F die.

I learned my lesson in the VM GTI. They consider it not having control of your car. Ticket and insurance. Sucks.

Yea the way I hit the Tacoma too made it so much worse, we both were nose diving....

Higher than your average Tacoma when its braking hard and I was lower than your average sports car when I hammered the brakes.

The lame part is that I saw it coming as I had time to touch the brakes, just not enough distance.

At least I got this out of it about a week before it was sentenced to death lol.
