Default another rear-ended SC checking in

Well it meant to happen sometime, driving to work for 1 and a half hours each way every day in traffic. I got rear-ended making a U-turn. The stupid thing is that I wasn't even soppoused to be there in the first place because I went south by accident instead of north on 75, and when i got off on the first exit to turn around, I pulled into a turnaround and BAM! my rear is smashed to hell. Well, nothing left to do but get the 97 rear bumpers and taillights now lol I had the front bumper conversion and sideskirts sitting in my basement for almost a year now, because didn't have time or money to put them on, but now its time. The only thing that sucks is that I was going to put them on in the spring, so now im in front of a dillema, do I put them on now with a full re-paint, and risk screwing it up in the winter, or do I drive like this for another...ugh....like 5 months! I hate michigan, seriously....

Sucks about your car. I rear ended someone, slightly, the other day...I was so pissed .

Hardly no damage, though.

Put on your new bumpers, and put a "under construction" sticker on.....for now.

Default Me too

About to 2 months ago on the commute to work I was reared by a Ford Explorer doing a last second lane change into my lane ..
I was at a dead stop.. in traffic >The Explorer nailed me at about 35mph..
Thank God I was seating in a good posture rather in a cruzy lay back way..
I was not injured in any ways at this time.
Well I end up with about $4000 in insurance appraised damages along w/ medical & lost time at work..
But it will to cost me a additional $3600 to paint the other parts of the car to match the new paint..
And since I'm getting these done . I got a real Vertex kit to get painted aswell..
The bigg sux thing is that the Explorer driver was not the owner of the car..
And original owner had no insurance no updated policy...
My insurance will only cover the damges area..
I'm getting some legal advise to get me some help.. if any help

Default I got it yesterday and now you today.

Dammit! Sorry to hear that.

I am waiting to hear from the other driver's insurance company on mine. I remember driving back and forth on 75 from Flint to Detroit.
