So I get a call from my neighbor that my car has been hit by someone. Cops were called and all is being taken care of. The story I recieved was that the driver swerved to avoid another car and just slammed into my car. Possible? Yes. My thoughts...cell phone texting. No visible skid marks. Oh well at least no one was hurt. Not expecting to come home from work to this. I rarely drive my truck to work but this week I drove it a lot. Should have driven the car!!! This car was saving sooo much mileage and fuel money!!! I'm imagining they'll total it because of what the car is worth vs. the amount to repair. I need a longer driveway!!!

 

OUCH! Well, no one hurt, so all in all, much opportunity for the weekend to improve.

We just had a situation where a lady drifted off the road and killed a jogger running 8' off the shoulder of the road. Her defense? "Sun in her eyes". Huh? The road runs north-south... But little facts like that seem to be ignored and it appears she will get away with it. Personally, I say pull all cell phone records and if she was texting or talking, that is involuntary manslaughter at least. 2nd degree murder seems even more appropriate to me as she CHOSE to ignore her responsibility to drive.

 

That sucks, I just hate dealing with the insurance on these type of things...

 

They admitted guilt and the cops filed a report, just need to pick it up.

 

Sooo.. Wheres the other car? I'll bet theres a lot of front end damage on that car too.

 

sorry to hear this and good luck with shopping for new car.
Don't know if that would make you feel better, but fellow member on other forum had very similar incidents on his Mercedes parked at his workplace. Problem is that the other guy run away leaving no phone number.

 

def a write off..

that old of a impala is gunna cost way to much to repair..

 

Other car was towed away. Neighbor told me the front end was destroyed! I got home 10 min after they towed the other car.

 

how dare you....

 

Sorry about your luck but good riddance to the impala. My mom had one in 03 and that sucker ate transmissions. After the 4th one i made her get something else. Buy a mustang with the insurance money you will be much happier

 

I think I'll be lucky to get $4k from this, hardly enough to buy a mustang, unless from 1992, let alone anything else. This impala was actually a really good car. We'll have to see what the assessment gives me.

 

I'm assuming your mad for me wanting to drive the car?

 

I forgot where your from but down here you can pick up a clean fox body 5.0 for around 3500

 

Western New York, salt loving winter area. If its older than 5 years its a rot box, or if in good shape way overpriced!

 

Finding a decent car is rediculous! Hate buying others problems!! I hope I can find something soon or the 350 might have to go on the chopping block next year
