In typical Phoenix rush hour fashion, I'm stopped in the fast lane. Car ahead starts moving, I ease off the clutch, and BAM! I'm looking at the headliner.
Sunglasses on the passenger floorboard next to the ashtrtay, whichj has exploded, showering the interior with loose change. Pen in shirt pocket now under my feet, seat fully reclined, moonroof shade opened about 3 inches. I can feel where my neck muscles attach to the side of my head. Car is still running, AC still humming away, I'm listening to "All Things Considered."
Guy in 07 Jetta and I exit the highway and pull into a parking lot. At first, I can't believe it's not worse than this. His front bumper cover has a bunch of little cracks and the lip is separated, but doesn't look nearly as bad as it felt. (Which is worse than the Kia incident.)
464/1000 will be totaled tomorrow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Drove it home, but...
- rear bumper cover deformed, sagging driver side
- trunk is cock-eyed, huge gap on driver side, no gap passenger
- rear quarter, driver side, wedged against back door, paint is chipped
- rear pillar, driver side, has a small buckle up top
- oh yeah, and the pass auto belt is jammed too
Allstate says I'm not at fault, but I heard the other guy say he hit me because I stopped too fast. I was already stopped. This will be another fight.
Will post updates as I have them. For now, just want to eat, chain smoke, and go to bed.
