I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I almost just died, again

Post by tomoyasu » October 06, 2006

how cool right? WRONG. i was driving down Deno rd. came to a stop sign, and stopped. Looked left and saw no one comming, looked right, waited for a car to go by and then i went. Then i hit a truck. I got him in the rear right quater panel with my front right. Not too much damage was done to his, just a dent and some paint scradpe. As for my little baby, the right 1/4 of the bumper broke off, got my radiator punched, and the hood, head light is super fucked. The guy wasnt hurt at all, as for me, i just hit my knees on the dash so they are a little hurt and swolen.

The dude was pretty cool about it, wants to settle it without getting insurance involved which is nice. Just gotta pay for his damages and thats that. As for my car, i dont know what im going to do. I dont really think its worth the money to fix it. it will probably cost more than i bought the car for. So i find this a good oppertunity to get a new car, hopefully a honda fit. something thats safer, and actually has airbags.

Just think, a cople of more feet and i would no longer be among the living.

Oh well, life goes on.

p.s. ill get pics up when the car gets back

yeah, we are just gonna fix the radiator so its drivable, and we are weighing the options of fixing it, or just getting a new car...and my dad wont co-sign for a new car so a fit is not gonna happen :( so im thinking an EG hatch. im probably gonna be able to spend around 1500 maybe 2k for one.
