Re: OT: My fun evening...
Heh. Reading this thread reminds me of my only major accident. My car, I swear, has a magnet in the rear bumper, 'cause I've been rear-ended three times. The second two weren't at speeds that caused any damage, but the first one...
I was stopped at red behind another car. That car, when the light turned green, decided to take its merry time moving; I was getting ready to honk when it did start puttering forward. I pulled my foot off the brake, and some idiot slammed into my rear end at about 25 MPH, in a Chevy Caprice or something similar (my car's a '93 Sunbird).
We don't know what the other guy was driving because, immediately after he hit me, he decided maybe it was better if he didn't stick around for the aftermath. Prick. Thankfully I was covered under uninsured motorists' coverage.
No one was hurt (one front and one rear passenger, and myself), but the rear end was just crushed. To fix it, they had to cut off the rear half of the car and replace it. Fun.
