For as little as I drive the thing, it's amazing how many accidents I've avoided in this particular car. I've dodged, deer/racoons, semi trucks, Amish buggies, stones, even inattentive drivers, but always managed to come around them unscathed. So many things have tried to hit me before...

Guess my luck just ran out.

sorry to hear about your ride

Dude that sucks... hopefully you won't lose any money on the situation.

One thought, take pictures of your face and other personal injuries, facial cuts scare the crap out of insurance companies. It won't be much if you aren't scarred but you can probably get $5k-10k by simply paying a few hundred bucks to a lawyer to write a letter for you.

That would be a good way to productively get your anger out!

The insurance company did ask me if I was seeking medical attention for the injuries and I said no. The cuts are so minor no one will see scars.

I feel for you... I too had a 98 VR4 that was totaled due to being hit by a driver that was in a rush and didn't pay attension.

Sorry to hear your story. I hate drivers that don't pay attention. I too have been nearly hit sooo many times due to people simply not paying attention to the road.

Best of luck

holy crap Greg. I'm so sorry dude. Absolutely unbelievable. Pieces of crap that shouldn't be driving in the first place cause this shit, totally in the wrong, and then the police have the GONADS to try and issue you a ticket? FOR F#$%ING WHAT?

For not calling the police the instant the accident happened I guess... I donno, I wasn't given one, so I'm not sure what that was about.

We spent about 25min collecting info and calling insurance companies. Neither of us knew the number for the local PD and no stores were open. I finally just called 911 and spoke to dispatch. The officer didn't arrive for another 25 min. By then, the truck driver left the scene, and the mexican went back to his house to warm up. Being I was the only one there, he was FLIPPED out at me for all that and because I moved the car from the street into the parking lot so we could inspect the tanker for leaks.

My patience was very very thin but I kept my cool...

The truck left the scene? What? That's illegal.
