Drive My Car
man thats sucks big time....
my friend melissa was in a car accident several months ago... she was on her way to school when she found herself in the middle of a 4 car pileup. she was driving her brand new 2003 (or 2004?) Toyota Carolla S. not only was she really shaken up about the experience, but she really loved that car. she barely tappedf the person in front of her... but the person behind her plowed into her rear. she had burns on her face and arms from the airbag, and her back, neck and arms were sore for a couple weeks. the car was totalled. it took a couple of months before she would even talk to me about it. pretty scary.
anyways, after a while she started to look at other cars that she might buy with the insurance money. she bought the carolla because she couldnt aford a tacoma. but she really likes the infinity G35 and Lexus IS300. she figured she could take the insurance money, and add to that money she has earned since and get an even NICER car. she was excited about the prospect for a while. then... she just kinda stopped talking about it. then, wednesday, after months of not even talking about cars, she asks me about the Audi website. i thought to myself: cool, she wants to talk cars... she wanted to look at both the Audi and BMW sites with me. i was thinking she'd be really excited when i tell her about the upcoming Audi A3 and BMW 1 series.... which should fall within her price range and still give her the performance and prestige of owning a German Luxury Sports car. i myself was getting excited. in case you havent caught on.... im pretty obsessed with cars.
anyways, she signs on earlier and she is noticeably upset. aperently she got a letter that the accident was 100% her fault.
WTF?!?!??!!?!?!
how can it be her fault if she was car #2 in a 4 car pileup.. thats physicly impossible..... her car was caught in a space smaller than her car!!!!! it was unavoidable!!!!!!! and clearly she didnt affect the decidion of the person in front of her.... nor did she do that much damage to him/her. i dont fucking get it. all i know is that she is distraut about the whole situation. and frankly i am both baffled and pissed off. BLAH!

Sheesh. That sucks big time. She should appeal against it.
Airbags that burnt her face ?! Then what's the point of having airbags ? I thought they were supposed to protect ?
How is that possible that it's her fault?
And how did the airbags burn her?
Ugh. Sounds awful, miserable, and a massive headache.
I'd be really mad if I were her.
yeah. the bag expanding at super speed while yer skin is up against it and then contracting causes burns. (ever blown up a baloon and put your palm to it and let it deflate? now.... amplify that many times over. not good times.
the whole situation just sucks.
good point. and for that i AM thankful.
damnit nathan just when i think you're totally off yer rocker.... you suddenly have a flash of sanity and make sense....
You know me, I'm all about making cents.
