My other baby :(

GSchneider · June 13th, 2013, 07:19 PM

I was leaving work, went down the street and a dump truck went into my lane and was slowing down and I went into the right lane to get around him and when I was passing him he went back into the right lane and swiped my car. I almost grabbed my bike this morning and IDK what the outcome would have been! I am so grateful I took the car today and not my bike!

This is what hit me!

not that its any of my business but, you are same person that posted in OFF topic about just graduating college and landing your dream job.

but... you already drive a BMW?

(sorry just trying to piece things together)

Graduation present...

bummer! that's not a cheap car to fix. Don't let them take it to some crappy place to get the body work done. You don't have to go to the cheapest place around. Get some quotes on your own, push for a nice coachworks place that does high end cars.

always be cautious when "passing" anything on the right. It's actually illegal in a lot of places. Construction trucks especially, they make unexpected maneuvers and need to take wide right turns.

sucks man, but glad you are ok!

Good thing you did take the car

250rr · June 17th, 2013, 09:41 AM

Sorry to see this. Nice car, however!

I wish my semi-retired parents would buy me $20,000+ presents

Was only 10k. And I'm planning on paying them back for it.

Slono · June 17th, 2013, 11:51 AM

You're what I call a decently responsible person. You have no idea how many people I met at university who were driving around expensive cars that their parents bought new a "gave" to them.

GSchneider · June 17th, 2013, 11:54 AM

I'll have enough money saved up by the end of the year to pay them back in full. I want them to spend that money on themselves and have some fun with it!

Xtina · June 17th, 2013, 12:18 PM

There was a kid on the r6 forum that had a Camero that he didn't like anymore so his parents bought him a new srt Jeep Cherokee (like $70k car). He was 18 and needless to say he got hounded by the guys on there. lol Good on you op for paying your parents back. ****** accident though.

CC Cowboy · June 17th, 2013, 02:34 PM

I didn't see any damage to the truck. Is the truck driver pressing charges from you hitting him?

GSchneider · June 17th, 2013, 02:39 PM

I got a call from the police today and they said that this was such weird accident. And that they can't find one specific person at fault. So they closed the police report as no fault on either parties. So now our insurances will have to see who is more at fault.

There was no damage at all to the truck.

ChaoSS · July 16th, 2013, 01:39 PM

If you had been in the bike you probably would have been able to avoid the accident.

But maybe not the accident in your pants.

Madman44 · July 18th, 2013, 01:55 PM

I'm glad you're alright. I had a similar experience earlier this year. I had to decided to drive my car instead of my bike. I was sitting at a red light when someone plows into my rear (lol).
