I was driving down Abercorn on my way to work Friday morning. I was crusing down the street about 7:45am, excited b/c I know as soon as I get off work I have to go home, wash and wax my car, and then meet up with my friends so we can all ride up to the drag strip for imports vs. domestics night. The traffic ahead is moving slow and I start to brake b/c the cars ahead are coming to a halt for the stop light. My car comes to a stop and I look into my rear view mirror. I see a gold Saturn coming pretty fast toward me and all I can think is, "Oh my God this bitch is never going to stop in time. I hold the brake pedal to the floor, brace myself with my arms on the steering wheel, and grit my teeth. Suddenly, "WHAM!" this car plows into me going about 40mph, my car slams forward and bumps the BMW in front of me. My head and neck plunge forward and then I am slammed back against the seat. As I gather my senses, I wonder exactly how much damage is done to the rear of my car. I step out and see my rear bumper lying on the ground. My rear frame is almost ripped in half from the impact. My exhaust is bent downwards and the muffler is cracked from the exhaust. I open the trunk and the muffler is jammed up bent the inside of the trunk up. I shut the trunk in disgust and now it won't close. Both of my rear quarter panels are dented from the impact and the toe of my rear tires is now making them point inward. Pieces of the Saturn's headlights are scattered all over the road. I have always been kidding about wanting my car to get rear-ended, but now this is reality. The insurance company says that they will probably total it and estimate the damages to be around $7800. I will be getting a final estimate on Monday. Reality starts to set in and I'm pretty upset to know that I won't be driving my black civic anymore. The same car I've put so much money and time into will be gone.
I've got my stereo, apexi vafc, and razo shift knob off. I know the owner of the Body shop personally and he's got it locked up in the garage Next week I'll have to find some stock rims/tires so I can get my rims, and I'll get the guy to solder off my muffler. Today I had to go and rent a crappy Toyota Corolla and it sucks to see everyone driving they're Hondas around. On the way home from the rental car place, I pulled in the gas station, picked up a Tell n' Sell and the most recent Auto Trader and began my search for a new beginning.
