Freak occurance - deja vu

[jmgladden]

Just wanted to share a little story of mine, not very long...has to do with a couple of accidents and a P10 G.

It was the summer before my senior year in high school, about 3 years ago, when I was driving to work in my mom's 1996 G20t. (I was saving for my car...) Well, I was driving down Dunlap going just over 40 MPH, the speed limit, as I went through the an intersection. What I hadn't noticed was that traffic had come to a dead stop on the other side of it. BOOM! I run into the back of a Ford Thunderbird at about 35 MPH, which proceeded to hit a newer BMW. I thought shit, am I ever screwed. In the end, the car was in the shop for about a month, and damage came out to just over $12,000 to the G. Total between all three cars involved was just over $20,000.

Here's the freaky part, about three months later, I am driving to work again, down the same road, at the same intersection, in the same car, at almost the same time. This time, traffic was at a dead stop again, and I slowed to a perfect stop. About 5 seconds later, I hear screaching brakes and immediately thing 'Oh shit, hear we go again.' Next thing I know, the car lunges forward into a mini-van. I get out and start laughing, mainly because it wasn't my fault. A Dodge Dakota had nailed a Toyota Corolla which hit me. I looked at the bumper, and the grille emblem from the Corolla had tainted my rear bumper by embedding itself in it. Total damage to the G from this accident: $7,000.

From that day forward, I have never gone through that intersection. After that second accident, my mom bought a 99 I30t.

Anyone else has anything weird like that happen to you and your car?

Thanks for reading.

Some intersections are like that. There is one I know of where everyone runs the yellow light and by the time they go through it has been red for a couple seconds. When the light turns green wait a while then go or you will be hit guaranteed.

I always wait a couple seconds before the light turns green. Sometimes the driver waiting to make a left turn is dazed and then he notices the red and goes for the left and kaboom.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me (well atleast sort of). When wrecked my car it was a 4 car pile up simlar to yours but with less speed. On Monday I was sitting at the same intersection going the other direction and the exact thing that happened to me happend all over again, thankfully I was a witness and not involved in the wreck.
