2 accidents, 6 days >(

[flamewalker]

urgh... I just got in my second accident in 6 days. No injuries this time either fortunately.

I've only had this car for maybe 3 weeks... starting to think this thing is a curse... I went about 3 years no accidents or tickets in my Saturn... then I buy this car and get 2 in a weeks time :/

Its a 97 honda accord se btw.

First one dented my fender, this one scraped up my front right bumper pretty good. no dents though. The other car... of all things was a new lexus suv. I nailed her side quarterpanel pretty good... not bad but it don't look great either.

I'm very close to just selling the damn thing... I'm half-scared of driving it now. Guess my luck has run out

*sigh*

PS: I accidentally posted the same message in the California section... mods feel free to delete the other one.

Were both accidents your fault? Must have been at pretty low speed to only rub the bumper.

At the beginning of the summer, my friend accidentaly ran into the back of a Rav 4 at a light with his Corolla. He put it in the shop, got it out after about two weeks, then two days later, a giant 1986 Olds Nintey-Eight hit him in the very same spot he just had fixed!

yeah...first one I was barely moving bytime i touched his bumper, second time I was just starting to pull out to turn.

Now that stinks... getting the same area damaged twice ina row :/

what was the size of your saturn? when i first hopped into the accord i was overwhelmed by the size, and so it affected my control and visibility in the front and rear...were these high speed accidents or low speed accidents while trying to maneuver around?

[flamewalker]

Its like a pontiac sunfire (older model)... it was the 4 door sl2 (sedan). They were low speed maneuvering accidents. The first one my wheels actually locked up and I skidded and barely touched the guys bumper (but enough to dent my fender). I've gotten used to the blind spots and maneuvering the car. It wasn't really related to my inability to maneuver it, but rather lack of antilock brakes and lack of ability to see oncoming traffic well. At any rate, it was I who hit them both times unfortunately. I did $4000 of damage in the second accident to the lexus. Not cool... she has to get her whole door replaced :/

Oh well. live n learn.
