Car accident because "she had too much on her mind"

[Riffster]

ok so... last Wednesday I pick my car up from the garage after having the timing belt and catalytic converter fixed $1100... On the way home I'm stopped at a traffic light preparing to take a right when...WHAM!!!! I'm rear-ended, I drove a Rav 4 with less then 90,000 miles, not bad for a 2000. so aside from cosmetic damge and the fact my door was 2 inches higher then the rest. apparently she got far enough under me to bend the frame...
she told the cop and me that she had alot on her mind... yup and the brake wasn't one of them.
Time for a new car and car payments i suppose

yeah bad review, but i'm not buying an 09, it'll be an 07 like the one Jen has and she loves that car, it's not all wheel, just 4 wheel when you need it

we'll see though

I didn't know men owned Rav Fours.

Glade to hear you are ok. The one thing that really sucks is you just got your car fixed and the its taken away and now you have to get another car and fix the stuff that isnt right on that one. Me and my wife justwent through the same thing.

hey...I loved that car

the thing about the repairs are I was asked for the receipts, i guess they figure any recent repairs in to the value

[Marvelmania]

Sorry to hear about that. Glad you're ok. Buy a scooter and then buy some old toys

Glad to hear that no one was seriously injured. The vehicle is replaceable. Life is not. I hope the insurance company reimburses you for the recent repairs as well. Good luck!
