"I got in a terrible accident..."

[AudiOn19s]

That's how my morning started. I'm at work with coffee in hand ready to start my day when at 7:28 am I get the following text.

 

"I've been in a horrible accident. Not my fault. Car is fucked"

 

Call Yasmin to make sure she's ok, remembering in the back of my mind that she told me she was taking the Mercedes to work today. So I ask...you are in the E55 right??? No, it was nice I took the turbo. :-(

 

So she was going down 161 when someone decided to change lanes and didn't see her, caught her in the passenger door and then really hit square on the rear wheel / suspension breaking the toe link and control arm on contact.

So. Not so bad right? ...cept between the impact and the broken suspension the Car spun out of control and under a semi doing some pretty serious damage.

Good news is the airbags and safety equipment did their job. Bad news is the car is pretty bad. I know it's just metal but I'm pretty attached to my cars. Def a bummer. She's even more pissed than I am about the car...she loves this thing.

 

Is what it is I guess :-(

SHe ok for the most part? Person who hit her stop and is insured?

[KillJoy]

Take it to 3C. It will be Totaled, and you can buy a new one.

Her being ok was first priority. She's a little sore in the lower back but she was squatting 185 and deadlifting 155 the night before. So tough to say gym vs accident. We will monitor and go seek attention if necessary.

 

At fault party was insured. Car is at Achbach in good hands.

Glad she is okay and Dan will make sure if it can be repaired it is done correct

Andy, I'm so sorry to read this news. I'm glad Yasmin is ok.

[Mojoe]

Glad she's ok, Andy. I was in the traffic from the accident. Changed routes before getting the the scene. Last year my wife was in an early morning accent. That call was miserable. Again, just glad the wife is ok.

[Patterson]

Glad Yasmin is okay. Cars are replaceable.

[2 Sweet]

Ouch sorry to hear man. But I'm glad to hear she walked away without harm

[ForeverMaker]

whhhaat wow sorry this happened.

[Forrest Gump 9]

Sorry to hear Andy. Glad the wife is ok. It sucks to see a Porsche in such state.

[Not Brian]

I just hung out with Yasmin on Saturday with a group of people (she's a friend of a friend of a friend). Crazy. Glad she is alright.

[Dr. Pomade]

Glad to hear she is okay. That sucks about the car. So sorry to hear this.

Ha! You were at Gabe's? I bitched out on the bonfire and was wrenching on bikes instead.

[AudiOn19s]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

[Das Borgen]

glad to hear Yasmin is OK!

 

at the end of the day, it's just a car gone, not a life

[Not Brian]

Ha! You were at Gabe's? I bitched out on the bonfire and was wrenching on bikes instead.

 

Yeah. I didn't even know she was your Yasmin until today when Gabe told me "Andy's wife..." and I put 2 and 2 together.

[RC K9]

Glad she is ok, man. Having been through two of those situations myself, ibunderstand the frustration about the car, but in the end, she is ok and as Patterson said, cars are replaceable.

[Mensan]

What could have been awful, is just disappointing. Glad she was OK.

[Grudes]

Glad shes ok. Sounds like she got pretty lucky. To bad the car is trashed

[caseyctsv]

Man that sucks - I am glad she is OK though.

[Aaron]

I echo the sentiments above.

[jeffro]

When the carelessness of another wrecks your day. Sad to hear. Glad all parties are okay though.

[Draco-REX]

Glad to hear she's ok. Hopefully the insurance companies make everything right.

[BBQdDude]

Glad she is ok as that is what counts.

 

Man, sorry about the car.
