drumbtzz Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 as a few of you may have noticed i havent been punishing the threads lately with my annoying bold font because i totaled my truck monday 2 weeks ago, (sept 28). some lady took a blind left in front of me and i t-boned her car (it was either a newer ford explorer or expedition, i never found out for sure which one). the front left of my car hit her passenger side directly into her front wheel, where most of the damage is on my vehicle. dare i say it, women drivers......sigh...so i spent about 3 hours in the er that morning strapped to the most uncomfortable plastic board they loaded me into the ambulance on instead of bein at work...all x-rays and the cat scan came back clear, however i am in physical therapy 3 times a week because i messed my shoulder up real bad (yea wear your seatbelts kids). if no improvement in my shoulder (to be exact the rotator cuff) ill probably have to get surgery, so lets keep our fingers crossed..on the up side though i got a new car (to me) its a 2006 vw gti...complete with lots of airbags so fyi....if anyone is out on their bike and a gti passes them and flips them the finger....its because of jealously....needless to say because of my shoulder and other pain i suspended my bike insurance today till further notice....

drumbtzz Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Don't bash the S-10 just because he wasn't wearing his seatbeltwell as a side note how i messed up my shoulder is probably cause i panicked...she started turning into my path about 75 feet from the impact and i stiff-armed the steering wheel to brace myself...i wouldnt have hit my head on the steering wheel if the air-bags had gone off like they were supposed to tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 sue gm since the airbag didn't deploy. or did you just drive around with the airbag light on...or burnt out?these are the kinds of things where people get huge settlements.
