Agreed with most on here....... how the **** do miss seeing a bright yellow car. i understand the blind spot and A-pillar theory (that's why they are called accidents and not purposes) but DAMN!!! Bright yellow?!?! He woulda had to really not been paying attention, doesn't know how to drive (no blind spot check), or just a really bad series of events. He wasnt intoxicated was he? What ever the case maybe, I'm glad ev1 is ok.

That's why I always do a quick glance to make sure that there isn't someone there.

my beef is that this guy obviously didnt take that second glance... i was the only car on a 4 lane road, if he didnt see me he needs glasses or he was texting/playing with the radio.

The up side is I did go from this:

So I guess its not all that bad. But if you have any pain from the accident you might wanna get checked. I felt completely fine until I started taking pics and doubled over in the middle of the road unable to painlessly move

sorry to hear that man, luckily we were not hurt badly. a week later though my back has stiffened up to the point where i can work, work out, or run without some severe pain.

i think it was about even, the altima looks worse cause of the missing bumper but doesnt have suspension damage or anything. my cars front end is FUCCCKED. LOL

to be honest im probably gonna get some pos car so i dont have a car payment. that car was almost paid off, had it since 05, and i refuse to get into another long term loan... this is what pisses me off the most about the whole damn thing.

If they total it though you'll get a check for the value of the car. Use that as a down payment on a new car and do a shorter loan if you have good credit, then pay it off early. It'll actually drop your payment lower than it was because you'll be financing less.
