Sometimes there's nothing you can do
Today the sun was not shining on me or my beloved Tungstang as I was involved in a multicar accident. There was three of us in a line at a stoplight (me in the middle) when a fourth car hit the car behind me at full speed. She didn't even brake. I don't know her circumstances but she was the most injured and got the first ambulance ride. I got the second. My injuries are limited to scrapes and deep bruises but they were precautious because my neck and back hurt like hell. The most destressing part for me besides the bodily injuries everyone sustained is the paramedic said my car was buckeled and most likely totaled. I've had her ten months and I I've put in so much work into her only to see it taken away in flash. Alot of things will play out with insurance over the next week and then I'll know for sure if it's totaled. If it is, I dont have the energy to go through the modding process again. My car was basically a GT clone so I'll try to get a GT. If I can't I wont get a Mustang at all.
Anyway, I'm just ranting, the accident was just 5 hours ago and I'm overflowing with emotions and I needed to vent.
Dammit I just had mycolor installed Monday!!
This sucks!

RE: Sometimes there's nothing you can do
I hate to hear that man sometimes I think to myself is it really worth it putting your money into a car cause you never get it back outta of it especially if you get into a wreck my friend had a old chevelle that he didn't have antique insurance on because he just finished it and he knew he couldn't drive it much through the winter, but after winter was over he was going to get full coverage.............after putting $13,000 in it he got in a wreck and lost all that money the Insurance said it was only worth $425.00 dollars

RE: Sometimes there's nothing you can do
Wow, that's too bad!
Be thankful you weren't seriously injured though.
You can always replace a car, but body parts are a lot more difficult to replace.
My advice to you is to keep mum to the insurance company about your mods because those *** are always looking for a way to weasel out of paying.
Get a body shop of YOUR choosing to inspect the car and decide what needs to be done.
IMHO the best thing you can do is get the car totaled because after a serious accident like that, chances are good it will never be the same.
If you got a good deal on the car you should get most of your money back and your insurance company will go after the other person's insurance company to collect your deductable.
Seeing as you were standing still, it's pretty much a given you will win this one.
Above all DO NOT SIGN ANY PAPERS!!!!!
The other insurance companie(s) are going to send you stuff asking for description of the accident scene etc.
DO NOT ANSWER THEM DIRECTLY!
Instead, let them know that you are forwarding the papers to YOUR insurance company for review.
Best of luck to you!
