Just got into an accident. Headon with a small pickup truck (seen on the other side of the street in this pic).

My car = scratched bumper, no dents. The truck = completely bashed in front end. I felt sorry for the guy, even though it was his fault. He was driving down a center turn lane to get to the next intersection.... traffic had stopped at a "keep clear" area for me to pull out and make a left turn into the center turn lane. He slammed on his brakes and skidded into me at about 25 mph.

Here's the kicker. I look at this picture and there's a goddam Fire Dept truck stopped RIGHT THERE! and they didn't even get out of the fucking truck to see if everyone was ok. I wish I had a truck number.

CY, have the car looked at, bumpers are not springs, basically use once then they loose a lot of internal integrity -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 10:37
Best take it in and have it looked over...never know when you might have a little damage. - BAD Oct 21, 10:27

  - Jeez. What do you drive, a Hummer? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 10:20 4
    - A limo. -- nm - sheba Oct 21, 10:23 3
      - Yeah, that's what I thought. Sucks big time. Takes his livelihood off the road for a few days. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 10:25
      - Actually, I was in my Lincoln towncar, but still, no match for an economy pickup truck. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 21, 10:24 1

- The fire truck looks like a battalion chief's almost a muni version of a limo, they only move for dignitaries and other photo op situations -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 10:40
