Accident Mod AGIAN!!!! Oh Yeah!!!

It was wet, the person 2 cars ahead turned into a driveway abruptly with no signal, causing the guy in front of me to slam on his brakes...I did the same...Well my ABS did not kick in and I skidded right into his boat hitch which destroyed my bumper, grille, valence, bent a tow hook, crack the radiator, severed a p/s line, annihilated my tranny cooler, broke both headlights, and broke a blade off my fan....no telling what other damage occurred, its at the shop now, their giving state-farm an estimate tom. About a year ago a hit and run driver backed in to my ranger and just put big dent in the bumper, and I spent $850 piecing together a new SRS system. Last Night???? The bags didn't budge!!! I cracked the driver bag cover I hit it so hard.

Now for the Pictures!!!



:-(((



PS...Im Fine

ALMOST every time you rear-end someone else, you're at fault. Glad you're ok.

In some states, it's automatic fault unless it can be proven the front car did it on purpose.

How do you figure?
You were following too closely, no question about it. Nobody here uses turn signals, and they make last minute lane changes and stops everywhere, so I allow for extra stopping distance. Man up to it dude. It's not like someone brake checked you, you were just too close to see and avoid.

Glad everyone is okay anyway.
