Poor tsx

So today I was pulling out of the carwash (delta sonic). I was in the far right lane, next thing my eyes blurred or the glare blinded me, next thing I see is a silver Oldsmobile dead in front.

I slammed on the brakes. The car failed to stop; I slammed into her car, and then veered off on to the curb in front of blockbusters. I managed to miss the light pole and jump over a parking curb. Finally stopped and land in the end of a parking spot.

My Passenger airbag deployed and the fumes made my car smell. The front end of my car is totaled from only body damage I hope. The airbag or something hit me hard I couldn't stand up for awhile.

Driver’s lights
Drivers seat belt
Passenger airbag deployed
Front underbody
Front two fog lights
Bumper frame
Left and right side skirts
Hood trim and grill destroyed
Bumper cracked and stripped

So pretty much I was at fault, darn should have not washed my car brakes probably weren’t dry so that didn’t help.

I have some neck aches and backaches but I should be fine. I filed the insurance report and going check the car tomorrow and Friday.
Talk about painful to see it and be in a car. I never had this feeling , I could have avoided the car by veering into the other lanes but I didn’t even have time to react.

Pretty much i blurred then ah shit BRAKE BAM
STEERED RIGHT BAM into a parking curb.

So you can imagine whipsplash hurting, how about hitting a car ? and hitting a parking curb.























Poor tsx first the ronjon rims now the front end what next?

Bummer... But it looks like it's very fixable. Don't know about your ego but shit happens to all of us some time or the other. Just get your baby fixed and keep her out of harms way.

Yea i know its buffalo I rather keep the salt off the car, and when I come home during summer I give the car a great wax.

Delta sonic i'm not sure if those brushes hurt its the microfiber noodles.

It one of those automated carwashes. It cleans everything... I never had any brake failures though.
