Got in an Accident!!

Well i got into an accident driving down from school in gainesville to Miami. I was in boca raton and they have major construction there and the traffic was pretty bad but going slow. So the pickup in front of me braked hard then i braked, but the lady behind me rear ended me and i ended up hitting the pickup. FYI, I am fine just a sore neck. I will post pics tomorrow where there is sunlight.

Glad you're ok - I'm sure she's fixable. If not, new car time! At least it wasn't your fault!

I feel for you. While at work today one of my coworkers decided to take my front bumper with him when he drove away for lunch. To make it worse now he's asking me to not go through my insurance agent.

A year ago, was in an accident and had a sore/stiff neck. The doctor prescribed massages 3 times a week, then later twice a week. What a treat. I wound up with 4 months of massages.

Yeah! It was really rough..

Hope you're okay bro'!! (I'll just go ahead and keep my women driver comment to myself for the time being....)

Anyhow, keep that neck loose...ie heating pad and massages. Don't let 'er tighten up and you'll be okay. I think with regards to fault....it's got to be that ladies. She started it. Yeah....you were probably following too close thus hitting the driver in front of you, but she's ultimately at fault, so I think you'll be cool.

Damage.......details?!

the back has no significant damage but it made the bumper go down thus making it not a straight alignment. I was quoted over 3 grand in body work. I will possibly be needing new headlights because it is very loose and the bolts to hold them has broke.
it'll be fixed soon, but the important thing is I am fine and just shaken up. Thanks for all the love from u guys.

3 G's for THAT?! I guess you mentioned your alignment was out, but still.....that's painful. Any engine damage?! Hard to tell from pics.

as far as i know, i dont know abt engine damage because at the scene of the accident the hood popped up. so the guys closed it but it doesnt go all the way down and it doesnt lock. It had to be tied down so when I went to get an estimate they didnt want to open it up because then it would not close so in case if i drive the hood pops off.

Sounds like 3 G's for body damage alone then 'ey?! Hmmmmm.....at least you car is still drivable. That's got to be somewhat comforting, so you may not have too much internal damage done. As long as your headlights work and your doors close you should be alright.

Yup looks like 3 G's. Same thing happened to my friend in his Black CL-S. Got sandwhiched. Your is alot less damage but same basic parts needed. Looks like you'll need a new hood and bumper. Headlights look iffy from the pictures. Let us know.

Damn if you have to replace the headlights, charge them labor for clearing them out!! Those were a bitch back then when you were asking me for advice. If you get a new set I'll buy the old ones off of you for some cash. Glad to see you're okay too.
