    Wrecked my Charger today

    Yup, that's right, after 13 years of driving I finally had an accident that I'm at fault for. I was on my way home from my parents house about 2:45pm today, I see 2 kids messing with a weed whacker and a lawn mower on the tree lawn close to the street (2 lane btw). So while watching to make sure they don't pop onto the street I look back to see a stopped Toyota Corolla waiting to turn left. Jump on the brakes and hit her. I got slow enough to prevent my airbags from deploying and didn't even crinkle the hood, so it doesn't even look too terrible. I did blow the power steering pump though, she's bleeding. Both side marker lights popped out of the fascia too but not broke.









    The lady in the receiving car was visibly shaken up, sent her to the hospital in an ambulance just to be safe. Got a ticket and towed the car off.

    We'll see Monday what the outcome is. Anyone got a Challenger hood readily available??

    you should plead with the judge and let him know you """"were very concerned with the safety and actions of children playing with a dangerous yard care tools next to the roadway which is what inevitably diverted your attention away from the poor lady and vehicle in front of you""""

    and that:

    you """ feel that since nobody was seriously injured, that the insurance companies should be left to deal with this infracture to property since no deliberate form of action leading to harm was intended towards the lady but rather a complelling issue of child safety. To be fined for any given incident is to insinuate that there was foul intention and a complete disreguard for the law. Which is not the case here. I am an adverse victim of circumstance in which case another person was involved, who undoubtedly was truely the unfortunate one. There was no deliberate motive to cause harm to (insert lady's name here) prior to the accident, therefore I ask that the courts leiniency in this matter in and ask be found not guilty"""

    bulletproof if executed correctly ^_^


    ***edit***
    i shock myself sometimes, mamma said i should be a lawyer or a doctor ROTFLMAO

    just glad nobody was seriously hurt.. poor car... toyota paint on a charger BLAGH you need to fix that ASAP

    Aw, man!
    First day we've seen the sun here, and that's how you celebrate?!
    Well, as has been said...glad to hear you are OK and the damage is minimal. Not much you can do about the ticket. Just man-up and move on.

    What came loose in the LH headlamp?
    Let me know if you need help with anything on the car. We have to get you back in shape before July 17th!

    It's at a friends shop, which is also a preferred shop with the insurance. I'll find out mon. what the deal is. The thing that came loose is the trim ring around the reflector. Thanks!
