    Wreck!

    I am in Odessa at the Permian Basin Oil Show..........

    Following some buddies so they could show me the "best" place to park.....

    A Mercury Grand Marquis cut in front of me and parted us.........

    We were going about 35 - 45 and the glare from his rear glass was blinding........

    As we came up to a light, about 6 cars in front of me locked up his brakes..........

    So then the chain started..............

    Everyone missed each other till it got to me..........

    I smashed the front of my Magnum.........right into the arse of the Mercury.

    The guy driving the Merc is fine, I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room.........

    X-rays show I'm in one piece........dislocated shoulder and blunt trauma to the upper chest, shoulder and clavical.

    I'm in a sling and back to work by 1300............

    Car is stuck in Odessa...........trying to get USAA to ship car to Houston.

    I'll be devistated for a few more days.............

    BTW, airbags never deployed...........this is strange considering a smashed the WHOLE front end, took out the radiator, condensor, hood, 1 head light, and 1 fender.

    Just got a call.........insurance is MAKING ME fix it in Midland.

    DAMN!

    That is NOT GOOD!

    I am glad your injuries were things that heal!

    I would be PISSED at the insurance agency... there should be no reason that the car needs to be fixed where it was broke...

    usaa will try to get it fixed there. they did the same with my truck when it was stolen and then wrecked in south texas by the people of wetnes.

    ended up in a scrap yard awaiting a repair estimate that got all jacked up. tried to settle with me for 1300 bucks when there was over 18,000 in damage.

    lawyers wheer called ect and after 6 months the ins company, usaa, agreed to get it back to houston for a estimate to be done.

    once it got here, the estimate was done and it was totaled out over night after the motor blew as the adjuster climbed under neath the truck covering him with things he didnt want on him.

    dont give in, it has to get back to houston some way.

    My dad wrecked my mag with similar damage, though he was better off himself. The airbags never deployed. You should do what I did. Now is the perfect time for a 300c conversion.

    They cannot MAKE you get it fixed in Midland. They also do not have to transport your car to Houston for you. You will have to transport it to Houston if that's where you want it fixed, but they cannot mandate where repairs are done.

    Airbags only go off when they need to. It doesn't sound like they needed to. Doesn't sound like you sustained "serious" injury, which is what airbags prevent.

    If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

    I love the look of your car. Did you have to repaint the whole car?

    P.S. Sorry for the hijack.
