Was on my way to to work, Pulled off of the interstate ramp, and pulled up to the stop light, about 2 seconds later im slammed forward as a white Nissan slams into the back of my car

Pics explain the damage, but they dont explain my frustration or the other person's stupidity.....


Luckily the guy had insurance, so to screw him, im taking it to my roomate's wor k (Kelly Chev.) and getting an estimate done, and while im at it, going to look into finally getting it painted Pearl Black

That sucks for both of you!! I consider myself a good driver. I've only been in two accidents and neither were my fault. I've avoided more than I care to count. As long as I've been driving, I don't think I've ever been more paranoid of others than I am these days. People either don't think at all or just think about themselves. At least both of you are still here to talk about it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Jquintel, but there's a chance they'll total you're car. Book value ain't much on a 13 yr old car. We barely squeaked by with my sons '95 Nissan. The damage was similar to yours just on the front instead of the rear, and it missed being totalled by less than 200.00. I hope it doesn't happen to you, and I hope the insurance company takes care of you fairly and quickly. You may need to call and pester them on a regular basis to make the latter come true
