Ah, stuff happens. I drove for over 10 years before I hit anything and I hoped to have a cool story like "I flipped it racing a Vette". Alas, I dragged the side of my car across a column doing 3mph. Sorry man, they'll get her fixed up!

Well, I was racing this 'Vette, and...
Nah, was on a three lane road, in the left hand lane, and the car ahead of the car ahead of me stopped on the side of the road. So I stopped and was trying to turn into the middle lane to go around, thought I saw a gap, unfortunately there was another car currently occupying said gap... Clipped his rear left corner, tore my bumper off |

...still, could've been worse. Could have had had the middle-lane car plough straight into your side instead of just clipping. |

I backed my ambulance into a barrier a couple of weeks ago-on my fourth day in the job!

Good news, people of the Interweb!
Yesterday I picked up my Scooby-Doo from the repairers, looking better than new! We're back on the road together! |

Good news! You know I did the same thing earlier this year trying to avoid a stalled car on the interstate. Car in front of me pulled out at the same time, hesistated, and I opened the side of a Ford Crown Vic like a can opener. Luckily I was in my F-150 which sustained a 6" scratch on the bumper... buffed right out. No ticket as the cop said I was avoiding an accident and the guy I hit made a false insurance claim so no change to my policy!
