accident

car accidents suck. i rear-ended a cadillac on the 73 after the person slowed down really quickly and i didn't slow down fast enough. the chp guy said it was my fault and he said, "you should have stopped." i felt like whacking him because it's not like i didn't try to stop. the other chp guy was really nice.

my poor car must be looked at by the adjuster. it was leaking fluids and the airbags deployed so that destroyed my windshield. all i can think about is how much my insurance is going to go up. i'm very much bummed about the whole thing.

my rental car is a camry and i'm wondering if it's normal that the brakes are soooooo soft. it's like my foot is almost to the floor before it begins to slow down. kinda makes me freaked that i wouldn't be able to stop quickly.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad you're ok, though.

Also, Ojay needs to know about your blog so he can post his novel-length comments about you here :)

its okay! I've been into 5 accidents...two of them which the cars were totaled, one of them in a 10 car chain wreck on the 405 the day after christmas one year. And I only had the car for only 8 months. Now doesn't that suck?? Feel better now?

At least you're okay!

dude, you know joey's history. he was in 3 accidents within a course of a year! he totalled his corolla when he rearended the flat bed, he got hit on the side when his car was 5 days old and he got rearended the day after we returned from hawaii. i think with all that he pays $140 a month. don't know how much more that is to you.

my camry's brakes are the same way.

No, none of them were my fault. My first car accident...I was on my way to church, and i got hit cuz this idiot didn't stop at a stop sign. I was literally like 50 yards from the church parking lot.
