Well, what a fun thursday afternoon... Was on the way back from showing my wife how to get to her doctors when I totalled the Camaro. Was coming down a hill and traffic came to a screaching hault (since oregonians don't know how to drive) slammed on my breaks and was plowed into by the lady who was yakin' on her cell phone. The front end of the car doesn't look like anything happend even though I did hit the lady in front of me, still haven't looked under the hood. The rear looks like it is 3" lower to the ground and the tail pipes are draggin like a low rider. Both doors don't line up and the rear hatch looks like it is sprung/not sitting right. I will have to take pictures during the day and get them posted. At least the wife and her tummy are ok. I have a nice case of whip lash. Can't beleive this happend after all the snow, except it did happen during typical Oregon rainny weather. Twisted Evil

Wow, that's really crappy dude. I'm just glad to hear all of you are OK, except the usual short-term mental and physical shake-up. You got all the necessary insurance info I hope? You should be completely fine, fault-wise.

Just trying to see the cup as half-full at the moment.

Take care bro, and let us know how it goes.

I think it should be a law that you cannot drive with a cell phone to your ear. In some states and countries it is. I don't know about there, but here in Idaho, if the person that causes the accident was on the phone, they will be at fault and charged with inatentive driving. Take care! I hope your wife is still feeling ok.

That sucks man, glad your all ok though. Hopefully you don't get jerked around by the insurance company.

Thanks guys... We did get all the insurance info and stuff. Beaverton police did a good job making sure we got all the info exchanged (had a form that had everything we needed to give each other on it and we all got copies) at least they are finally doing something right Laughing

Made a second trip to the docotors and we both missed work today but at least it is just sore muscles. I will keep everyone posted
