gise1 gave me a great idea for a new thread. Granted, some of us may not enjoy talking about smashing up our Intrepids, but I thought just for s&g it'd be interesting to see what people post.
Accident #1
June 15, 2000
Just moved to Sun Prairie, WI from Plymouth to start school on June 25. I was down on Main Street coming back from the bank when I pulled up behind a full-size Chevy pickup (was a company truck for some local seed CO-OP).
The intersection was had traffic lights and the north/south was green (I was heading west). The bad part about this intersection is that the it's a truck route. So this semi is turning in front of this chevy pickup and the driver of the chevy decides to give the semi some clearance. Well the old guy didn't look behind him before he backed up, and next thing I know there's I see my hood wrinkle up and hear some other sh*t break.
Conclusion: He got a ticket for unsafe backing. Almost $2500 in damage to my Intrepid (fascia, hood, headlights, 1 fender, + paint).
Accident #2
January 2001
As I was going to school at 7am I came out to my car to find the front passenger corner smashed in. Someone had hit me head-on in the parking lot overnight. No note, nothing. Just a drive off. I was pissed. Cops came, accident reports, etc. Nice part was that there was white paint on my blue car..hmmmm....2 weeks later this skanky chick comes to visit one of her druggy friends in my building. Her car is white...a closer look reveals the corner of her bumper has a gash in it, that was painted over white again by hand (horrible job).
Conclusion: turned her ass over to the cops, got a car alarm, and now I sleep better
