I was just heading to school today for a review session on my financial accounting exam.
And WOW this *$(*#(*$ just crashed into me cause he lost control.
Estimated $6-7k in damages, but his insurance company is paying for it.
Including the towing bill below.....
LOOK AT THAT RIDICULOUS AMOUNT.
He literally spent 10 minutes aligning my car into towing position and he charged $150. What bullshit.
Lucky i dont have to pay for that.
I was in the carpool lane, the very left lane on the highway.
What does it tell u guys when he crashed into me from the invisible lane to my left?
He admitted it was his fault....
STILL, im so pissed about missing my review session. If i fail my exam, hes liable for it .
I got a CAMRY LE for my loaner car, i'll have some good time cruising on it for a month

Oh man, sorry to hear about your baby. Glad you are ok. It could be worst. Make the most out of that camry and beat the hell out of it on the highway. At least while its cold / winter, your car won't get a lot of salt while its being fixed.

Consider yourself very lucky to walk this kind of damage. Glad to see you OK. That much impact on the side, hopefully the side airbag inflated... well did it?
