recently got into an unfortunate accident..
i drove through a ... "divider" in the middle of the night. Luckily i was almost home. In here, they use it to separate the bus lane with the regular lane. Those dividers are not even in use anymore. i was actually very sleepy since it was a long a$$ drive..

just thought i'd share a few MAP (morning-after pics) ...

The hardest part to swallow is you have nobody else to blame but yourself. I just hate when I have nobody else to blame on . I hope you are alright at least.

Look at the bright side, now you can cruise around in that fly moped!

Sorry about the damage. I would be on a bridge somewhere contemplating

yea i'm okay, thanks guys. luckily it was only a divider, not a tree or some sort hehe..
the insurance company actually covered most of the major damages like front left shock absorber, bumper and the car alarm ...and that's only after some serious negotiation.

the other parts like the lip and wheels, i already got them repaired but the worst thing is they're not perfect anymore..
