How to remove a Cobalt from the road (56k... LOL)

Seeing as how accidents seem to be the trend I figure I’ll post up mine from last Thursday, the 13th.

Basic, I was progressing through an intersection normally, heading north. Other car was heading west. THis happened around 6:45 PM so the sun was extremley low in the sky. The other car ran the red light for them and I ended up making contact with his rear quarter panel, driver side.

Other driver got 2 tickets: running the red and no inspection :lolham: I received no ticket.

And now on to the carnage:

I came out of this with a partial fracture of a bone in my right foot. I have to wear an aircast on my right ankle for about a month… that’s it. And yes, the car has been officially totalled by the insurance company.

car is pwned but good to hear you made it out ok. How fast were you going?

yea, when the front bumper bolts on one frame rail line up with the rocker panel, that shits totaled. lol

what kind of car was the other guy driving ? (please please please say pt cruiser)

at least you are ok. Myself and a buddy almost got killed sat night DT. Dude blew through a red light doing at least 70 a second after we went through the intersection.

I was doing maybe 35 through the intersection. Other car was doing at least 40. And sorry, it was not a PT Cruised. The accident statement form from the APD stated and early 00’s chevy although what I saw of it looked like a Corsica :gotme:

All I know is I spun the other car around 180 degrees :smiley:

well, the car crumpled up well, cabin is completely intact it looks like…

planning on getting another one or onto something else?

shitty. Glad you’re okay though.

Did you get your makeup all over the airbag by any chance?

gotta love it how when you finally get a newer car something has to happen… :tup: to you being ok!

on to something better…glad you are ok Andy :slight_smile:

Clipped a car going 35 and you’ve got your foot in a cast? Yikes. Should have been driving a VW. :gay:

Surprising that you got hurt. You pretty well simulated the IIHS’s 40mph frontal offset, in which the Cobalt got 5 stars.

You should say you bought the car based on their rating, and sue the IIHS for pain and suffering. :tup:

:uhh:

Glad you’re relatively OK.

:word: The hand of God pushed the other car through the intersection because you should be driving something cooler. :tup:

Good thing you’re ok. Too many accidents happening lately.

More betterness at least. Shitty though.

No worries there. Got to play plenty of the COD4 beta over the weeked. And I’ll be playing plenty of Halo 3 when it launches. I had actually scheduled vacation for that week at least a month before the release date was announced :wink:

As for bigger and better, I’m gonna wait until I get back from vacation before making any decisions. Plenty of time to think about it :smiley:

glad you’re alright man
