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: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-PassengerSidesmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-PassengerSidesmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-FrontPassengersmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-FrontPassengersmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-Frontsmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-Frontsmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-FrontDriversmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-FrontDriversmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-DriverSidesmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-DriverSidesmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-Insidesmall.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-Insidesmall.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-UnderHood.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/Itagaki/Cobalt%20Accident-20070913/Cobalt-UnderHood.jpg) 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. ---

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 😃 ---

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. [http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=226](http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=226) 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. [quote=“StairSRT4,post:9,topic:35557"”] on to something better… [/quote] :word: The hand of God pushed the other car through the intersection because you should be driving something cooler. :tup: ---

[quote=“87FOXGT,post:13,topic:35557"”] Damn andy, glad youre ok and didnt break any gaming fingers :ohnoes: 😃 [/quote] 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 😉 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 😃 ---
