I'm having the best week ever.....

[marleymon]

it's been a really great week...thanks to a guy, too old to be driving (one eye totally fogged- cataracts?).


now my neck is trashed and I have a softball on my melon. The driver was ticketed but there's no fault in michigan.

Dude that's poop....im workin on this guys altima that got smashed from a truck in michigan. He lives here in ohio, but since the accident was in michigan and the truck kept going...he couldnt do anything about the damage. Michigan laws suck....Hope you feel better and hope your bimmer recovers as well.

Dude that really stinks.

What the hell kind of a law is that,it's not his fault? I mean look at where he hit you for christ sakes, i mean how the hell could he not see you. Michigan has somedumb laws cause i'd be so rip **** if that was my baby.

[SlickmisterN]

It looks more like he pulled out right in front of you and caught you with his nose while making a left into traffic? And I could easily see how the old man missed the pavement colored bmw on a cloudy day, especially with cataracts. Damn those dark grey cars! LOL just kidding.

It hurts to look at it. Hope your injuries are temporary.

Do you get any money for your pain?


Note to self, dont goto michigan

well, I didn't have full coverage on this one. So as far as I know, the max I can get from their insurance is $500 mini tort. I'm not sure if I can go after the owner for the rest.

He was driving a newer ford ranger pick-up. He's an old timer. The first thing I noticed was his left eye. His wife was very apologetic. She seemed way more 'together' and should have been doing the driving.

I'm not sure how he missed the wheel or the door jam- lucky I guess. Things may be bent like the TRod and arm, hopefully once I get her back together she'll align.

I'll need a corner assembly, headlight surround....hood is rolled under...door...glass is ok since it was up.....fender....not sure what else- it get's dark quick here now. My e21 buddies are going to take care of me with free parts for shipping.

Ouch sorry to hear and see that. Yea the no fault crap sucks, Florida has the same thing and it also is over run by old old people....We have people here that cant even pay for groceries because they cant see the screen, they cant hardly move, they shake too much the list goes on.....

Good luck with fixing the car and take it easy on yourself get a fast recovery!

hope you recover fully.

got a friend who rolled his S/C'd 99 M3, his back is still giving him problems.

I've been lucky so far to walk from every one of my crackups with out problems. but luck can only carry so far.

well I'm feeling ok today neck wise. I sorta feel like I did every saturday morning when I was playing football back in HS 90-94. For those who play or played, you know what I mean. I remember giving and receiving about 6-7 car wrecks each game. The knee problems though, will last forever.

anyway- because I only had liability, I can only recoup $500. There is a bill bogged down in the legislature raising mini tort to a 1k max, but Insurance companies have big time pull.
