car goes crunch

Post by Ivanovich »

So somebody decided they would make a right turn into me from the middle lane of NW Expressway. My car is not so good and i had a concussion as well as a possible broken wrist. Thankfully his insurance will be paying for it all, including my CAT scan.

So needless to say i doubt i will be coming out much this weekend.

so, red leader got shot down, and all luke got was a concussion. Sounds pretty feng shui to me.

I hope you're ok, and that you have a human brain and that it works. Enjoy lying in a tube while people throw garbage cans at it.

Again, the bright side is that his insurance will be paying for it all, not yours.

yes, his insurance will be paying for that. problem is now i have to deal with car shopping. One of the shadiest of activities known to man. I have to brave the dealerships and go one on one with the car salesman. Whose goal is to screw me out of money so that they can make more.

For refrence, mine is a Cooper S, manual transmission, with the Cold Weather and Convenience packages, it ran about... $25.8k I think?

That said, the basic Coopers with no packages start at more like $19k. The Cooper S starts at, I think, $21K.
