Pictures of the Accident
Filed Under (Freakin Idiot!, The Fam) by Amy on 08-23-2008
Rob put up pictures from the accident on his blog. My car doesn’t look too bad in the pictures; it’s hard to see that the damage goes clear back to both front doors on the vehicle. He didn’t post any pictures of the back - but it’s not in too bad of shape back there considering that was the initial impact. Since it’s a newer car (2007), it would have taken around $25K worth of damage to declare it totalled. I’m not sure how much it will cost to replace just about every part on the entire front end, some parts on the back, and fixing the engine damage, but apparently it’s less than $25K.
The car that hit me was a 1995 Maxima. I’m not sure what value it holds, but I think there’s a good chance that car might be totalled from the looks of it.
I’m extremely sore today. It’s hard to move my neck from side to side and there’s just general achiness throughout my neck, shoulders, and upper back area. :-( I hope I’m not too uncomfortable for the car ride down to Virginia Beach. I’ll be stocked with my medicine and ice packs, that’s for sure!
Amy…if it’s muscle aches/stiffness, a therapeutic massage may help, but be careful. I ended up in therapy for close to 18 months after my accident years back…check in with your own family doctor ASAP
Oh shit, Amy! :-( I was so worried about you yesterday! I tried to call you, but I think the number in my cell phone is old - maybe your old work number or something. You had an angel on your shoulder for sure! Try to relax on your vacation! xoxoxo
Damn!! I’m so glad that you’re okay and things weren’t any worse. That stinks about your car though. It amazes me how much damage there needs to be to be a total loss.
I’m glad you will be okay though, that’s the most important thing!
