Who else got into an accident today :( :( :( :(

PART ONE
I'm a fucking idiot for waiting so long to get my snows on. Not that it would have mattered.

I fucking was driving SOOOOOOOO carefully this morning; slower and more careful than I have EVER driven in my life. I took my sweet fucking time getting to work this morning; 1.5 hours vs. normal 20 minutes.

I'm at the home fucking stretch, literally 30 seconds away from my office parking lot at 404 and Highway 7. As I'm travelling west on Hwy 7 right through the 404 overpass, there's a traffic light right there, where people exit off the 404 southbound.

It's green and we're all cruising at like 50 km/h. Then, as the stupid fucking lady in front of me is about to approch the intersection, the light turns amber and I'm expecting her to go through as it IS fucking ice and snow everywhere and she was literally 10-15 meters away from the light.

No. She slams the brakes and comes to a stop. I wasn't expecting this so like a second later after having my foot on the gas, I react.

But it was too late. I slid right into her ass with no place to turn. Car on my left and I was in the right lane with no room on the right.

I fucking blanked out and just braked and prayed I would stop, but I didn't stop early enough. I went right under her bumper (Nissan Pathfinder) and now am left with $5000 of damage. New hood, new right headlight, new bumber, and new fender.

Why didn't I take out the suspension and just ram the car into the side? Why didn't I leave more space between me and the other car (I was only about 10 meters away)? Why did I have to damage the other love of my life?!?!?!

Cale, I'm in an emotionally unstable state right now so PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE no quips about the Prelude It's a '97 so it's only worth about $7k and the damage is fucking $5k.

Lessons learned:
1) no matter how careful you think you are being you can never be careful enough
2) leave 10 fucking carlengths of space between you and the car ahead of you in the snow, whether you're wearing snows or not
3) PUT YOUR FUCKING SNOWS ON FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST FORECAST!!!!!!!

My beloved TAs, can you please make me feel better right now? I've never been so depressed, not even when I get into bitter fights with my family or fiancee. My poor car didn't even do anything wrong. It was all my fault

P.S. Swamper please don't ban me for the damage I did to the best car in the whole wide world.

PART TWO
So I get out and check out my disaster and I go, shaking my head and completely overcome with guilt (even though I strongly believed that lady shouldn't have stopped in that circumstance)...she didn't even look in her rear-view when I was honking like a crazy mofo for about 3 seconds, the time I had as I was quite a ways behind her--I'm sure it was 20 meters, not 10.

Anyway, I walk up and she didn't speak a word of English. Her Nissan had practically no damage to its bumper, just a few scratches and some red from my paint. So she just says it's all okay and notes my license plate and drives off.

I was so fucking depressed that I didn't even write down her license plate, or get any info. I just couldn't believe what I did to my beloved car.

Further proof of how stupid I am.

PART THREE
And I was in SUCH A FUCKING GOOD MOOD this morning. I had a super-important presentation I was supposed to give to a Regional Vice President (my boss's boss) and I was totally prepared and dressed to the nines, and just thankful for my blessings...

Sometimes, I'll randomly be really thankful for what I have in life. My family, my religion, my education, career, my CAR...and I'll just be cruising along at the speed limit, thinking I'm such a good, law-abiding citizen. I know it's gay but that was exactly the moment I was in when the accident occurred.

What a fucking joke!

I don't know how I kept my composure but the presentation went really well, to the point that the RVP congratulated me and said with my permission he'd like to share my presentation with the other VPs in the GTA. That was nice, but I'm still so fucking depressed about my car

I'M SO PATHETIC!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY please put me out of my misery

Don't worry Fahad....you have two good adjusters that can help you out. I am sure you have stiffness in your neck, back and shoulders right now....and you are going to need someone to do the housekeeping and help get you dressed in the morning.....don't worry we can get that depression treated as well. If you need any advise just let me know.

first of all i hope u r ok. secondly buddy nothing in this world will make u feel betta cept for some banging tunes so look on the tota and u will see some sweet ass wicked sets from MIKE Marcel and few others and if u want more then u know where to find me

as for the car well its a materialistic thing ... if car is worth 7K and damage is 5K then look at the bright side ... new set of wheels for u brotha.

joke for you :

if 2 newfies get divorced, can they still be cousins ?

Damn dude. I'm just glad you're all right! I wrecked my 2nd car in September in '04, so I know how you're feeling. Hang in there, man.

Thanks, buddy.

I really appreciate that. LOL at the stiffness!

Nah, I'm totally cool and so was the lady.

I guess my only fear is that she calls the police and gives my plate and says i was a hit-and-run or some shit like that.

btw am I allowed to be driving my car around with that much damage? Any laws against that? I was gonna drop it at my friend's shop on Monday morning.

And NO I'm not going through insurance

i am very sorry to hear that Fahad.

and I dont think I can really say or do something to make you feel better?

i know how it feels, buddy! but shit happens, do not blame yourself. And it's just a peace of metal. Money is just a paper. Thank God noone is injured!

It's all good! come to the Guv tomorrow! Marco V will make you feel better!
everything's gonna be alright!

to avoid the hassle of hit and run claim from that lady make sure u report this accident to the colision centre. when u r there the cop will inspect ur car and let u know if u can drive it or not and place stickers where the damage is. this way ur ass is covered

i can't wait till Marco V...but guys, please don't hate me if I'm not my cheerful self

I think it will take some drugs and *omg i can't believe I'm gonna say this* alcohol to make me feel better.

Fuck, no, I can't do that

I'm sure I will feel better with my abso-frickin-lutely beloved TOTAs surrounding me...GROUP HUG!!!!

Virgin drinks for you

Hey Chem, would insurance find out if I did that? I went to my buddy's after work today and he said that if I reported it, insurance would find out...but I don't want them to!!! It's already way too high and I can't have another at-fault accident

I know, I know...I shouldn't be driving

Material things can always be replaced (yes, even a '97 Prelude)... what's important is that you (and the lady who was in front of you) are ok.

unless u make a claim i dont think the insurance would have anything to do with this or if the lady wants to put in a claim. or if the lady goes to the collision centre then u will be getting a phone call from the cop and u will be required to go to the collison reporting place.

Some insurance companies have the self reporting collision reports automatically sent to them....if your company doesn't then they will only find out if the other party goes through insurance. Who is your insurance company?

Thanks, buddy

I love material possessions way too much, especially my cars (past one that I wrote off--i still miss it sometimes when I see someone driving it) and now it pains me to look at it.

I'm one of those fuck ups that actually believes the car is alive.

But I appreciate your comments about the lady and me being okay. It was so fucking gentle...WHY THE FUCK DID IT BEND METAL!?!?!?!?

^THIS is logical thinking, dude. Some party favors and your closest TOTA buds is just what you need. The night my last ex dumped me I was with a couple of my best FLTA gal friends and some stuff and all that, with some music and good smalltalk cheered me up right away.

I'm not sure if they get the police reports sent to them automatically....I don't think they do though.

Put in an injury claim....I do a lot of the injury claims for them...maybe I will be your adjuster

Thank you sweetie cakes

I know you probably don't wanna hear this right now but "a few scratches" on a bumper cost me a little more than a $1000 this past summer. Let's hope she doesn't make a claim against your insurance company.

I know how depressing stupid accidents like this can be. Try not to think about it though. There is no point in dwelling on something that you can't change. goodluck!

Yeah, I guess the costs can be pretty high for her, too. A paint job is at least $300 but there were no cracks in her bumper so I hope it won't be too expensive. She had like a metallic bumper which is why I don't think it was anything major. I didn't even focus on her damage too much; I was selfishly looking at my own

I know I shouldn't dwell on it but My car is a piece of my life!!!!!

FAHAD!!! OMG!!! Dude, I am just happy that nothing is wrong with you and you are healthy and well..

your baby can be replaced.. YOU CANNOT!!!
yes it sucks but it won't be the end of the world.. you can get her all fixed up in your fire engine red again and away you go!

Thank god you are ok... although just so that you know.. if you weren't.. I would have brought your ashes to Amsterdam/Ibiza to party with us all next summer...

I *heart* you! Glad you are safe
*hugs*

All I can say is I love Jenn. Baby you gonna be there tomorrow? You can lift my spirits all by your lonesome. I JUST *HEART* meeting you at parties...remember PR?!?!?!

P.S. LOL @ "my fire engine red" LOL!!!!! you made me smile big-time!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

A car is just a material possession, as long as nobody was injured. Thats whats important.

It could have been much worst, like your genitalia being crushed by the car wreckage & needing to wear a diaper cause you cant control when you poop.

Glad you hear you are OK!

Im sure there were DOZENS of accidents this morning, with people in much worst situations (like a car full of young childern).

one big TOTA hug for akhee fahad, check your voicemail
