My turn today!

NormE91 · 08-07-2014, 05:48 PM

So I had noticed a lot of accidents on here lately, well today was mine!

I was stopped in traffic on the interstate. I looked in my rear view and saw this girl driving towards me and not stopping... Boom! Texting maybe? I don't know for sure. Rear bumper took a pretty good hit and my tailgate barely got kissed, looks like just a paint mark on it.

Troopers were called but hadn't shown up after about 40 minutes; they knew there were no injuries. I called them back and they said just to exchange info, so that's what we did.

Stop posting accidents

Massachusetts go figure

It sucks but that's what insurance is for. At least I'll finally get that god awful dealer sticker taken off lol! It's on there really well and have been meaning to take it off forever but was afraid to screw it up.

Any bumper upgrades available for the e91? It looks like m tech only has it with pdc. Funny, I always laugh when other guys see they're accidents as an opportunity to upgrade... and here I am pondering the same thing!

Dealer stickers are usually just vinyl. Little bit of Zippo lighter fluid, it'll come of, just use a nylon scraper of some sort. Paint will be fine. Shame to wait for an accident to fix that...

Lol I know I shouldn't have waited, just always forget about it. It's one of those multi-piece ones too so it's more of a pain. It'll be gone now!

Hope no one else take another turn at this... Not like others had a choice tho.. Lol.

Hope all goes well with the upgrade man.

Damn, that sucks. Too many careless drivers out there. Good thing I was lucky but I almost had to make one of these threads a few weeks ago. I was getting ready to make a left turn and this old lady next to me was on a turn left only lane and suddenly went straight when I was about to turn. I had my gopro recording at the time too.
