So, I crashed my car

[Lily]

because I'm a pillock, and now I can't open the drivers side door.

Bad times.

Please share your tales of woe so I can console myself with not being the only bad driver out there

Im gunna have to get it fixed and sold, it's not just me, the car's cursed

I've been in too many crashes.

I wrecked my first car going to fast while it was raining fairly hard.
Slammed on my breaks and hydroplaned into a Escalade in front of me. Lucky it just bent my frame on his hitch, his car was untouched.

Second car I totaled was a Toyota Celica. Long story short, found my girl friend cheating. I drove off fairly fast and my cell phone slid off my lap. I bent down to grab it, looked up and hit a tree. Cops thought I was suicidal and they gave me a speeding ticket.

Bent my football coaches bender when leaving school one day. Had to mow his lawn all summer to pay it off or else he would have pressed charges.

Last accident I was in, I was leaving a parking lot on a one way street. Didn't bother to look to my right, ended up being a bus immediately to my right. Like as soon as the curb started the bus was there. Luckily I hit him only going like 3 MPH. Only broke my headlight and nothing happened to the bus.

SIDE NOTE: I also popped two tired at once, was talking to my buddy in the back seat and looked back for a short time. Ran over a really, really steep curb. Popped both tires, bent the frame of the rims. Both wheels and rims had to be replaced entirely.

There feel better

Road trip!!!

My car just has problems like the wiring needs to be replaces.

The only "accidents" I've been in were the ones involving my friends and it was more like..."oh shit dude you just backed up into my car going 5 mph."

My cars have only been hit.

My work truck was hit by a schoolbus once. Now that was funny, cause I tell people that I was hit by a bus and they're all like OMG. But I was in an F350 Pickup, so I was safe n sound, just annoyed.

I was rear ended by some girl who left the scene.

On the day of my grandmas wake, my van was rear ended by some doofus. I got out of the van, looked at the bumper, which was fine, and calmly walked up to the guy. I told him that I was going to a wake and if he knew what was good for him, he'd pay more attention or he'd be the next one in a coffin. He was some 40 year old schmuck and he was literally terrified. Honestly, that made my day. I laughed for a good couple of minutes, and the people who saw me at the funeral parlor were like "what could be so funny?" My mom explained it to them and they laughed as well. Good times, kinda

It's safe to say that I know this feel.
It's good to hear that you're alright. May I ask what kind of car was it? My drivers side door doesn't open either, but I'd say it's still got a long way to go until I give up and sell it. Gotta love Japanese vehicular works. Not too fond of their planes, though.

I was at a birthday house party of one of my friends, we all parked out the front and down the street. I was sitting down conversing with everyone when matty (my friend whos birthday it was) came to me with a somewhat serious look on his face and spoke "hey Rowan, come with me"

My heart sank because as he was leading me through the garage I knew exactly what had happened.

A car has reversed into my right front end of my car, caving it in somewhat. Luckily the woman was nice and she actually went to the effort to get matthew (as she was a neighbor, not apart of the party) and inform us of what happened. We went through insurance and everything got taken care of within a few months.

I drive a BMW325i e36 1991, white.

Im taking it in tomorrow, i work between a body shop and a mechanic, and the guy at the body shop said he'd fix it, but that he needed a jig from the garage next door but he wouldnt hand it over because hes fell out with my boss. I gave him a peice of my mind, still didnt get the jog but it made me feel better. So i just took it elsewhere proceeding to tell him that steve the mechanic is a wanker

Ive just told garage dude to do what he can at minimal cost (gotta drop it off in the morning and bhe'll let me know how much its gunna cost me D: ), im not arsed about a full repair job, I just need to be able to open my door and close the bonnet prioperly, its shunted back about an inch and a half over the drivers wing

ive made abit of a mess of the frame apparently. ugh

I was in a truck that got rear-ended on Thanksgiving once, but it wasn't very fast. I was fourteen or so, and I just ended up some whiplash.

Then, the day before New Years Eve this year, I got hit while I was at the bar. I didn't notice it until the next day, but yeah, it really messed up my bed. I think somebody had parked next to me and just decided to crank the wheel and gun it out of their parking space, but wasn't out far enough to get past my truck. They were probably drunk, too -- there's no way they couldn't have noticed it, they had to back up after they hit me to get around. What really pissed me off is that it would take about a grand to fix it, and there was no note or insurance card or anything ... at least it's nothing that makes it unable to drive.

Other than that ... I've been in quite a few vehicles that have been blown up, but not many that were hit by other vehicles. I've been in a humvee and pushed other vehicles with it (either out of the way or pushing other humvees out of dangerous areas), and I've been in a Husky and pushed plenty of cars off the road, and I've even been in a Buffalo when another schmuck in my platoon misjudged a turn and bumped me with the truck he was driving, but as far as "accidents" go, nope, not much.

You only crashed your car, Lily, because you're a woman, and like usual, women are bad drivers.

I, on the other hand, have never crashed my car, because I am a man, and therefore am an excellent driver. I have been in collisions before, but only because other drivers, mainly women, have crashed into my car. And that is because women are bad drivers. And so are people from New Jersey.

[Lily]

i just wanted to get home for cake ):

I keep banging my head on the window trying to get out on the drivers side, its getting old fast argh

My Taurus never got into any sort of wreck while it was under my ownership, but the 2008 Honda Fit I bought brand spanking new has been rear-ended FOUR TIMES since I got it. Three of those were at yields (all three women, all three on cellphones - just an observation).

The first and the worst of the bunch though was one that took me out of work for a week, after having only had the car for two months. I got rear-ended by an older gentleman driving an F-350. We were waiting in the road for a car up ahead turning left into a residential neighborhood, and the street I was on didn't have a center turn lane. Old guy comes blaring through the intersection a block behind us at 40 without realizing that we're dead-stopped in front of him, and plowed into my car full speed.

Minor injuries. Car was nearly totaled.

After Vandergriff fixed it, it actually ran better than it did new off the lot. Entirely new rear half of the chassis, rear quarterpanels and hatchback door, new taillights, etc. My gas mileage went up by an average of 3mpg, so I wasn't complaining. And I didn't pay a dime, not for missed work, ER bills, car damage, nothing. The guy's insurance covered all of it.

i wasnt on the phone, but admittedly I was thinking I was lewis hamilton... actually, i go into mario kart mode everytime i get in the car, i cant seem to help myself, since the crash ive been trying to be more sensible about it. then someone goes and cuts me up today, and i made it my mission to get back infront of him.

I just cant seem to help myself, im too much of a livewire to be allowed the resposibility of a car ):

Oh, that dude got back to me as well. 750 quid my arse. Ive been on to my insurers to make them aware, but am not claiming for my own car as i can get it fixed myself not worth the excess.

If they then come back and say theyve assessed it at like 4 or 500 hundred, then il take that on the chin and pay it myself, but only if it doesnt affect the boys no claims

then i should be able to worm my way back in the good books.
