Hi Folks,
As to my previous thread I posted about an incendent I had while driving on the florida highway (i95)
Going to work, had a tractor trailor tire shred get kicked up and go through my bottom front grill of the car. Had to get the front bumper conver replaced, new radiator, a/c condensior, transmission lines, a/c lines, skid plate, front c'member, valance panel, radiator supports...
anyways - insurance paid $2,500.. car LOOKED NEW when i drove it off the repair shop..
That night I was going to look at new cars for the Lincoln..... On the way to dealer ship -> BAM another axident!!...
This time, I was getting off the highway, Waiting for off ramp light.. cruised went around the bend to go under a bridge (another light) It was yellow - more than likely red after I got under it..
Older gentleman with an OLD little toyota was already out in the intersection.. Well, I slammed the brakes the whole car locked up and skidded, i pulled e-brake slightly and turned car sideways.... nonetheless STILL HIT HIM -> T boned the guy n driver side.
The lincoln was actually fine. Only scrapes on the driver side bumper for my half, scraped it up pretty bad - I'll post pictures soon.
Well after the matter, I got received TICKET for "careless" driving from the officer. Luckly she was very nice and said she seen the tail end of the incident and Said I did everything that I could... the gentleman refused any help whatsoever and didnt want to talk with anyone..
Lastly... Drove car to dealership - they checked it out... With 116,782 miles on the ticker - I asked for 3,600 for it.. (knew I would get less with the new damage).
They gave me $4,000 for the CAR!!!... phew...
I was looking @ a 2003 Mustang Mach 1 - blue with intake and exhaust... 31,000 miles... They sold that before I had a chance.
Anyways, Due to finance and me having to roll over little over 1 grand into new loan. (pay off was $5,581.11) -- Mainly because of the extra warranties I had purchased with car -- bad mistake.
I picked up a USED 2006 Mercury Montego PREMIER -- Loaded with navi system and sunroof... 31,555 miles on it.
What week.
