wow that damage is bad. I would cry. Really.

At least it doesn't look like it bet the actual frame itself, did it? Just the panels themselves...

I saw this over there and the yahoo who has a holier than thou attitude dislikes a word so he helps out by de"listing" the thread. Geez if you don't march to the tune there....! I wonder if it helps, is it a more dignified site?! Ok you have been raped and pillaged and get a bit hot and use some unfavorable language. Sorry this all happened and I understand the anger so as far as I am concerned swear all you want, I won't be offended. Freedom of speech goes both ways, since when is it only kinder words are to be used in your free speech!.......Oh how some strive to be angelic.

Rant over.....But I am still waiting to see if you got the tag #?!

In PA they are trying to ban cell phone use while driving, not that it will go through but there is a chance! Dude that sucks about the accident, hope you find the cock that took the life of your baby. When I had my accident it was raining also and boy does it ever suck-cold, wet, pissed off, and afterwards just want to sleep!

your post was removed from the other site because you have a garbage mouth and i have a feeling there's a lot more to what happened than you're posting.

you now post it was in a downpour but rain wasn't mentioned in your deleted post on the other site.

two things.

1) why does he have to justify anything to you?
2) lets see what your mouth is like after your car gets wrecked...

the one here with rain the other, deleted post, rain not mentioned.

fwi:
i was t-boned in my 87944S feb 17th a year ago doing 60 but my story didn't change from site to site, so i've been to the dance.

i posted pics at the time.

thanks for caring.

I still fail to see why he needs to yeild to your demand to have details on both sites to be identical. but anyway, what does rain have to do with a parking lot accident? he mentioned the rain because it forced him to tape up the window... if you doubt that there was rain in the chicago area on the day of the accident, check weather.com - close to 20mm. 30-something the day before.

Thanks for telling me about your situation. I found the post....

Link

in that post you state "driver turned in front of me as i was doing 45."

...

but that's impossible because you just told me that you were doing 60...
but your story didn't change from site to site, I'll give ya that.. it changed on the same site... so it's cool that you've been to the dance, just next time dont drink as much.... as damaging as it obviously is to your memory, you may wake up the next morning with a man named chuck who thinks you have a 'purdy smile'.

just looking out for you... that's what caring guys do..

I've had problems with getting my car towed after an accident by a company i wasn't fond of, also, After making a stink I came to find that towns, city's, etc; have contracts with tow companies and are forced to use them, unless you're not impeding the flow of traffic and your tow can respond as fast as theirs. From the pix, it's doesn't look like you were blocking traffic, though. I wasn't there, but I doubt the cop was on "the take." He probaly just didn't want to listen to the tow truck driver complain about not getting the job.... either way it's wrong.
good luck with everything

Chitown and Bearone2....seems you both failed vocabulary class. I think it's a shame that neither of you know how to communicate what you feel without using poor language. I have a 15 year old daughter that reads this as she likes to work on her car too and it's a shame that no matter how either of you spell it, your language is inappropriate. If I were Zman, I'd delete this post as well. I think freedom on speech is great, but only if it doesn't impede on others freedoms. I'm not perfect and don't claim to be but I can write a paragraph without four letter words. You just never know who is reading these posts to learn things. That's what this TECHNICAL forum is here for. If you just want to vent, then it's probably better in OT. I feel bad for anyone that loses a 944 as they are special to each of us...hopefully things will go better for you soon.

Good Luck.

Razorback1980,

If your gonna criticize on vocabulary check yourself.

" I think freedom on speech is great, but only if it doesn't impede on others freedoms "

Did you mean "Freedom of Speech."

I'll refrain from anymore foul language as I'm done ranting.

Bearone2,

Just exactly where did I say I had a parking lot accident. Please provide proof of where I've changed my story otherwise STFU!!!

whether 45 or 60, getting t-boned and surviving it says a lot for the integrity of the vehicle.

my error, at least the story didn't change 3x's over 3 days.

WTF are you talking about. When did my story change 3x over 3 days. How about you man up and apologize for talking crap and not backing up what you say with evidence where my story has changed. I'll consider this matter closed as you have no proof of your stupid claims.

Focus on catching the person who hit you. Then give him a what for. What happened to your car is a real shame. I hope you catch the person and get your car fixed
