Bad Luck
Within the past two months, luck has not been on my side. In the middle of December I was rear-ended by a 99 ford explorer on my way back from picking my Camaro up from its 2 day stay at the dealership. The entire rear needed repair and the whole cost was estimated at over $7000. Everyone was fine from this accident, no injuries.
   I picked up my Camaro in January and I only got to enjoy it for two weeks. I was coming back to get my parking sensors activated as the body shop forgot to do it. As I was coming back, an elderly lady starts to perform a u-turn as I enter the intersection and I tried to avoid her, but there was just no way to avoid a collision. So far this accident has damages estimated at $9800 with more to come. No major injuries, just some soreness and sprains. Luck has not been good for me as I keep running into these bad drivers.       I wasn't responsible for either accident, as both the driver's were at fault. The time it takes for repair is so long. I don't know what will happen right now, I might get rid of the car and get another Camaro or get a different one. Maybe a Hyundai Gensis Coupe, or that new Ecoboost Mustang. If you guys have suggestions I am open to hearing them.

That's horrible.. Back in the 80's I had a Camaro that was jinxed. It got hit 3 times just sitting in front of my house.

When I got into an accident (not my fault), my world was flipped upside down without my car! I missed her so much! Then got her back after 7 weeks!

Bad drivers all over the road.
Two weeks ago me and wife were in an accident in her 2015 Explorer Sport. The other car (2008 Pontiac G8 GT) tried turning from the left lane to a side street right in front of me. 10K damage to wife's truck, totaled the G8. Best part the other driver had NO insurance. |

Sorry op, yes a bit of bad luck for you. Female drivers and the elderly (smh) I see it every day. She will be repaired and you will be back in her good as new before too long. Hang in there bro

You might want to hold off on the female drivers.My mom taught me how to drive and she could give any man a run for his money.

I think the attorney's call that "soft tissue damage". I'm thinking someone owes you for pain and suffering. For those that want to dismiss elderly driver's, they'll kill you in a heart beat.
