Got Cut off and Accident

Post by dmitri »

Some lady pulled out of a gas station and didnt look. When she saw me coming i guess she froze up? i was able to slow to about 10 mph im guessing, maybe a little faster. My hood is dented in front and the bumper is cracked. But, when i went to the dealer upon further inspection is 3000$ of damage because the whole nose moved, and the tie bar is crooked.Her insurance has to pay im fine. ill post some pics later of my car.

Maybe I should be glad that mine is in the parking lot at the airport. Oh, I hope it is ok. Airport parking lots are the worst for door dings.Glad nobody was hurt. Everybody needs to be careful out there!

Seems like it's awful expensive to fix minor damages on the Vibe...

And you were only going around 10 mph? That's kind of scary..

dmitri - glad you are okay and your car will be fixed.Quote, originally posted by Kari »Okay this seriously must be open season for Vibes...I think I'm going to avoid driving this week.Glad nobody has been hurt except the Vibes though...I was telling a friend of mine about all of the Vibes that are getting hit. He said it may be due to the fact that our cars look so cool that people are distracted by our cool cars, and just aren't paying attention. He loves the Vibe and is getting ready to buy one of his own. He should show up out here soon!!!!Everybody just be really careful out there!!!!!!
