My poor ej was parked on my street and got side-swiped this morning. The hyundai-driving college student that hit it claims she was reaching for her coffee and didn't see it

The frame doesn't appear to be bent but the bumper, side panel, taillight, tire, and both rear hubcaps were damaged, the side of the car was scratched, and the sideview mirror launched about 15ft away (she was going way faster than 25mph).

Working from home today. Have a guy coming to repair 3 cracks in the foundation for $440 total. Doing it so I can waterproof the basement before I finish it for a little added insurance that it shouldn't leak.

My poor '97 Civic EX Coupe got totaled, so I replaced it with an '01 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe

Now my parents are jealous because I have a nicer car than they do ('04 Civic LX Sedan)

Really, it ended up being totaled? That sucks man. Damage didn't look that bad from the picture.

Just another day of working from home (everyday). Just about ready to leave and go fishing when a storm decided to roll through and just start pissing away my afternoon. IMG_2045.jpg

Insurance actually valued my car at $2400, but between the hard-to-find-without-rust quarter panel, the bent under-frame bar, smashed taillight, blown tire, and smashed mirror, total repair cost came to about $3000.
If it was paid for just take the check from the insurance company and fix that s**t yourself.

I thought about it, but I don't have welding equipment (I'd rather not just hammer out the panel) or the time it would take to repair it all. Besides, for not much extra I was able to buy a really nice used accord.

Reorginizing my fishing tackle, respooled a few rods. All while playing several poker tournaments online ClubWPT and watching movies.

Did the first DIY repair on my new accord; who ever thought using plastic ball joints in sway bar links was a good idea? At least I don't hear a "clunk" noise when I turn left anymore.

Tom Brady got re-suspended hahahahahahaha

The draft hasn't happened yet.. it's this Thursday! I don't think the NFL did it this time, though... they can't really tell a US Federal Appeals Court when to make their ruling.

And please, no SB! At least not for New England. I wouldn't mind Brady being on another team and winning. I'm from New England, where if you aren't a Patriots fan, you strongly dislike them. There is no middle ground lol. Not to mention more than half of my friends are Pats fans, so this s**t literally covers my facebook wall :lol:

Ya I meant to say now that the draft isn't over with. NFL just wants some limelight. Totally misleading comment.

I am farthest from being a Pats fan as well. But this s**t is f**king stupid.

Got home at about 7am, drove straight through from Tennessee
Had a blast this weekend up on the touge, looking forward to the next event

Did one last run through the Dragon yesterday before heading out
Stopped in Pigeon Forge, then on to Gatlinburg for lunch and walked around for an hour or two
Then it was some more backwoods driving over to I40, I26, and I95 home
