Well, I was just walking away from my car this morning and decided to take a quick photo because I thought it was looking extra nice (Ignore the shack / abandoned mazda, I park in the old lorry park near work to stop people opening their dorrs onto mine)
Then on my way home I looked up, saw a row of cars that i thought was moving, skipped a couple of tracks on my headunit and looked back up and there was a car right in front of me, slammed my brakes on but hit the car in front at a fair speed, my first ever accident:
Obviously totally my fault and the most important thing is that everyone is OK but still gutted about the car nevertheless.
I've contacted my insurance and described the damage to them and they reckon there's a fair chance of it being repaired according to their damage matrix, however I'm not so sure. Both airbags deployed, bonnet is totally bent up, both wings have damage, coolant pouring all over, bumper, grill and slam panel all completely destroyed. It'll be a very sad day (as i searched for so long to find the "right" car) but I'm expecting it to be written off.
It's only tin and plastic at the end of the day of course, everyone is fine which was my priority, i just feel like a right idiot.
