its only been 4 and a half months and i've already been in two accidents. the first one with a f*cktard meter maid backing up into my front bumper two months after i get my car while on my way to work.

the second one happened yesterday while also on my way to work. a 75 year old lady driving a S600 decides to make a left turn on a red and plows right into me as i was going straight. i'm scared s#hitless and end up riding my jeep up onto the corner curb. i'm pretty shaken up, fearing i had run a pedestrian over. i get out of my car and i see a bumper in the middle of the road and debris everywhere. i take a walk around the jeep and everything is still intact... unbelievable! she pulls over and i realize the bumper laying in the middle of the street was hers. the damage i incurred from a straight on collision to my driver side door and rear passenger door are minimal (see pics).

i totally thought these american made cars would have blown up if in an accident like this but it amazed me to see that i came away with minimal damage while her car had to get towed away. the jeep truly is a BEAST!

good thing is that three people pulled over and gave me their info as witnesses... one was a district attorney for the city of santa monica and another was a doctor. they parked their cars and came running towards me to let me know that they all saw her run the red light and hit me. the DA was going in the same direction as me and the old lady actually turned right in front of her before hitting me.

with this kind of damage to the doors, how would they fix this? please don't tell me bondo. it's a brand new car and i would like brand new doors!!

Freakn Old People........

O Damn, Sorry to hear that, But glad your OK, Insane stupid drivers @#@%^!@

that stinks u will get new doors they cant put bondo on the bottom i wont think at least u r ok

So there is a benefit of driving a 5000 lb SUV ;)

It looks like it should be a easy repair.

I feel for you. Looks like she just tapped you by the damage. Should be a couple of new doors and a touch of paint and good as new. I bet her bumper will cost more then your whole repair. :eek:

Her driver's license should be revoked!!!

Damn dude......and u were still working ou the front bumper issue.....

Go nab the old ladies purse and pay for NEW doors! lol

Glad your okay. These Jeeps really are beasts.

Needless to say, the lady was loaded... address was in Bel Air, called W.I. Simonson Mercedes on the spot for a loaner car, and had diamonds dripping from every finger/earlobe.

If I was anything like the shady folks who live here in LA, then I would've been screaming "my neck, my back... my neck and my back!" But I don't do that s#it cause it fcuks up insurance rates for everyone and as we all know, insuring our cars ain't cheap.

Paul, I still ain't get my damn bumper fixed and now this!!

Are you 100% sure you don't need to be checked out by a doctor?:D

lol! i'm pretty sure... though i wouldn't mind a turbo or supercharger. sh!t, i wouldn't mind a borla as i can't see myself droppin a g for an exhaust upgrade that has minimal hp gains.

if i claim injuries, i won't be able to work out, turn my neck, check out girls.... it's too much of a hassle. hahaha... and besides, karma is a biznatch!

shes driving a s550 make her pay for doors and anything else u need

wow 75 and shes still driving!!!

Glad your ok

you guys would be surprised at how young she looked. i thought she was 50 and had cougar status... but she was born in the 1930s!!

i'd still beat it up though... :D

Personally I think that in order to draw social security you should forefit your license. But thats just me.

good thing you didn't get hurt and the Jeep wasn't that badly damaged. It does suck getting into an accident!

Freakin bad drivers.....the real young, the real old, the real vain female and folks on cellphones!:eek:

Driving a S600, I don't think she needs social security, but I agree.

WTF!!! :eek:Only 5 more months to go...:(I'd probably commit suicide if I couldn't drive my beast anymore!!!!:rolleyes:Oh, wait, will have to postpone getting SS until older...All's good again:D

Hahaha... Mandan, you geezer... strap the HEMI to your walker or the Rascal Scooter! lol! I kid, I kid!!

Wow, sorry to hear that bro!!!!

Sorry to hear about all your bad luck. With all your jeep shop time, I guess that's one way to keep the mileage down and save money on gas ;)
