 Posted: 09/08/05 - 21:57 Post subject: When was the last time you had a traffic accident?
For me it was last July while parking head first into a narrow parking stall...The right side of the car was scratched and dented after scrapping against the back of a truck in the neighboring stall...The guy's truck was also damaged...fortunately no one was there so I carefully backed out again and headed for another parking stall far far away... 
It was my parents' car that I damaged but my mom had previously made some scratches on the side as well (so did my dad) so my parents weren't too mad at me anyways...
How bout you?

TODAY!!!! 
My co-worker tried to take a ridiculous right turn into a hotel going 40 miles per hour...Slams on the brake and we smash into the little 'island' between the driveways...
Cracked the oil pan, smoke everywhere....He just laughed it off.

March of 1992. Someone pulled out in front of me and I hit them broadside at 55MPH.  I'll never forget that day although nobody was killed it was very tramatizing.

I backed into a rather large cherry tree about 5 years ago while trying to leave a friend's lot where I was helping him build his house. Left my right tailight in pieces and crinkled the right side of my truck bed somewhat.
Most spectacular incident: 1978, drag racing a friend on a back road, he lost control and bumped my right rear quarter panel.... I spun 2 times and rolled over ending up upside down in a ditch. That sucked. Was wearing a seat belt even back in those old days and I'm guessing that's why I'm still here. I believe the speedo read 94 mph when this event occurred.

A real car-on-car accident - fall of 1975 in the Twin Cities.
Best mishap was a year later, when I was backing up a friend's car behind a bar and drove it into the lake.

Oh, yeah? Well...well...well, I'm in the middle of a car accident right now. I've been Riff Raffing from my commute and got hit by a Dodge Ram!

Yes it did. Everyone else was drunk. I actually did not have anything to drink that night. The north woods of Wisconsin are not exact lit up like downtown at Christmas at three in the morning.... splash.

September, 1987. I was rear-ended by a school bus on my way to work. I got whiplash; fortunately my 3 year old in the back seat was okay.

1994 I had a few small accidents in a span of about 3 weeks. 
Rearended someone, and cleaned out a few ditches.
