Unhappy Heavy Traffic! Playing with Radio! BAM !!!!!

My first crash, just reared someone hard!!!! Was playing with my radio, slowly moving forward. Lucky i hit his tow bar, no damage to his ford falcon. But damaged my front panel!

I now have a ncie round dent in the front. Not sure how much it is gonna cost, but i think insurance will be a lot more.

Might as well just pay cash. Im at work now. As soon as i get home ill post some pics because i would like you guys to asses the damage.

naaa was going way to slow. Although the guy in the ford was about 68 years old.. so im grateful that he didnt hold his neck and YELL AHHH my neck.

I dont want to be sued at such young age! Ive got mods to buy !

And in an 06 if you want the same torque then get an auto cus it has the same motor from 05!
Does anyone concur?
Peace!

You're lucky.

At least your airbags didn't deploy. At least your negligence didn't get someone hurt or killed.

I really wish people would pay more attention when they hurl their hunk of metal around.

06 6MT have more HP and less TQ, while the auto has the old specs. But why buy an auto? I've never had one nor will I.

Sorry bout the accident, pay cash to have it fixed if you can. Insurance will rape you due to age anyways, sure don't want an at-fault accident to haunt you for 3 years as well.

yeah man, its arite, it happened to me. Luckily i was driving my moms ride :-D. It was done pretty badly...nissan makes soft crush zones- i was in a maxima. Anyway, I turned around to yield, and i let go off the brake, and im so used to driving manual that i forgot the car goes forward.. anyway, i went into a lincoln navigator going 5mph and the hood, front bumper, both headlights, radiator support and even some body was damaged. It was a bad day. In the end, it cost 4700 to repair, and the body shop damaged the airbad sensors and air comp for AC, and its back in teh shop again after a 6 week wait. My insurance doubled.

lol, completely off topic, but I saw a young lady near the college, yesterday, run into the back of some other car. They weren't going fast at all, maybe 15 MPH, but when she hit, it freaked her out so bad that she slammed the gas, causing her a double tap the car in front of her into yet another car, an 06 Mustang GT.

And, of course, she was bsing on the damn phone.

Needless to say I sat and enjoyed a hardy laugh at her expense. I thought dude in the stang was going to fillet her, he was quite livid, and didn't buy into all the crying that ensued.
