Wrote my car off - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Foster Mom · 08-05-2011, 04:59 PM

It was raining quite hard yesterday on my way to work and my car hydroplaned and slammed me into a concrete barrier. Pulled all the muscles in my necka nd shoulder and am really quite sore today, but it could have been worse. Doc at the hospital yesterday told me not to go back to work until Tuesday, but being as I just started this job and had taken Wed morning off to do the sugning for buying our house, I left the hospital and went directly to work, my boss sure was surprised to see me.

6800.00 damage to my car. When I do it, I do it good I guess. Even broke a motor mount...how does one manage that?!?!?

Found a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon I am going to test drive tomorrow and hopefully bring home with me. I guess I now get car payments again. That part sucks, I kinda liked having a car that was paid off....

Just glad Pixie and Nya were not with me, they would have been seriously hurt or worse....

Lame... Glad to hear you are alright though!

lil fu fu girl · 08-05-2011, 05:34 PM

It must have been horrifying!

Perrella · 08-05-2011, 05:38 PM

Oh my, I'm so sorry you lost your car...but thank the Lord, you walked away and the babies weren't with you. I know you will be in alot of pain for a few days, rest and take it easy. Hugs))) feel better soon.

Ahis_Mama · 08-05-2011, 05:47 PM

Thank goodness you are ok. Yes...it could have been worse. Good thing your angel was with you that day.

BabyGirl Rosie · 08-05-2011, 06:08 PM

Oh my!! So sorry to hear about your car. Thank goodness you were ok!

susan lynn · 08-05-2011, 06:47 PM

Cars can be replaced people can't. Happy to hear you are ok. Becareful with that neck and shoulder injury. I had a minor accident 25 years ago, someone rear ended me, and I still have problems with my neck and shoulders. Glad your babies were at home and they are ok, they will take care of their mommy.

Sandysbabies · 08-05-2011, 07:33 PM

So sorry to hear about your accident. Take care of yourself because some injuries can show up months or even years later.

Lil Sis · 08-05-2011, 07:40 PM

I am so glad you are ok!!!

RileyDC · 08-06-2011, 05:59 AM

I'm sooo glad you are okay and it wasn't any worse..... Take it easy the next couple of weeks.

Oh, bless your heart, that was a close call. I am so sorry this happened to you but glad you are not in ICU seriously injured! Sprains and sore muscles, as bad as they can be and as long as some can last, are so much better than brain and spine injuries! I hope that you can find a replacement car tomorrow! I hate car shopping more than almost anything in the world! My last one, I just left it up to my son and wrote the check! I sure hope that you heal very, very fast and take care of yourself on that new job. Sounds like you have had your plate very full lately. I truly hope the future holds some better things for you and will be praying for you. Stay strong and keep your chin up. Feel better soon.

I agree with Sandysbabies and SusanLynn. Please take care of yourself.
I am glad you were not badly hurt and that your babies were not with you. Hope you find a car that fits your needs quickly.

Just waiting on pins and needles to see if we got approved for the loan, went and test drove the Tiburon today and fell in love with it. Cross your finger I get it please, I really want it.

I too am so glad The girls were not with me, I am not sure they would have survived, the guy at the body shop who appraised the car was VERY shocked I was not badly injured just based on what the car looked like. Concrete is not very forgiving and has no "give" at all.....

Thanks for the good thoughts, i appreciate it
