Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Keep Nick, Bluegtp91 in your thoughts and prayers.

Here is what I posted on FB for those not friends with me or whatnot...

Thanks everyone...I just got home, it happened just before 9. I was in the left hand lane on 291 coming down the hill right before Kentucky traveling around 55mph...there was a mid '90's Silverado Ext. Cab sitting inbetween the lanes which I found odd and as soon as I got about 30 feet from the intersection he creeped right in front of my car...I literally had about 2 seconds to stop the car and it wasn't happening. I collided right into his passenger side tire area which apparently is the worst place to hit since I got to meet the motor and transmission of the truck...the guy is lucky he was by himself or there would have been a body bag for that person. Kim and I both got some nasty lacerations from the seat belts...we also both got some nice jacked up knees from slamming into the dash on impact. I've got some nasty burns on my arms from the airbag/steering wheel and some cuts/bruises galore along with Kimbo. Kicker is...3 things:

1) I have a neck brace that I get to wear the next few days...classic. They want to make sure nothing is seriously damaged as nothing showed up on the x-ray but my neck/upper back are bruised pretty good from whiplash/airbag/etc...not to mention my splitting ass headache I've had since 9.

2) I didn't even get to eat my damned Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapenos Chips that we just picked up at the QT in Independence...bastards.

AND...

3) FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A SAFE DAILY DRIVER...here's your proof you wanted ...I thought this car was a tin can POS all in all...horribly un-refined...but I hit a Extended Cab, Long Bed, Silverado @ 55~mph...while he was around 5mph...If that...Cobalt saved mine/Kim's lives...I'd buy another in a heartbeat now...Seat Belts, Air Bags, and for once some quality engineering on GM's part. Also, goes to show ANYONE who ever thinks getting behind the wheel for a beer run (which his guy had a full case of beer in the truck)...think twice...you might just take the lives of some innocent people who were just on their way home from visiting some friends and enjoying a nice night.

Nick Seaton = praying tonight; that is for DAMN sure.



So....

Going to see tomorrow whats up with the Insurance companies.

Yanked this from my members ride thread.

Thanks everyone again...from both Kim and I. I know one thing for sure is when I finally get to sleep tonight...I'm gonna be feeling it.
 


good to hear back from you, nick. sucks about the car and the accident. i was looking for more details last night, but you must have not been paying attention to what you were saying to me, but i assume you were busy. hope you have a speedy recovery from the minor injuries you suffered, but at least they were minor.

any news on the driver of the silverados condition? nothing, probably?
 
Glad to hear you're ok. Property damage cases are never fun. Just had a tractor trailer pull out in front of me a month ago and even with going thru a law firm, they only want to give me $500. But, since the other drive was a DUI, you might make out better. Wish you luck. If their insurance at first gives you a crappy offer, reject it. They'll come back with something better. And I don't know what other vehicles you have, but they'll have to reimburse you for a rental car. You have to pay for it up front though, so the cheapest I found was using a discount code at Budget. Google budget discount and usually get the code from retailmenot. The one I used I had to enter it twice and then it brought the price down by 2 levels (compared to other discount codes, it doesn't take a discount twice, sometimes just doesn't work the first time). Hope that helps.
