That's ok, I won't hold it against you. :) I have been to Wisconsin though. :booty: And Minnesota.

Any updates today Brandon? I know things like this usually don't happen fast (enough).

wow man that blows ... well if your going to pick up anything other than a honda, get a suby ... don't bother buying your car back from the insurance, it looks like it is a total loss and even then would cost more to repair it than the value of the car and in the end will be a salvaged vehicle ... not worth it

damn Brandon sucks to see the pictures as a reminder of what happened. Like I said if you need help with anything I am alway available to help out. Is your insurance going to pursue anything from the other accident that cause yours?

damn.... that sucks bro, what happen?

post #1 :eusa_doh:

The story:
We were in a line of ~7 6th gens, a 3G TL, and a herrafrush IS350 heading to the other meet spot. We were approaching a 3 car accident on our right in which a Ford Ranger rear ended a Jeep Liberty, causing the Ford radiator to bust open and spill a few gallons of coolant on the road (in the lane we were driving in). Right after the accident we needed to take a right turn and Eric and I were near the end of the line. The 4 or so cars in front of us were braking for a red light and when I started to brake, all 4 of my tires were in the coolant and locked up, causing me to slide before I reached dry pavement. I bumped the coupe in front of me, he rolled forward about 3 feet and then Eric slid through the same coolant, but never reached dry pavement and plowed right into me, sending me into the coupe once more. All of it happened in what felt like 3 seconds, we were only going about 30 miles an hour too. :(

The nice thing is that Eric and I both have full coverage and I carry mod coverage up to $2500, so Eric's car will hopefully be fixed and I'm looking for something else. Depending on how much insurance gives me and/or gives me a reasonable deal on buying the car back, I would possibly buy another 6th gen sedan or I've also been looking at some 06 and newer cars under $17k...
