There is always a first time for everything...

... also for the first accident... no worries, I'm fine... no damages on me or the baby. Since I have my driver license I have had no accidents but today my clean record got screwed up. It wasn't even my fault because I got hit. I was on the left lane, passing cars and saw it coming already that the line of cars in front of me were going into their breaks... so I prepared and hit the breaks as well. Actually it was a harder stop than I expected but nevertheless... I was ok... not when I was looking in my review mirror... the car just seemed to fly into me. I tried to go to the side a little so he won't hit me as hard or will make it to slow down next to me. But he didn't make it... and plong... :(... I mean nothing really happened to us so that was good and I wanted to call 911 right away since I've heard too many stupid stories about accidents and insurance stuff. He had to make an appointment (he was with his girlfriend) in Ann Arbor but I didn't care. Then his girlfriend said that he has only an international driver license. I told them no problem... won't be bad, just want to have it reported the right way. I'm not leaving here until we have it reported the right way ;).
911 is never quick, let me tell you that. It's the second time I called them and again... waited 30 minutes at least. Called them a second time but they told us they're already on their way. Ok... I guess the guys missed their appointment, not my problem though, they shouldn't have hit me ;). So I don't know how I should feel. I'm glad nothing happend, I'm sad that it happend and that I have an accident on my previous clean record and I'm totally pissed that my car has these scratches now :(. What a mess... it will bother me every time I see it. Sure enough I'll call the insurance company and will see what's in for me. I might even let it repair or just take the money. The car has already so many 'other cars opening the doors and I don't care who's next to me' dents and now additional scratches... nice!!!
It seems that the guy 'picked me up'... here my damage:
Luckily if you look from the standing posistion you don't see it that badly... but if you look from the back :(... DAMN IT!!! I need to let it all checked out by a car shop if it's just a cosmetic damage or if the 'frame' changed at all. I'll get all the details and when the homework is done, I'll call up the insurance :).
He had a 2005 Infinity, pimped!!! Tja buddy... I'm sorry for your nice car... Just for the records, a 20 year old boy with a license for 3 years. But he was nice, can't say anything bad about him.

Puh, Glück gehabt. Bin froh, dass dir nichts passiert ist.
Als mich mal einer angedetscht hat, hat man noch nicht einmal was gesehen, aber ich war am Zittern!! Das glaubst du nicht, aber du scheinst das ja alles ganz cool zu nehmen. ;) Ist ja auch besser so.
