I was at fault. I slid through a red light and got hit. More damage to my car than the other guys. Now I've got to figure out everything to w/insurance, DMV etc.

It's not a DEEP dent in my car (front passenger side door) but it is the entire length of the door and a little bit in the back door too. I'm guessing I'll get soaked for about $2K.

damn!!!!

Oh jeff, that's terrible. Are you ok? What about the other people? What were you thinking/doing that you didn't notice a red light?????

We're both okay.

The light was green as I was kinda approaching it, I looked in another direction watching traffic, and when I turned my head back I just didn't notice it had turned red until I was just about RIGHT in the intersection.

I'm not a good driver either. I lose track of things like that a lot

lol.. At least you're honest about it. Maybe you should just rely on public transportation...

No, I just need to become a more aware driver and quit taking so many risks.

Well at least you're okay and you didn't hurt anyone else.

I don't have a car rental policy actually. Never had to rent a car in my life, lucky me. My brother rented one from them once AND had an accident with it

I had a car accident today as well. I accidently rear-ended a new BMW Z4. There was literally no damage to either car. The guy got out of his car to look at the damage. He was pissed, and he was a dwarf.

He came storming over to me as fast as his short little legs would carry him. With all the venom he could muster, he said, "I'm not Happy."

I couldn't help myself so I asked, "Then, which one are you?"

Thought you could use a little cheering up after your accident.

I wish that mine had been that simple :-)
