I got smoked on my bike back in Oct. from some dumbass texting while driving.. Some lady was making a U-turn and he wasnt paying attention, locked up the brakes and swerved to miss her and end up clipping me. Nothing like flying across the bed of a Toyota pick up to land in a ditch.... Then the asshole left me for dead, cops never caught him.....

At the moment I will probably have to have fixed... I have damn near 245k miles on it so kbb wouldn't give me crap on it and I still owe almost $9k (Yeh, lotta miles for owing that much) but it was only car I've ever owned where I didn't look through car lots at what was "next"... figured id drive this one til she dropped and keep upgrading parts on an as-needed basis :)

Yeh, I bought it with 47k miles, just drove the piss out of it. I believe I had gap insurance, but I'd rather them fix it because they can't replace it... Find me a Mach 1 with 245k miles that ran as good as mine did and the body/interior had no damage....

Here are a few daytime pictures

The picture from the drivers side shows how far she shoved my car forward with the hit... Both Ebrake and in first gear and moved my car forward as my drivers door initially lined up with sidewalk!

Other than that, damage doesn't look horrible... Her van will definitely be totalled!

:eek:

Sorry to hear about this.

That's always been a nightmare of mine whenever I've been forced to park on the street.

Damn. That's gotta suck, bro. Hope your luck turns around.

This is one of the reasons i'm glad I don't live near the road. Sucks having a long dirt drive way when it comes to car care, though.

Lol... messed up part is my street is around 40 ft wide at this point.. Not only that, but I was parked against traffic (doesn't matter in this small town) and she came accross both lanes to hit me!

looks like about 8k parts and paint. Did it just bend the rim or did it bend the axle tube?

that sucks man. texting is so ****ing stupid. especially while driving. I got rear-ended in my beater at a light from someone doing this, i got out and proceeded to yanking the dude out of the car and screaming. Once i found out he was texting I then punched him in the mouth. Nothing more negligent while driving.
Riding with my wife and kid some bitch was texting and swerving. almost hit me twice. I followed her to her house and proceeded to scream at her in front of her husband and kids. She tried to deny it, and her husband was just standing there more shocked that i was yelling than anything.
**** people that text and drive, ive even yell at close friends when riding with them when they do it. It ****ing pisses me off. Just ****ing call or wait.

Yet another fine example of why texting/talking on the phone should be illegal in all 50 states. People can't drive in the first place, never mind while yapping/texting on the phone. I hope all works out for the better for you dude, sorry this happened to you.
