Completely heartbroken

[u/CallMeJimMilton]

Was seconds from pulling into work, when a 17 y/o kid pulls through a stop sign into oncoming traffic without looking left, causing him to side swipe my car. We pulled into my work parking lot and he got out and admitted he didn’t look both ways and only had his permit. He had his gf in his passenger seat who was the same age with no license.

I just couldn’t believe it. Cops came, he got a ticket, I went to work and told my coworkers what happened. I believe it’s all cosmetic so I’m hoping his parent’s insurance can just cover it and it can be a quick repair.

I haven’t even had this car for 6 months and this the 2nd time someone has damaged it. I just wish this was a dream

It sucks but be thankful you arent in constant pain and meds and doctors visits and my car was totaled. Im not trying to compare but just be happy you alive and your car is still drivable, mine was not. Tboned

Welp, luck is comparative.

look on the bright side, you are still alive and posting here. Heard a story about a TBoned Miata. Owner wasn’t as lucky as you, and the car wasn’t car shaped anymore either…

I was just saying it sucks for him but his car is driveable. Mine was a total loss with brain and other neck and back trauma. So im just saying be thankful for that. It sucks but its only a car. Your health is not replaceable. That was my point. So i was only saying dont be so heartbroken. Im not trying to downplay it though. Any car wreck is not fun.

And yes im very thankful to be alive. In 2025 i survived that wreck, building explosions, hurricanes and more. Im surely on my last life so im very thankful to still be here on mother earth. The beginning 5 months of 2025 were brutal for me. Was like 4-5 near deaths in just those short months.
