It's fine.

Was I talking about it to you on Diablo? I don't really remember :/

I went to see the doctor and all and he said I was OK

Yeah, I'm wondering also, must have been a drunk or something.

That said, happy to hear you're doing well after that, hopefully something can be done with your car (or, at worst, the guy's insurance ends up getting you a new one).

I was stopped at a red light (behind 5-6 cars). He hit my car from behind. I didn't stop suddenly or anything, I was just stopped at a red light..
This is a common occurrence in BC. People can't drive worth shit.

Sorry about thas, it all became really confusing and I was playing my HC character :P
My head was still in slow mode

Same thing happened to me once. A giant ass Yellow Dodge Ram plowed into the back of my little Cav. Crunched it up pretty well. I seriously thought he was going to run me right over ha. The dude was handicap and tried to leave the scene. Good times.

Yeah, I did hear that people were worse in BC than here in Ottawa/Gatineau.
I never understood what's so hard about driving to the point of people hitting other cars, the first time I drove I was a better driver than just about anyone else in my city... Last week a POLICE CAR almost hit me, it's just insane (he had a stop sign, I didn't so I just turned left, he went forward anyways... I'm surprised he didn't arrest me, the cops here are morons).

That sucks... Looks like the rest of it was pristine, too.  I think it's cute that the girl in the photo looks like she's trying to cheer you up re: the damage.

Hopefully the insurance stuff goes smoothly.

Ooo, no disrespect to the Mazda 3, but that's a pretty lil' number.  Nice!

Miatas are pretty cool, nice replacement there.
Hopefully you don't plan on ever driving more than 1 person around at a time though :P

I used to have both a Del Sol and a Miata as 2 seaters ... the 2 cars Ive owned that I miss. :(

Yeah it's not very practical but I can get away with it now. When/if I become a responsible adult/parent, I can't really have one unless I own several cars.

Don't do it!!! Never stop gaming :D

Its possible to do both ... just a pain in the ass most of the time. My game room has to remain locked any time Im not in there cause my son is obsessed! But I get to share my hobby with my babies who seem to sometimes be more interested than I am. :P


As far as the Miata, whenever you do become responsible, I still am not ... I want it!

I don't have to lock the room just the stuff I don't want my son to play with gets locked up. Thankfully he is good about only taking one game at a time and returning it to the right spot on the shelf which is pretty good for a 6 year old.
