Got rearended today...

So there I was minding my own business and bam.

The wife and I took the boys to a baseball game today. We were leaving the stadium driving towards the interstate. I am watching this car inmy rearview mirror that is swerving all over the road. Then I see the car behind it pull up along side and they are yelling at each other. I stop for a red light and am watching the show in the mirror. The car behind me is so busy fighting with the other car she rearended me. I was furious. I jumped out and gave her a piece of my mind. She starts yelling back at me in her best ebonics slang. Make along story shorter the car they were fighting with stopeed and told me what was happening and the girl who hit me was throwing stuff at their car when she hit me. They left their info for the cops. Another car stayed as witnesses too. Cops show up and cite her for following too close but nothing else even though there were witnesses to everything.

The truck ('00 Sierra) just needs a bumper and maybe brackets. It is pushed in a little on the left side. My receiver punched through her bumper ('03 Taurus). Oh the best part, the driver/passenger were brother/sister. Their parents showed up minutes after it happened. Mom walks up, opens the passenger door and beat the tar out of the son. It was friggin hilarious.

So now I get to deal with the insurance company, she has Progressive. I want a new GM bumper and brackets, period.

So this is my 3rd accident. All 3 I was rearended while at a stop. How's that for bad luck? Oh, no bad injuries but the wife was turned talking to the boys and she says she's a little sore in the shoulder

That sucks... hope everyone is ok. Tell your wife to go get checked out just to be sure... Doesn't sound like the damage to your truck was too bad, shouldn't have any trouble getting GM stuff if you demand it.

As long as you guys are OK that is what counts. I bet you would have loved to had a camera for that little show!

You're lucky the savage had insurance!!! Thank God you weren't injured.

I went through the uninsured game on the 2nd wreck. She had no insurance. I had to make the claim on mine but fortunately it never affected my rates. I'm going to price the new bumper and brackets today.
