arggg in an accident today :( so i was driving my trans am to school today (not high school lol) and i was coming off the highway, i accelerated from the stop light and the person in front of me hit his brakes leaving a foot between him and the car in front of him, i didn't have enough time to stop so i ended up hitting him 
anyhow my car doesn't look to bad, just some bumper, hood, radiator, window, and headlight damage the car in front of me (a metro) is definately totaled and it took the bumper off the car in front of him.
so glad i have insurance, i only got a $109 ticket and 3 pts, because the officer said that it wasnt entirely my fault but 'cause i was the last one in the chain of events I got the blame. oh well, i hope they can fix the T/A, it's a 2000 with mystic teal paint so i am worried how that will turn out.

ouch that sucks thats why i always allow a good sized following distance because i dont trust the idiots in front of me, you could be the best driver in the world but if you dont leave a good following distance idiots in front of you can ruin it all
accidents happen, it sounds fixable, chalk it up as lesson learned

Same thing happened to me back in january, except the guy cut in front of me and stopped real fast. He had a trailor hitch which in turn had a batterin ram effect on my car. It went through the bumgper and riped the hood latch down witch completly f***ed my hood up along with the bumper. Got lucky though, it stopped bout half an inch before the radiator. Guy didn't have a scratch on his truck so he just let it go and took off.
The paint guys at the dealer got a perfect match for me. So the car looks almost perfect now. I just need to do little adjustments with the hood.
