I am having some bad luck!
I was driving home from my friend's birthday dinner in town. My friend Steph was driving behind me in her 2001 Altima. Someone pulled off a side street and I had to slam the brakes. Now, the good side of BMW brakes is that you can pretty much stop and avoid hitting people in front of you.. The downside is that people behind you can't stop in time.. Steph's Altima doesn't have ABS.. So she slid and slammed right into me. I heard the screeching behind me and I knew she was going to hit me so I planted my foot on the brake. My car barely moved when she hit me... The bumper did a great job of absorbing the impact. We pulled over, made sure each other was ok.. I need a new bumper. It's loose, scratched.. Some paint fell off. I'm glad it wasn't that bad and we were both ok. It was my first accident!

Maybe it is better that you park your car and not drive for a while.
![]() Crappy luck. I'm surprised that her 2001 Altima doesn't have ABS. Did she manage to slow down very much before hitting you? The damage might be more than you know. That bumper cover could be hiding quite a bit. Also, is Steph hot?

EDIT: Steph is very pretty. She's 4'11 though. She makes up for her height with one of the strongest, fieriest personalities I've ever experienced!

Glad you guys are OK. Bad streak this week, huh. Well at least you'll get it all out of the way at once.
How did the Altima hold up?

Hey CJ - haven't heard from you for a while - don't be such a stranger! Sorry to hear about you most recent mishaps - hope you don't have a serious back problem. You may want to get that checked out too.
Did you say this is your first accident? I seem to recall you running over a little girl a couple of years ago, no?

I've been hearing plenty rear-ending jokes all day! The foliage is beautiful around here.. I'll try to take some pics this weekend and post them.

Well, I don't count that as an accident, running the girl over. It happened in a parking lot and it was because the X5 (apparently) slipped out of park and rolled.
