So yesterday I badly bent a rim and got a flat tire... Tonight I get rear-ended!
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!
