Unhappy 21 December 2011-A Day of Infamy!!

I am numb! My Fit was hit today...a driver in a Cadillac DTS sedan blew through an intersection & broadsided me at speed, and never stopped! Both side curtain & seat airbags deployed. Initially, I thought I could change the flat and drive the 1/2 block to my driveway. Upon removing the tire, I found out otherwise. Damages: Trashed left front fender/headlight, wheel and tire ( the wheel has a 3" hole on the inner side & the tire has one in the sidewall. The CV joint is broken and out of the transaxle, the front strut is bent and the control arm is broken as well. The front edge of the driver's door is impacted, side skirt is hanging loose. Front bumper cover broken, left fog light protruding. Amazingly, the Fit's crash protection came through again, as I am for the most part unhurt. I may be sore tomorrow, though. The insurance agent has told me that there is a strong possibility that it will be a total! 64,864 trouble free miles!!

Very sorry to hear this Atlanta is definitely a dangerous city to drive in. When I have to go to the airport or head south I breathe a sigh of relief when I'm back out of ATL.

Lol me and Blackbeard were thinking the same thing.

Sorry to hear about your wreck dude. Glad your ok though. People just don't care anymore. They think they are the only ones on the road and if you don't get out their way then too bad.
