well, last night here in NY was an icy one. and it seemed to carry over into this morning. but with midterms coming up, my school really didnt want to close school.
so like every day, i drive to school down this curvey, sort of narrow, road.
im taking it easy, not crawling along, but not speeding. i come up to this part which is a down hill, hard right hand curve.
over the curve i see a acura SUV. i figure it was backing out of a driveway or something, but its not moving and i start to brake.
well its a sheet of ice, and shes not moving. i jam on the clutch and the brakes, but its too late, im fucked. i turn the wheel right to try to avoid t boning this car and getting in a head on collision.
my car fishtails, and i tail whip her with my rear drivers side tire. the bounce off her car faced me down hill, but there was another car trying to pass her that the time. so to avoid that car, i turn hard right again. i end up driving up into a lot of snow, and large rocks, and then finally get down the hill and stop in a driveway.
i get out of my car, look at the damage, and flip a shit. im really pissed. i start walking towards the car but there is no one in it...
a guy comes out of the house that i stopped at and i go "where is the owner?"
he goes "oh, shes inside. i'll go get her..."
the man then starts accusing my of going to fast, he "heard" me. it was most likely the sound of me hitting the rev limiter because when i jammed on the brake, i hit the gas hard as well. i tell him "unless you can show me a radar gun of me speeding, stop accusing me..."
so the women comes out and goes "well i couldnt move the car and i didnt want to get hit, so i took my kids and left the car"
then a guy comes, stops, looks at the car and asks if he can get it out of the way... she says you can try. two turns later and no slipping, her car is down the road and parked in a driveway.
so my father comes. we exchange information, and all that jazz
now it should be 100% her fault, since she left her car obstructing the road, and instead of walking up the road to stop traffic, she went inside someones house. and the two people that lived in the house also stayed inside. this easily could have been avoided.
my car is pretty banged up. most of the damage is on one panel, the read fender, but the tire is angled in towards the car, probably snapped the axel or something.
I love this car, its my baby. 2004 audi a4 1.8t. thankfully it will be cleaned up nicely though
her car after i hit it. it moved back a couple of feet after i hit it
