I was on my way to pick up my friend and take her to work earlier. I was in the right lane and turned around to look for a split second to see if the middle lane was clear. I looked back ahead, and a 90's Nissan Pathfinder was stopped in the road in front of me. I didn't even have time to hit the brakes, and I smashed into the back of her. I went up underneath her, which I think was my saving grace.
The damage includes: Grill, hood, right front fender, and both headlights. Somehow I didn't knock the top off the radiator, which is also a very lucky break. Unfortunatly, I can't pop the hood to check for any further damage (IMRC, UIM, or any of the other things that are on top there.
Phoenix has a law in place for these kinds of things, where the driver in back is automatically at fault. I'm not even gonna fight that, I guess I'll just take the hit on it.
Now for the really bad. Ever since I got rid of the 240SX, I have been fighting with American Family insurance. They keep sending me bills for the 240SX, even though I switched the policy over to the Cougar. They have no record that it was ever switched. So since I have been saying "I'm not paying insurance on a car I don't have.", they have cancelled my policy. I've been fighting those morons about this for weeks, but they won't do anything. So now this leaves me without insurance, and an "At fault" accident. I have no cash saved up to replace any of the parts that are damaged. Also, I'm most likely gonna have to pay for the other driver's damages, which is pretty much none.
