So I accidentally ran over a center Median curb the other day at a decent speed .... here are a few pics of the damage .... no quote yet but theres murmurs of the word "totaling"

You may ask yourself; "how the hell did this guy run over the median" well I was house sitting for a friend and very unfamiliar with the area and while making a left turn on an awkwardly non-90 Degree turn i cut the corner a bit quickly and due to it being super dark and poor visibility the median just jumped out at me!

To add insult to injury once the tow truck came (the flat bed) the driver didn't screw in the tow hitch enough and while he was leveling the bed with my car already in place it came loose and ROLLED OFF THE FLATBED with it being about 2 feet off the ground and my back tires slammed into the ground and the undercarriage in the back was caught on the lip of the flat bed

now I have a case with AAA for the Rear half of the vehicle and a case for the front half with USAA (my ins) and a good 3-4 weeks at least before i get my baby back :(

I bet if he put wings on it he could get passed all that L.A. traffic! Last edited by bkndacn; 12-04-2011 at 09:19 AM.
