My S needs a band-aid :(
So today started out as a pretty good day. I woke up at decent time and got ready for work and actually left my house at a good time to get to work. Well, i was about 3 minutes away from work and disaster struck.. the only 2 accidents ive ever had were within 20 feet apart.
Ok so this is what happened, i was heading towards Lowe's on Millertown pike by the Food City and Exxon and there were 3 cars lined up in the turning lane to turn left onto Love's creek. Anyways there was a lady in a 08 green altima that was going East bound on Millertown Pike and she decided to turn into Food city at the intersection. She jumped across the intersection and i was left with nowhere to go except into her. I tried my best to steer out of the way to keep from t-boning her. Anyways on with the pics.
btw, sorry if my grammar isnt the best, i'm a little intoxicated.

yea I'm glad im ok.
A few things I noticed today while i was looking at it was that the steering wheel is turn completely to the left and the front wheels are both pointed straight as the pictures show, which means there is even more suspension damage than whats obviously shown in the pictures
The air bags, suprisingly, did not come out. They are both intact and if you notice from the pictures, the accident just barely missed the air bag sensors by a couple of inches.
One of the main things i was worried about with the accident is when i put the top up, it went all the way forward but i had to fight with it to get it to latch, i dont know if there is some major damage on the car or if it just shifted the top a little.
The insurance companies are really cooperating as well, which makes my life easier. They have already set me up for a rental and having an adjuster head out to where the car is stored to get estimates and start on the car asap.
