I was sitting at a light this morning behind a Porsche Carerra. The light turns green, and the Porsche stalls out (second) My foot was off the brake, and a Mercedes SUV hits me from behind.

Get out, no damage except for a small scuff on the bumper which should buff out. We exchanged info, a cop showed up, <$500 damage means no police report.

I told her I'd try to get the scuff out tonight and give her a call if I can't.

Thing is, now my neck is starting to hurt a bit, so now I gotta go get checked out :(
 
yea man get your neck checked out asap. But other than that sounds like there was no real damage. I love the porsche stalling out part, that is hilarious.
 
[font=&quot]Damn..sorry to hear that man. Stupid Mercedes drivers.
Definitely get the neck checked out. Got rear-ended a long time ago, and still have damage to the spine.
Hope everything works out OK![/font]

Dude I have polish that will do the job.
Let me know if you need it
Sorry to here you neck hurts, I would go get it check most likely you just have a mild case of whiplash. Take a heat pad put in on. Or have a good neck message done.

Glad your not hurt and hope it buffs out, I got rear ended a couple months ago, had the bumper painted 3 times (spicy orange) still not right but acceptable. Not an easy color to match even with paint codes. I hope if I get hit again, it's totaled.

Good Luck!
 
Dude that sucks!!! Hope you're alright man! Get that neck checked out ASAP! IM me online dude! Haven't seen you seen you online in a while!

Got Rims?
i do. Tell your friends.
 
Sorry to hear about that man. Doesn't sound like the damage is too bad though, hope your neck is ok. Gotta love it when people buy a porsche and don't know how to drive stick.

hope everything works out for you Justin. Get yourself checked out just for piece of mind...I have rubbing compound here as well that works great. If you need some let me know you can come by and we can see what can be done. l8r
 
Porsche driver must have been a total idiot and just dumped the clutch. Oh well, whaddaya expect in Jersey?!? j/k

I love the Mercedes driver going by the light instead of what the car in front of her was doing...must have been on her cell phone. Total idiot!

Take care of yourself man...and being an EMT I'm sure you'll take it easy for a while.
 
What do you know, a lady driving an SUV rear-ending somebody at a light.(dark) Yet another reason there should be an extra little test for people that drive SUV's. I've been rear ended by 3 of them.(protest)
 
Hey jersey, sorry to hear about your accident dude be glad your car isnt sitting at a dealership like mine. Just found out the trans is on backorder.
 
Just got back from the ER, x-rays were fine. Just a bit of whiplash, nothing a few narcotic painkillers and muscle relaxants can't fix ;)

Now because I'm gonna have a hospital bill, I gotta call my insurance company and see what they say.
 
Painkillers!!!!

I tore my abdominal wall, and they gave me the same stuff. That was about 3 weeks ago. Sorry about the accident bro, but if you take them painkillers, take it easy on the amount. I don't remember the day after my accident, I think I was only awake for about 45 minutes.
 
Jersey:

You should be able to submit your bills to her insurance carrier. They will make you sign a waiver and take a statement from you about the accident. A rear end collision is never the fault of the impacted driver, so they will gladly pay your medical bill, you should get an estimate on the damage just to be safe.

Don't turn it in to your carrier. Its not your fault. Good luck.
 
Well, I'm still required to report it to my carrier (which I did). Since I was rear ended while I was stopped, the accident is obviously 100% the other driver's fault, so it's her insurance that will be paying my medical bills. And my insurance won't go up any, because my carrier doesn't have to pay a dime.
 
Sorry to hear about your neck, hope you get better. I would go to your local body shop and get the car checked out, just incase.

The Mercedes driver's insurance should pay your medical bills.

Glad to hear you checked out OK!
