Default Sad day

Sad day for me last night as I couldn't move out of the way at 65 mph and plowed into a crossmemeber that had fallen off a car(who is no where to be found). Apparently a few other cars had hit it before me and after. I saw the car in front of me hit it I tried to steer clear but with traffic I couldn't. I hit it head on blowing out my front driver side tire and putting a 7 inch gash on the side of my drivers side right below the door. I dragged it about 1 block on the hwy while it was hooked on the hole it had made from the impact. It pulled out the plastic guards on the bottom of my car too.

WORST PART(thats right it gets worst). I had just switched my insurance to liability due to winter in MN. So I'm sh|T out of luck. I only took the car that day to go help another friend out as he had a flat tire on another HWY. He drives an M3 and did not have a spare & I was picking up my brother-in-law's spare for him. GAWD! I'm pissed, why don't people pick up their sh|t then their POS car falls apart while on the HWY.

Well my little brother is out right now replacing the tire up front and they will inspect it for further damage while its on the lift. GEEZ!

Umm, if you haven't reported the accident, you should have changed it over, then reported it the next day.

Plus, I also like to think I have a little self-esteem and personal responsibility. I don't go trying to get everybody else to pay for my problems. If you choose not to have insurance coverage and get the benefits from the money saved, then you deal with the consequences too.
