Bye Bye Baby

[maca]

Long story short - my car was written off this morning.

Coming down to the Toowong roundabout from Miskin St, I slowed down to a stop behing a Lexus RX when a dump truck slammed into me from behind. It basically became a Golf with a squashed nose.

I'm fine (fine enough to come to uni), and I'll post pics when I get home.

Damn, that sucks mate.
Hopefully you can salvage the denver's off it and try to sell the stereo.

Gives you a chance to look for a new car though
TDI Golfwagon


Glad you are okay though.

Ouch!!! Sorry to hear about the car, but good to hear you are ok. Cars can be replaced, people can't. Seems to be lots of carnage on the road atm. Take care everyone over the easter break.

[Swallowtail]

Sorry for your loss mate

[funkamedic]

Crap! that's bad news Maca! Hope your Easter break gets better from here on!

I'm going to take a slightly different tact here and say CONGRATULATIONS! It's GREAT NEWS to hear that you're fine after being in a crash that wrote off your car. The fact you're completely unscathed is simply testament to the fact VW build cars that are extremely safe. And it seems that in this instance, it's done exactly what it was meant to do, and that is to PROTECT YOU!

So I see this as a very good news post. Sure it's inconvenient to not have a car for a while, but you're alive and un-hurt, so congrats. Yeah we all fall in love with our cars but where one love affair ends, a new one is waiting to begin. Have a great weekend!

Shame to hear the cars gone mate, but so glad your well. As Rocket said, goes to show how safe VWs are made and I know for a fact that if you were in a different not so well made (korian) car, you would not be posting this right now....
