Rear ended an Econo van.

it started snowing the night before and i was getting around great in my explorer, until the next morning at work i was coming back from a delivery and he stopped for a pedestrian; i was headed downhill taking it easy about 15mph and when he stopped i was already on a patch of ice. Needless to say he still sat there even after she had crossed and i smashed into the back of him.

Got to play in the snow first, with the new lights i put on. was a fun day.

Then The next day i got in the accident, 4 days after putting my new lights on.

Hey I think you broke your 4 day old lights? Just saying lol


Well at least that is all the damage it did. I was thinking worse when I read the thread title.

 

[Cbyersh37]

And now its mostly fixed, going tomorrow to get a grille guard and going to install new lights again... lol

 

[Paraphoe]

That was quick.

 

[Cbyersh37]

Its been about a week since the accident, i just haven't put all the pictures up till now.

 

[Paraphoe]

Gotcha. Looks good. Can you take the BFH to that last bump or is something underneath preventing it?

 

[1AJeremyD]

Glad to hear it wasn't a terrible one! Could have been a lot worse for both of ya if you were moving any quicker

Really glad your Ex is fine. Like someone else said, I was thinking alot worse, and I hate seeing member's pride and joys hurt. Just curious though, how was the Econo van?

 

[Cbyersh37]

The vans bumper was toast, he took more damage than i did... lol and the back door was dented a little.

 

[Varsity]

Ouch. Good to hear that he didn't drive away with nothing and you a busted grill, bumper etc, especially when it sounds like he should take SOME blame. But it's ice, what are you gonna do. Like I said, glad the Ex made it.

 

[Cbyersh37]

Nothing can keep an explorer down too long... $100 bucks and i'm basically new again. and another $100 for a new grille Guard.

 

[Cbyersh37]

New lights added today.
