Thanks guys. Steering wheel airbag went off but not the side bags for some reason. Pretty much a textbook front overlap, the car did it's job and i was able to walk from it (tho i don't remember that lol) one of the reasons I got the car was because of the good crash ratings.

I dunno, I really liked it a lot but it got pretty lovely mpg for a four cylinder tbh. I guess it's gonna depend on how much money I end up with after I sue her rear end, a new bare bones Civic like Adiabatic got sounds nice. Without the oil leaks of course.....Or I could always go Miata since that's never the wrong Answer :v:

What sucks is I just put new TRD suspension on it, new tires, transmission service yadda yadda. Not gonna make that back with the payoff i don't think but maybe I'll get lucky.

When I got hit i was rocking out full blast to Dokken, and when I went to get my stuff out of the car today and turned the key to get the CD out of the player it started playing right where it left off before i got nailed and it triggered me big time, like took me back to right before it happened. I'm probably gonna have a hard time driving for a bit whenever i get back in a car.

IPS was life changing for me. I had to upgrade because new mid-high GPUs are almost exclusively Dport and HDMI, and all my old poo poo was DVI. I figured "why not get something nice if you have to buy new?"

You can get decent 1080 IPS panels for under $200 these days, I think I got my pair for $160/ea.

Yeah, don't have the money to do that yet; some DP to DVI adapters were easier for now. :shrug: I'd rather do a single wide 4k monitor at that point.

I'll upgrade the monitors after I upgrade the main guts of the PC. Still rocking an overclocked Sandy Bridge i7, which is plenty functional, but showing its age a bit.

I got "I'm so sorry, I ran the red light!" After my big accident, makes settling up pretty easy.

The disconnect with reality after going through that poo poo is nuts though, like some sort of drug trip for awhile.

Glad you're okay, glad your family wasn't with you, good luck with the settlement, and don't forget you're obligated to buy something from the Craigslist Gold thread since you're an AI poster.

The main road by me was shut last night for 90 minutes due to someone threatening to jump. I made the mistake of reading the comments (I know, I know) on the local news about it, there's maybe 3 comments asking about mental health provisioning, a couple more neutral contents and the rest are either saying he should have been pushed by the police or fined or shot. gently caress this country.

That face is "YOU CAN SHUT THE gently caress U--oh god i've made a mistake here" in visual form.

Really, though, regardless of him mouthing off the other guy shouldn't have jumped him. It's basically legally indefensible, and I'm going to guess this dude is the type to push other people but then cry to the cops after getting pushed back.

Ehh, you start poo poo with someone much bigger than you, it tends to go that way. "Oh, but that's illegal/morally wrong/not nice!" Doesn't matter, reality gives precisely no fucks. There's always someone bigger and nastier than you, and if you go around mouthing off at everyone and being aggressive almost to the point of parody, you absolutely, 100%, will get your poo poo pushed in at some point.

It's very much one for the "what exactly did you expect to happen?" files.
