Dude was southbound in right lane with his signal on slowing down. I looked right to check northbound traffic and rolled forward.

Shit, that looks pretty bad. I suppose you’re okay, though?
Also, at least your blinker fluid container is intact.

Thats how I got tboned in the work truck this summer. Are you okay? Im assuming from my experience that you got a citation, and Im sorry.

Got a pick of the other driver.
Seriously though, that sucks. Glad you aren’t seriously hurt.

shit happens to the best of us... what was the other guy driving?

No citation. Cop didn’t write it because the other guy had a signal on and no license.

I'm fine. Car is fucked though.

First generation Durango. Looks like the rear passenger door and quarter panel need fixed on his.

damn dude sorry to hear that. What’s the plan now?

Did two of those early in my driving career. With time, it all fades.

I know that’s Soul crushing & everything... Hopefully, you aren’t upside down on the loan if it’s financed.

Sheeeeit that sucks. Can’t trust turn signals! It is rare to see someone actually use them correctly. I love the people that put on the signal after they are already making a turn, serves a real purpose right?
Anyways, is your radiator and radiator support still good? No airbags go off right? If it is just that front grill, bumper, and hood it should not be that bad.

That’s what happens when you let a hamster drive a toaster

Sorry about your Soul! Hopefully it can be fixed. I learned that Soul parts are surprisingly cheap from the several accidents that I had with mine.

That sucks. :( I am glad you're okay, though.

Oh man, what a Soul-crushing experience.

Same thing happened to me in a Honda years ago. Did the airbags deploy?

Man, you got so lucky. The guy that hit me did exactly what you did and got a “failure to stop citation”. I had my signal on, about to turn into a parking lot.

Thing is that the only place within 1/2 mile to turn right is that road. No parking lots or anything.
Here’s the intersection:
And here’s the street view:
As you can see there’s nowhere to turn except Toal st.

The radiator was punctured and the core support looks bent. It shouldn’t be bad but we’re probably going to look at trading as soon as tax time happens.

Ahh yeah, that sounds like a reasonable course of action. You should find a Nissan Cube to replace it lol. Would be similar proportions and such but infinitely weird (which I find to be a good thing). And who wouldn’t want the Cube Pubes on the dash!

The problem is that our rental is a Jetta and my wife has VW fever. She loved her B6 Passat and New Beetle convertible but they were both unreliable pieces of garbage. So I’m afraid we may see a Jetta Sportswagen in our driveway soon.

I don’t think I could ever trust a VW lol. You could always look at the GLI though if you are set on VW. It is a sedan but that trunk is cavernous. Plus the car PULLS HARD. Ludicrous for a wrong wheel drive car!

She wants a wagon. We don’t have kids (yet) and we don’t haul stuff often enough to need one. Maybe I could talk her into a GTI...

That would be fun for sure! Just get a Golf R and rebadge it to a GTI. They look the same to the common masses lol.
