**** this. I got rear ended by a cop!! Some Asian **** decided her right turn only lane didn't apply, went straight illegally, and forced me to slam on my brakes since she merged at 15mph in a 35mph zone. I didn't hit the **** and eventually stopped 15 feet away from her. A police officer behind me was texting or something that took his attention and slammed into me at 40 or so mph.

God damnit. I've replaced the entire drivetrain plus a ton of interior shit. I'm fighting tooth and nail to not be totalled.

Oh, my neck and shoulder are all ****** up. Nerve issues too verified by my doc.

The Yukon drives perfectly and the frame damage is only where the hitch mounted.

OH NOOOOOOO! Shit man, that sucks. Good luck.

Man that blows. Especially after just putting so much time, money, and effort into it. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Awful thing to happen. Hope that you're able to recover quickly and that the tremendous work you've put into this project vehicle is not for naught.

Damn that is ****** up. Is there a reason you mentioned the person was Asian or did I miss something? Good thing everyone is alive and that the cop hit you because you know they have insurance.

Stereotypes exist at times for a reason. Even my Asian friends complain about the Asian drivers here. It's insane. I've been hit by one in broad daylight while walking in my neighborhood. Ive had to jump out of the way numerous times walking into my gym. The one that ultimately caused my accident played the poor English card until she knew the cops were going to ticket her. Then she tried to blame me. All on top of not acting like a human being to even see if the cop or I were seriously injured.

Yeah, I'm angry.

I had 2 estimates at $8200+ damage. The Yukon will be totalled. I don't have the energy to part it out so if someone wants to find a way of snagging it at the price the insurance values it, let me know.

PM or email Eric.c. [email protected] I'm in Northern VA 22030.
