So i recently (January 15th) bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty: $8500. 37,000 miles.









And exactly one week later, rolled and totaled it on the way home from school/bar afterwards. Owned. I suck.











Landed on the drivers side. No seatbelt. Not a scratch or a bruise either. If I was wearing my seatbelt, i probably would have at least broken my collar bone. Insurance valued the car at $2000 more then what i paid for it, too.

Drunk?

Won't lie. Fell asleep. Woke up, realized i was on the wrong side of the road (rural back roads) hit the brake and jerked the wheel too hard, obviously.

noob

pretty much. i didnt even get any kind of life changing disfiguration from the whole thing. Im a little disappointed.

Women drivers

way to be original with that one

Well if you were driving on the wrong side of the road, it could have been worse. Your pretty lucky.

Ouch, what a mess... that fucking sucks. Well, you're apparently handling it with a sense of humor. College stress can makes a person pretty stress-stupid at times.

were you jerking something else too?

Yeah, congrats on the 2k extra insurance value. Also, congrats on having that reduced when you pay excess, plus the hassle of not having a car, having to search the used market again for another vehicle, and paying increased insurance premiums for making an at-fault claim.

looks like it handled the tumble pretty well. I suppose jeeps are serious business.

that doesnt look totalled at all.

i'd have to concur. based on the pics it looks like nothing more than body damage which is a lot cheaper to fix than something that's structural. then again, if you rolled it i wouldnt be suprised if a lot of the structure is totally fuct.

what was the reason for it being totalled? isn't it if the cost of repair is greater than the value of the car means it's totalled? what was the estimate on repair? even though you think you made a cool 2k on the whole thing chances are insurance is having the last laugh. your current provider will up your rates, since you were at cause, but not enough so that you can get cheaper insurance elswhere.

god job on fucking up on something that was entirely avoidable from the very beginning. it's i life lesson. i've been there. done that. if you're smart you won't do it again.

That's her 4th Jeep totalled.

Oh way to jump to conclusions as you always seem to have to be a douche bag about doing, Lawl. I still have my old car, which is now back on the road. I already have 2 or 3 vehicles picked out, and my insurance just dropped radically so whatever amount it does go up will be very close to what I had been paying anyways. Get off your high throne.

The guy who towed it from the scene said something about because the roof was 'crumpled' in the front (above the windshield in the first damage picture) that was an expensive bitch to repair.

When the appraiser called me yesterday to tell me the car was totaled i said 'i figured.' and he replied with, 'yeah, it was REALLY messed up' and i said 'i honestly didn't think it looked that bad'
Not my job, I don't know. The last picture, the part where's it damaged in the back, the back door hatch wouldnt open. But also, the airbags didnt go off, and i heard someone say those are a grand a piece *not sure of this* to reinstall.

insurance company probably figured that there's too many american cars sitting on parking lots waiting for someone to care about buying them to worry about fixing one.

It's a pity you didn't get hurt. You would have deserved it. Next time you're in an accident while drunk driving, I hope you end up in a wheelchair.

Dayom!

Glad you're OK.

I knew a guy who rolled and trashed FIVE different cars (including one Jeep) because he fell asleep at the wheel. He didn't get hurt in any of them...and obviously never learned a fucking thing.

Grudge is on to something.
