You ever have a really productive day and decide to treat yourself to a pizza and a beer and on the way home you think the turn around is further away and you hit a pole smack dab right in the center of your car and launch it 4 feet in the air. Well next time, I'm ordering in.

The front end looks like I went up a drive way to quickly, but everything underneath the car got full contact with a 15 foot 6 inch diameter pole down the entire length of the car. The radiator is about 6 inches further back then where it should be. So everthing between there and the engine is destroyed. There is a big gapping hole in the oil pan. And I am pretty sure the ENTIRE suspension system is shot. Oh and only one tire is blown out. I just went shopping for new ones yesterday too. Good thing I didn't buy any.

But no use crying over spilled milk. This will be a good chance to see how Esurance handles thier claims. Oh and I think I am ok personally and physically. The adrenaline is wearing off and my back hurts a bit. We'll see how I feel in the morning I guess.

Any one ever deal with esurance by the way???

That sucks, sorry to hear. Good your OK.

Im kinda confused by this turnaround/15ft pole and how you managed to hit one. Got any damage pics?

No. I ussually take my camera with me everywhere too. I'll take some pics tmrw. BAsically I am damn idiot and wasn't watching what I was doing. I looked over at the place I wanted to go to, started to merge and thought it was longer than it was for the turn lane. I'll take pics. It will make more sence. But again, I'm a dumb ass.
