It's happened again!!!!!

[VW Convert]

Some of you may recall back in December someone in a Toyota lost control, hit another Toyota that then T boned my beloved Jetta whilst I was sitting minding my own business waiting at a set of traffic lights.

Today, at the same set of traffic lights (about 500 metres from home) an idiot in a BMW did a u turn in front of me causing me to hit the brakes as hard as I could. I missed the BMW by a coat of paint but the near new Lexus behind me slammed into the back of the Jetta very, very hard.

The damage looks minor, but close inspection reveals the gaps between the rear doors and the body are closed up on one side and opened up on the other so it seems that it is in fact pretty bad. The Lexus is a real mess.

I can't believe my bad luck, and what is it with Toyotas (Lexus being in a sense a Toyota) always wanting to beat up on my Jetta?

OMG you are so unlucky George.

I`d push for a write off and get a new car.

At least you weren`t injured.

That's horrible mate, sorry to hear about that. Perhaps you could use this as a sign to get a new VW? And that your current car could just be cursed..

Do you have any pictures of the accident?

My stepdaughter took a couple of pics with her phone, as soon as I get them I'll post them. On Monday I'll go to the smash shop and get some proper pics.....have to borrow a camera because I left mine in the back of a taxi in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and I'm waiting for the insurance company to replace it!

Just thought, I'm happy that I hadn't yet forked out for the extended warranty, if it's a write off I may have done my dough!

Yes, most important thing is no one was injured, although my neck is a bit sore and will get it checked out. I'm definitely thinking if there is a chance I will push to have the car written off even though I'm so very happy with this car and it will be a sad thing if it is written off. I guess it all depends on what the repair quote is.

Sucks, glad you're ok. Perhaps it's God's way of telling you to get a GTI or R32..

Hope you did.

Sorry to hear George, hopefully not too much downtime for you and the Jetta.
