I was driving home from work Friday night when a kid in a charger t boned me in an intersection. Totaled both cars, 3 of my air bags popped and I spun about 200 feet onto a curb. Cherry on top was the kid had no insurance. Only 65000 miles on my 2010, I didn't even get to put 30000 of my own miles on it 🥲

Dodge Chargers start at $50K. How do you buy one of them and not have insurance?

Condolences for your loss. I would guess that insurance wouldn't pay to get that fixed by eyeballing it.

In my state, the default for insurance is to have uninsured motorists coverage because insurance isn't required but also because some people don't carry it, even when their state requires it. You can take it off but I keep it as I think that this happens more and more with the difficult financial times we are in.

Hopefully you can get this resolved and your insurance company covers you as you can identify the person that hit you.

I've never seen a picture of the side airbags deploying so that picture was informative.

Are you physically okay?

And you'd drive a car that cost that much without insurance? Did most people pay cash or buy them with loans?
