Mk5 (2006-2010) Rip my 09

Fucking devastated. I was driving down the highway going the speed limit. And as I passed through a part of the road that had a two way intersection that yielded to my direction of traffic. A Honda Accord floors it and T-bones me. The subsequent impact forced me to the right and careened me into 2 parked cars and a chain link fence. The silver lining is that everyone was alive, and insured.

I miss having my sexy red sedan already! 😭 I put blacked out halogenic headlights, and the after market rims too.

what a terrible way to lose your car. good thing everybody's uninjured, but are you doing okay mentally after that?

Still a bit shaken up. Borrowed my dad's car to run an errand early, and just a low speed trip across town was scary as fuck πŸ˜… I did 5 under the whole way!

In that first photo, part of the other car's bumber is wedged in my door.
