Sad day for ShakyDog

Lucy and I lost new Black Betty yesterday,

The X3 will be missed and replaced. Have not had her long enough to even make a payment. I am hoping they total her as I am not sure I want to keep an air bag deployed BMW as the value goes in the tolet.

Line of cars in left lane, someone leaves a hole, someone turns left without being able to see if I am there. 40 MPH to 0 in 2'. BMW turns self off, turns on hazards, and then BMW Assist calls. Never had an accident of this magnatude before and it left me a bit shaken. I am just so very gald it was not my Z4. Not sure I could take that so close to the last disaster in my life.

I took pictures with my cell phone, but it just does not show very well, black car in bright sunlight.

I am good, thanks to Betty,

Steve

Both Insurance companies want me to bend over and fix it for $12,000 and eat the depreciation cost of owning a BMW with deployed air bags.

I really dislike Insurance companies! I called mine and told them treat me like a 3rd grader and explain how this is supposed to work, because it is not working right now.
