Had an accident yesterday :cry:

Nope! It wasn't the J series! "Just" my old 323.

I hit a jeepney while crossing San Andres St. along the South Super Highway (going to Quirino). I wasn't able to see him as he was at the end of the ones crossing along San Andres and a truck was blocking my view. I slammed on the brakes but it didn't bite (due to faded brake pads probably).

No one was injured (thank God for that) and I was wearing a seatbelt.

The damage to the car was pretty nasty... the grille was smashed, the bumper was distorted, the hood was crumpled and both the left and right front body panels were a bit out of shape. Both headlight were intact but the right one's mirror was smashed and the jeep's paint marks were all over it. Miraculously, both the fog lamps survived (15K rin yun!). The radiator's upper part was pushed to the engine block and the coolant is leaking too. The power steering fluid spilled too. I just couldn't determine if the engine oil spilled, I'm thinking that the brownish liquid that spilled was just the power steering fluid as it wasn't "oily" when I touched it.

The engine is still working and I was able to drive on and off a flatbed truck (from Prudential Guarantee).

The damage to the jeep costed only P1,200. They just had to repair the long stainless stepboard that I damaged. The body of the jeep where I got hit just had its paint scrapped off!!! Tigas sobra nung kaha!!!

So I went alone with the tow truck to the Pier to have a Police Report filed. The Officer hinted on "expiditing" the papers, so I agreed on that (nauna pa ako sa dalawang mas nauna sa akin... hehehe...). And besides, medyo kabado na ako. He also mentioned on he ticketing me for the accident, and he just said that to avoid the hassle I should just pay him right then and there (hmmmmmmmm...).

After the accident the car was bought in a Car Service Center in Makati.

The funny thing was that this morning, I confirmed that the Insurer of the Car was not Prudential Guarantee (it was a year ago). The company just changed their insurer this year.
