The Jetta is no more :(

[1.8Trip]

Hi Guys,

I haven't posted in while, but I thought I would post a farewell as the Jetta has been written off.

It happened about amonth ago while driving into work. I was travelling eastbound on Crowchild and pulled off the off-ramp to go NB on Shaganappi. I went through the first set of lights on my green and before I could even think "oh sh@@" an old lady driving her grand kids to school popped out in front of me. I ended T boning her. Both my airbags went off. Luckily everyone walked away unharmed.





Note the direction I am facing and the sign. Lol.

I was able to pull a few things off the car before the insurance company took over it. I put them up for sale in the classifed section:

I ended up buying this out of NJ:



Cheers.

Re: The Jetta is no more :(

I was heading EB on Crowchild and wanted to go NB on Shag. I went through the first set of lights and a lady in a Dodge Stratus ran a red. I ended up t-boning her. The good thing was, no was hurt. I now swear by those airbags! I think they saved my life. I was doing 60 or 70 and I came to a dead stop within 5 metres or so.

Ryan, I'm in RR still. You? I think I've seen your S4 around. I should come by sometime and check it out.

Thanks for worrying guys. I'm gonna miss this board.

Congrats on the move. Yeah, they are going to close RR for safety reasons when Stoney gets built. They don't want ramp merges so close to intersections. So, only 12mile coulee and Country Hills will be accesses.
