Well it happened again two days ago. I was ran into again.
This time it happened on a pretty busy four lane street. Was in the right lane coming up to a right turn on a side street. Older farmer man in a beat up Dodge Ram, in front of me apparently missed the right turn he wanted, jammed on his brakes, and starting backing up quickly to make the turn (on a main busy road). I laid on my horn but to no avail. Sat there and watched in horror as he slammed the front of my new Nissan Murano with 3k miles on it. Smashed the front pretty good, including the LED headlight assembly. Cars behind me were tight so could not back up myself. Didn't do any damage to his farm truck. No injuries to myself, wife or him. Now let the body shop estimates begin.
About two years ago while sitting at a stop sign in a rural area, a pick up (another Dodge Ram) pulling an overloaded hay trailer, I guess couldn't stop in time, and slammed into the rear of my 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium. 7 grand in repairs and I was on my way again.
About a year before that, driving down an expressway in light traffic, I passed a car that was in the right lane, I was in the middle lane. As I slowly got around her, (she was in my blind spot) I heard a loud bang and strong impact. She slowed and exited and I followed her into a parking lot. Apparently she was distracted (texting?) And ran the left front of her Accord, into the right rear of my 2009 Avalanche LTZ. Several thousands in repairs and I was back in business again.
I'm just a magnet for idiot's. ALL of these accidents were TOTALLY preventable, with the last one being the stupidest of all.
Really just venting now... sorry!
Seriously looking for a beater vehicle now. Don't know what else to do!
