Thanks @Foxtronix, @Molly, @Wide-lite 1000, @Rjluna2 and @Mandolin Girl. I hate this club, but I have no choice but to join it, since it recently happened to me. And I highly, HIGHLY agree that the guy was more than likely on his phone. I was getting ready to smack the dog food out of him if he failed to agree that he was in the wrong, but he agreed immediately. There was also no getting around it anyways, since the evidence was against him. (My car was literally smashed in between two cars, like the icing of an oreo cookie.) The other thing that kept me from getting violent... I was trying to get rid of that car. I needed it gone, for a more reliable, stable car... and well... it's gone. Forever. Now I can buy another *daily driving* car, and travel safely on the road again. The next stopping block is finding a good, reliable dealer that sells reliable used cars for cheap. Heh.

Welcome to the unfortunate club of car accident victims...  :-\

Yeah I'm part of it now too, since the beginning of 2020. Old lady ran the red light and T-boned me (on my side as a bonus). The impact was strong enough that the car I was driving skidded freaking SIDEWAYS for a solid 20ft and knocked down a traffic light. Side airbags deployed, so thankfully I got out of the car unharmed, not counting a few bruises. Personally I was pleasantly surprised not to have any injuries. No joke, my first thought was along the lines of "...hey I don't have anything!".

But my mom's reaction to the whole event was one of the most disturbing things I lived in my life so far. She was panicking and convinced I was seriously injured despite seeing me on my feet and A-OK. I just... I dunno... absorbed her distress. Not pleasant at all.

The weirdest fact about this is that my dad also had an accident at almost the same age as me and at the very same intersection.  :poof:

Anyway it's great to read you're OK, and really that's the most important thing.

Glad to hear your OK man !! It definitely could've been much worse !! A guy I worked with had the same thing happen except there were no cars in front of him . The impact knocked his car out into the intersection where he was him by 2 other cars ! He was a bit beat up but otherwise OK .

Unpacked and photographed all of my recent arrivals . For some reason , despite maving WAY different ETA's , Everything arrived at once !!  One of which was the remains of a 400w Wide-Lite F-series I bought as parts for 2 of the other 400w F-series' I bought a while back . It's already been disassembled , bagged & tagged Ready for donor service !  It had the remains of a GE H400-J1 Color Improved lamp inside . It looks to have had rather high hours on it .   PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING COMING SOON !

I was wondering, why do it seem that most LED 3 way bulbs I see are the snow cone, rather than glass envelope filament LED?

And I’ve noticed Dollar General sells the GE 30/70/100 equivalent LED where Publix had the 50/100/150 equivalent GE. Walmart sells Great Value branded 40/60/100 equivalent 3 way LED.

I believe Philips has some also but I haven’t come across any for sale yet.

I would like to see filament glass versions, and mogul base versions.

Glad you are okay! I remember being in a car crash in 2019 due to a collision with a drunk driver.

Believe me, suzukir122.  I have had an accident quite a few times.  So far, I haven't had any accident since early in the 1990s (knock on the wood).
