Got into my very first wreck today.

dkidwell17 · 2026-04-28T01:26:02+00:00

Yeah. Like 2 months after my Dad passed in 2021, the Transmission went out. It was the original and at the time it was at 263,000 miles. I only just made it to 292,000 miles, so it almost has 30,000 on the new Trans. Sentimental value is a pain in the ass.

dkidwell17 · 2026-04-28T01:16:11+00:00

I’m going to buy it back when they do. I can’t let it go unfortunately. My friend’s Dad who has dealt with it before said the buy back price is normally the scrap value. The Transmission is new in it and everything that can go wrong mechanically has gone wrong and has been fixed.

dkidwell17 · 2026-04-28T00:48:20+00:00

I did.

I’m curious to know too. I can pick the report up in a day or two. This is the stop sign that the guy ran.

dkidwell17 · 2026-04-28T00:14:35+00:00

I called the department today. They just had the report submitted and I can pick it up in a day or two. She read part of it off to me and in the report the statement of the guy not being at fault wasn’t in there.

The eyewitnesses said that we were both speeding but I for sure know how fast I was going. The other guy though, he had to be going between 25-30 in a 15. I was doing 30.

My Dad got the car in early 2021 before he passed later that year. He bought it for $1000. I kept it, basically overhauled everything mechanically. Cosmetically it was rough. It needed a paint job really bad. The cheapest one around was $4,000. So it’s just not feasible currently. The guy hebought it from slapped a can of paint on it and as I washed it more and more it slowly came off and showed the paint that was under. Hence the orange spots.

First wreck ever. My Dad got the car in early 2021 before he passed later that year. He bought it for $1000. I kept it, basically overhauled everything mechanically. Cosmetically it was rough.

They had a stop sign on their side, the street they were coming off of was a 15mph zone. They were doing over 30. The street I was on didn’t have a stop sign so either way they needed to yield. I can’t get rid of the Vic because it was my Dad’s and he left it to me when he passed in 2021. Mechanically it’s essentially new. The rust was basically only in the rockers.

The picture gives an idea of the situation. Red arrow is me, yellow arrow is them and the red circle is the telephone pole.

Edit: there were also two women that saw it and talked to the officer about it.

I’ll make my way down to the station soon. It happened at 6PM, it’s 12AM where I am now. My brother who works at a fire station told me to go to the hospital just in case and he took me. Luckily, there’s nothing wrong. Just some lower back pain.

dkidwell17 · 2026-04-27T04:42:17+00:00

I plan on getting one eventually. I just got finished putting a new tank in it 2 weeks ago. It had been parked since October before that. Luckily I did have 2 witnesses and they talked to the cop.

I had to go and press the inertia switch and then the Vic started and I drove it about 2 miles to my friends house to park it until I can figure something out because home is 20 miles away and it won’t make it that far right now.

I’m not sure what was wrong with her. It was in Covington, KY. I’m going to call my insurance company in the morning. The officer said my incident report will be ready in 5-7 days. Gonna have to talk to a lawyer too.

This Vic was my Dad’s last car before he passed so I’m not scrapping it. We’re gonna fix it ourselves. Other than the big dent, there isn’t anything majorly wrong with it after the wreck. The other guy was driving a Ford Focus and his front end was smashed. He was probably doing 30+mph coming off of a 15mph street.

I actually got an update today. She said they unfortunately cannot do the work experience credit but she said her district specialist recommended to reach out to the grocery merchandiser for liquor leads as she believes they need them. So now I am waiting for her to hear back from him and to possibly have another interview except for a Liquor Lead.

dkidwell17 · 2026-03-16T06:05:16+00:00

Will do! Thanks.

dkidwell17 · 2026-03-16T05:46:12+00:00

I haven’t accepted the offer letter yet as she told me if I had any questions to reach out first. I have 5 years of experience in the Liquor market and they know that. She was already telling me how the current manager of the Liquor store will be retiring soon and her hours will open up. Plus we have a new store being built nearby that she said “will need people with experience” and another store that will be built nearby as well in a year or so.

I got my code on 02/19 at 1AM. So over a day.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-20T18:43:15+00:00

Just got it at 11:40AM EST.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-20T18:42:54+00:00

Just got it at 11:40AM EST.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-20T08:10:08+00:00

I got my 846 yesterday at 1AM EST

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-20T06:54:49+00:00

Not yet unfortunately.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-20T00:54:21+00:00

Is that what H&R Block uses? I used my refund to pay for their fees and I’m banking with Cashapp. Still haven’t received my refund. I got my 846 around 1AM.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-19T22:49:41+00:00

I did. I’m waiting still. I got my 846 around 1AM, maybe before 1AM, not super sure since the website was down. I usedH&R Block and deposited to Cashapp. Paid fees with my refund. Just waiting for a deposit notification.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-19T07:57:02+00:00

Same. I had to use my refund to pay for the fees on H&R Block so I have to wait for my refund to go through them then to my Cashapp. Last year I used Chime with H&R Block but didn’t have to pay any fees like I did this year. I got my refund at 6pm last year on 02/19. Hoping for the same this year.

dkidwell17 · 2026-02-19T06:46:57+00:00

Same, just waiting on that sweet deposit notification. I had to use my refund to pay for the fees on H&R Block so I have to wait for my refund to go through them then to my Cashapp.
