    Bad Day for my L

    I was crusing down Macarthur just past the 4 Season's Hotel when I saw a maroon Chevy Silverado pulling into my lane. To stop from hitting him i slamed on my brakes and swerved to the right, well i ended up hitting a foot and a half rain drain messing the whole front end of my truck up. The Front passenger side spring popped off making it look like I have air bags on my truck. It cracked my new chrome wheels I just bought from boosted32v (aka. henry), messed up the front quarter, poped off my battery tray, etc. Plus it had been out of Terry's shop for not even a week so I didn't get a chance to run it at the track. The front passenger panel was so messed up that I couldn't tell any more damage until it gets in the shop. Luckly my buddy's uncle restores and repairs classic and muscle cars, so it will get fixed quick and done right. It just sucks seeing your truck on a flat bed. What makes it worse is the guy in the silverado didn't even stop and the cops couldn't find him, so my insurance has to pick it up. DAMN!

    My brother wrecked his rx8 the other day and I could barely stand to watch him watch his baby leave on a towtruck, scariest moment of my life by the way. But I don't think i'll be able to handle watching "Jenna the Sonic Blue Lightning" leave without me at the wheel. Best of luck, and hope she's running soon.

    Btw..was it an SS chevy, maybe he was running for a good reason, afraid of you. I've seen a red SS and a Blue SS in carrollton.

    Important lesson in driving.

    A) Don't be in a tight or blind spot.
    B) Hit the sumbitch instead of the ditch. Otherwise it is all your fault $$ accident.
    Sorry it happened, hope they make it right.

    Tough luck...

    That really sucks.

    Apparently, you were not hurt, so that's a good thing. It's always easy to fix the steel, it just ain't necessarily any cheaper. Hope the bastage who caused it gets his. Similar thing happened to my wife two years ago. Difference was she nailed the dummass in the drivers door, so he stuck around, then tried to claim she ran into his lane. Fortunately, a good Samaritan stuck around to "testify".

    Hope the repairs go well.

    Mike
