I'm usually more active on Brad's site, but it's down and I had to share/vent.
Saturday I was out for a drive around town, nice day, I was taking it easy. I was in the left lane approaching an intersection, nice bright green lights staring at me from overhead. All of a sudden I see a crappy blue Escort coming in from the right side, in front of me. Lock up the breaks (Don't know why no ABS. but I left tire marks) and end up nailing her right between the drivers side doors. She spins out and ends up stuck on the median to the left, I end up facing her in the lane she was in. Witnesses all around, all saying she ran the red light. I got lots of comments about how that sucks it was such a nice looking car. I almost stayed home to paint the brackets on my MRT hood strut kit, then install it. Kinda wish I had now.
I'm waiting for the appraiser to look at it today or tomorrow, and make a determination. I don't know if the front rails got bent, but all the other front metal is hurt, including having the front left quarter pushed back into the drivers door. I had to climb out of the passenger side.
I kinda hope they don't total it, because I love Sonic Blue, and don't like vVB that much. But if I have to take a brand new car, I guess I can figure some way to live with it. Just hope I can get my mods off of the old car and put them back on the new one.
Here are the pics I took yesterday.
