    I was cruising home today from seeing my boy Conner (Still in the hospital, he's and "eye hostage"!) and school was just getting out. I was watching the kids cause their crazy here and run out in front of people all the time. So I was watchin them and the guy in front of me was doing the same, well the group of kids in front of his car ran out. The kids I was watching stayed. So I look forward only to see tailights. BAM head to the wheel. The end result of my car:

    I hit a Bonneville. Well I kinda slid under it. Didnt do jack to his car luckily.

    No one was hurt in the making of this picture. Well maybe my face. I slammed the wheel pretty hard starting at my nose and ending up at the top of my forehead. No airbags luckily too. And I was wearing my belt. Didnt lock up till after the accident.

    Sorry for the ****py picture. It was from my cell.

    Yeah they do. It was so funny the dude i hit was all *****in about his car might now be able to drive, But it barely looked like it had been hit at ALL!!! the tow driver laughed and told him that he was just going to spray paint his car and not replace anything.

    My wife ran her chopped 49 Merc into the back of a City Light truck yesterday. It had a 2 foot step on the hitch , so the guys could climb in easily. Fit perfect in the Merc grill! Put a new master cylinder on today!.....OLDBEET

    I didn't get a pic of the school van, one of my kids was riding in on a field trip today...some attentive girl backed out at them full speed in a parking garage, Tboned the van (in reverse!) right where my kid was sitting, no injuries fortunately.

    Ouch! Sorry to hear about it.

    I was going over to look at a junkyard in Selma on Thursday; some guy clipped me doing around 60-65 mph when he drifted into my lane. All it did was to knock back his folding mirror on the p***. side, and left a couple of small silver paint streaks on my left front bumper.


    Scary :eek: , but fortunately no real damage at all.

    That ****ing ****s... At least no one was hurt, mostly. I have had the turn to see nothing but taillights thing happen to me twice (actually twice in a 3 month period, out of 15 years of driving)... unfortunately the first time was me in a saturn *** packing a f350. I ended up putting his trailer hitch through my radiator and ****ing up the motor when it hit that... came through the hood because he was so high and my car dove when I layed on the breaks. Luckily that was one of the few times I have benn wearing a seat belt. Anyway, any accident you can walk away from...

    They paid off my loan for it and gave me a kickback for like 800 bucks. but they keep the car. If i were to take it they would only pay half of what I owe.
