Groan.
I feel like I was in a car wreck.
Well, I was in a car wreck.

Idiot ran a red light yesterday and totalled my old Buick Roadmonster.

Got sore chests from the setbelts, and I lost some skin on top of my head where it hit the wheel.

How fast does a Honda Accord have to be speeding through a red light to hit a 4500 pound Roadmonster, spin it 180*, tear off everything in front of the wheels, and continue 100 feet down the street before comming to a stop?

I need to start this day with a drink.

Oh my goodness Swerv, are you ok? You didn't injure your shoulders any did you?

It's a good thing you weren't killed. Damn! I hope you and the car are repairable.

Drink, take pain pills, and thank your lucky stars that you are in casts.

Smooooooooooooooooooooooooooch. I'd give you a hug, but I'm sure it would hurt. :(

You're lucky to walk away, but I'll bet you feel all sorts of new aches and pains for the next few days.
Be careful!

Pretty fast.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Second thought, nix those speed guesses.
How old was the other driver?
If it was a kid, he was probably smarting off and topping his engine out thinking he was being cool.
Honda Accord tops out at 120 from the factory brand new.

Awww, Swervie. Too bad about your car, but at least you're alright...more or less. Have a couple of blue thingies and get to feeling better SOON!

*Smoochies*

Good Lord, swervie.... I'm so grateful that you're ok. The other car must have been traveling some kinda fast to have totaled your car. Those Roadmasters look like they could withstand a headon with a tank. I hope you are well lubricated by now with plans to remain so for the next 24 hrs. :) LOL.
