Top of the line engine, beautiful car...T-Boned by a hit-and-run driver...knodking me out, in Missouri City, Texas.
That car prolly saved my life, so I'm driving a big Ol' Buick Roadmaster now.
knodking=hey, I like that word.
I feel your pain, my friend! I was driving to campus in 2000 in my Merc, physics midterm IIRC, and some oblivious woman on a cell phone made a last-moment, oops-I-missed-my-turn-I-think-I'll-make-it-now turn and rammed into the front of my car, destroying every piece of hardware I'd ever installed in that car.
I spent the entire summer before that semester doing a complete overhaul of the suspension and steering systems, and to think she drove away in her Plymouth Breeze. No insurance, suspended driver's license, and she gets to drive away. There oughta be a law!
