My friend Kyle just ran his lancer into the back of a 1990's era ford explorer yesterday. Here's whats left of his little econobox.
The explorer apparently drove away from the accident along with the 19 year old girl driving it without a scratch.
OUCH.. hope your friend heals quickly.
When i first got out of the USN, i purchased a new Hyundai (all i could afford and go to school). I hit a volvo (slid on some black ice after a school bus changed lanes and put out its stop sign/lights) at 1 - 1.5 mph... $4000 damage to my car... scratched her blinker
Growing up we had an International Harvester Crew Truck, the precursor to the SUV. One day my mother was drivcing us home from school a guy ran through a stop sign in a Datsun 510. Getting out of "The Beast" as we called it we had noted this little piece of tin was wrapped around the front bumper. The Datsun was totaled, and all "The Beast" needed was a few hours work to the front quarter pannel.
Sometimes while driving on the LA Freeways I wish I had that thing to deal with some of the butt drivers we have. One of these days I'm gonna pull the breaker on the override circuit protector switch on my butt driver self preservation protection system and let it fly. Just wish I had one of those IH Trucks to do it with.
