My wife hit a tree in my '98 vert. That thing came apart like a box of matches, but the cockpit was completely intact and she was fine (except the airbag knocked her out cold). Anyway, that's why I got his one now. It's all mine and she doesn't like to drive it.

well to broaden my first comment, i meant to say i hate SOME semi-drivers. most of them are actually cool. i like to let them over when other doushe bags wont so i can see their light flash, thanking me. but the ones i hate are the ones that wont let me in when trying to get over or the ones that tailgate me with their brights on when im already going like 10 over. i didnt mean to offend you, in fact i have great respect for you guys.. o know i wouldnt be able to travel across country hauling random loads to stores...

Good you're okay, it looks pretty bad. But hey, at least you can recover the tag cover since that seems to be the only thing left in tact! You didn't happen to be on a radio and posing as 'Candy Cane' and 'Rusty Nail' find you right?!

Glad you're okay, bummer about the car, but as already mentioned, the car can be replaced while you can't.

Yeah, unfortunately it is mine Dennis. It happened a little over two weeks ago. I'm just thankful that I was able to walk away from it. I won't be at work until after the new year, so I'll pm you my cell number.
