Default worst x-mas gift ever

This was the worst year ever, let me show you why
the day before x-mas




I was driving home at 3 pm at a intersection I had the light green and some lady who by the way had two little kids in the back,who was going to cross ran the red light in her car. I was going 45mph I was unable to stop when I saw her instead of me T-boning her I pull to the right I went up the sidewalk and took out a tree. I know you guys are wondering how it happened I cant explain it but let me show you in ms paint.


thats just one, 2 days ago I driving home from my friends house it was like 10pm when out of nowhere a dog ran across the road and I just saw it like 10 feet from my front bumper I was going 70mph I hit the dog, I hit the brake pedal the dog bounced off my car into the other lane where a truck ran over the dog. I stopedd got out and I saw that my turnsignal light was craked my bumper was cracked my fenders looked all wavy after a few badwords I got on my car when I was driving I notice that one of the front wheel was making a squeaky sound I knew that I had messed up the bearing in the wheel hub.


all my front end needs to be replaced exept the hood which only suffered paint damage.





2005 was a bad year for me maybe 2006 will be better
I was thinking of fixing both the cars and selling them I am in the process of buying a 88 camaro z28 5.7 so I can move around.

Try not to let it bring you down man. I had a horrible beginning to last year as well but it turned out to be a really good year. I know it's easier said than done, but keep your head up.

That sucks, but it looks like it could be fixed. One of the guys in my F-body car club got hit broadside by an SUV going 45 and running the red light. This was the middle of Dec. He lived but the car (2000 T/A) is toast.

Dude, these things happen in 3's. If you have another car, take the bus!

Good to hear you're alright. Did you get screwed in the first accident or was it considered her fault?
