RE: Bummer!
ORIGINAL: Professor Wizard
Heading out for lunch - this bitch pulled out quick, in heavy traffic, making a left hand turn from a parking lot to my right... RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
There was no where for me to swerve to with traffic on both sides of me.. and not enough room to stop!
WAM!
I smacked her right in the drivers side rear wheel.
GOOD thing I was in my Explorer (it is supposed to storm this afternoon, so I left the stang at home!)
Broke my grill, mashed my bumper flat and boogered up my fender wells where the bumper bent into them.
The cop gave the girl a ticket for "Failure to Yield" and "Improper Registration"...

Sorry to hear about the professor. Been a while since I've seen you. I went to the same car show I saw you at off hwy-55 and was hoping to see you there this year. We should meet up sometime and take the torch's out.

RE: Bummer!
Sounds like your damage was minor but its a bitch going through the bother. Glad you are ok and that you weren't in the Mustang. I hate looking at damaged Mustangs... gives me nightmares.
