Default R.I.P V6, 08-07-10

As the title says, my V6 has gone to that great Mustang heaven in the sky. I was on my way to work when I was clipped by a driver who blew past a stop sign. Hit my rear end of the passenger side and made my car tailspin into a parked jeep. I was lucky that I missed the light pole by a mere few inches. The impact made my head bounce off the steering wheel airbag as it deployed. I have an injury to my right hand as well. (Yes, that hand, lol. NOOOOO) Have to wait until monday for the police report to see how much coverage his insurance will give me for my car. Had my girlfriend take pictures of the damage, and let me tell you, it's not for the faint of heart:



















So yea, pretty ****ty morning to say the least. As I'm typing this I still feel the whiplash effects of the accident.

*updated pics*

Damn that friggin' sucks. You have more restraint than I do. I would have used whatever strength I had left to strangle that other driver..

Sorry for your loss. No can see pics either. I'd be devastated if someone hit my car.
