Default Thanks to a kid

I was on my way home on Sat evening around 7pm, sitting at a stop light, 2nd car back when an 18 year old desided to use my 04 as a stopping block. She didn't even hit the brakes...ouch..it mangled her 90 corolla. you can see some of the damage to my 04. hurt my shoulder and slightly bent my steering wheel.
The officer sited her for failure to stop and asked her what she was looking at.. she said " I don't know" ..again ouch.

So I've desided on new personilzed plates "STOP"
I'm just happy I wasn't in my 68. not that happy but happy

Well, that sucks... at least the damage was minimal and just to the bumper... so basically a new bumper and exhaust pipe and you're good to go.

yeah, doesn't look to bad. I didn't see any frame damage, but the shocks and towers are toast and a slightly bent steering wheel. few weeks and it'll be good as new i hope
