Looked like the Hundai had ran a stop sign and plowed the GA in the front driver quarter. The Hundai was still in pretty good condition, but the GAGT's A-pillar was completely smashed in and the roof was somewhat collapsed. I was a bit amazed that the so much damage could happen from a wreck in a 25mph zone. (If they were even going 25) So when I got home, I hopped on msn carpoint and looked up the GAGT. This is what I found! Nick Johnson nick@nejohnson.com 97' Contour Sport-Blackie 96' Contour SE -Wife's Car 87' Thunderbird TC - Retired (for now)
