Folks.

Tonight, Friday, driving on in city on Ashland near Montrose, I got broadsided by a car coming from a side street. The "scenic" bushes in the median blocked the view of my car! I pulled to inside lane, but it was too late. I was lucky I didn't hit a parked car.

Guy didn't run off and we exchanged info and filed a police report. He was in a 85 Cavalier and his car was beat up already, and it had it's light off, too.

I am OK, but my car is smashed in the two drivers side doors. I can't open them, and I have to climb over the console. The B pillar looks bent,

I will get it looked at by State Farm and see what will happen. I can't say if it is totaled, but it looks worse than the damage to Dan P's car!

I will try to get e pics of it and post.

TOM

Damn sorry to hear that man. Glad to hear that you're OK though. What time did it happen, I just got back from the lake about an hour ago.

It was at 8:30 last night, and lucky the cr stopped fine, ntot hitting a pole, parked car, or person.

I got two witness's names and #'s, too.

I'm worried the B (center) piller is bent and would be too $$$ to fix.

If totaled, I may get a cheaper car for a year, like a 97 Zetec Tour? Or, my cousin has his old Sentra SE-R just sitting and I have dibs on it.

Yeah that is what matters, you can replace a car.

On a lighter note, get a older Zetec MTX and trade with me.

If totaled I'll try a few things:

1. Cousin's husband still has his '91 Sentra SE-R 5 sp., may sell to me.
2. May go back to a 96-7 Tour with the seats I like and keep through winter, then get a Mazda 6 in spring.

The cars' B post is bent on the bottom, don't know how much it will cost. Casr took a hit and I have no back pains, so I swear by these car's structures!

I go in for estimates Monday, for now I have a Grand Prix rental. No, not the GT, the SE with the 3400 V6.
