Ya just never think it will happen to you, but sure enough it does. I just got back from the emergency room and I seem OK for the most part. Two black eyes, a broken nose and my knee that just had surgery is messed up, but it could have been much worse. The car on the other hand will obviously never be the same even if it can be fixed. So much for my pride in having all original metal on my car. I know you guys will be almost as sick as I am which is why I came to vent right away. Some idiot just ran a red light at 60+ and clocked me into a total 180 spin. Lucky the cops showed up so quick or they might have needed a body bag for him as well.

Well that's it for now, stay tuned tomorrow for the picture show, don't eat before you watch though. I'm gonna go finish my double scotch and put the ice on my face.

Wow Pak!

I'm glad you're ok, but that just really sucks. It makes me afraid to drive my car....

Hang in there! Maybe something good will come out of all of this...

HEY, sorry to hear the bad news. It seems unreal, especially at 60mph. I'm sure everyone is glad you made it out and we will be pulling for you.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh Pak, I'm so, so sorry.

I feel terrible for you. Hell, I feel pretty bad for me too. I never got to ride in that car, and yet I feel as though I had part of myself invested in it. I can't even imagine how you must feel.

Enough about the car, you doin' ok? A couple shiners and a messed up nose ain't any fun. The worst part is having to walk around with a huge "go ahead, ask me what the F happend" sign on your face. Heheh, ask how I know. It has to be adding insult to injury (literally) that you have to deal with that knee again.

Keep that bruised chin up brother, and know there's another soul out there wishing good things for you.

Damn Pak, I am really sorry to hear of this. Sorry about loosing the car, but at least you are Ok (somewhat). Start compiling your evidence now so when the insurance company tries to low ball the initial offer you can immediately counter.

Life is hard to replace.
Cars are easy to replace.

Get well, get settle, get it fixed or replaced.

This time next year you will be talking all about how much better/nicer your mustang is now.

Glad to hear you're in one piece. There's one thing that motorheads understand, the general population doesn't, and that's the intensity of the pain, and depth of the anger when that chunk of steel and plastic gets damaged... oh man....

Good god man, I can't imagine...

Is there any legal action that can be taken in that kind of situation? I'd want to go after the other guy as much as I'd want the insurance money...

I'm glad you weren't killed or anything. From your description it sounds as though you were very lucky. Remember that problems can continue to show up over time. It is a real likelihood that you could have some back or neck problems as a result as well. Don't let go of it and hold this guy responsible for all of it!

I'm also really sad to hear about the car. I hope you enjoy the replacement process. Have a good time with it.

Good luck and keep us updated!
