Man, that really sucks. I had an 80 yaer old woman pull out in front of me after waiting for me to get close enough to hit her. She totaled my 240 and pissed me off. It's good you're alright and atleast you have another 7 to put the engine in. Best of luck to you and may she rest in peace.

p.s. ANYONE over 50 should have a mandatory driving skills test every year to make sure they are still physically and mentally capable to operate a vehical,

a second driving test should be required at age 65, then once again every two years.

I think I'm giong to be sick. Too late. Sorry about that. I had to go clean my screen off. I hate it for you. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. I had just bought a brand new (30 thousand doller) crewcab Dodge truck, and a guy pulled out in front of me. I had 600 miles on it. Makes you sick. Glad you guys are ok.

Old people... I'm one of the first to jump on the mandatory or limited driving privlage for elders. But I know I'd be that old MF raising hell about it when it came my time... DAMN whipper snappers!!!

The more I see wrecked 7's the more it makes me see how well built the chassis is. Glad you's guys are okay, and if you don't get a fair settlement on your car, *ahem* you know where he lives...

Seriously, I'm tempted to say "You got lucky, glad it worked out in the end" but this is hitting to close to home. I can't act like a lounge rat to my first gen brothers.

Dude, I feel for you.
