Bad saturday

So this past Saturday I was getting ready to paint my garage door and was going to get some paint, well while i was out i figured i would go and get the tires balanced on the 7. From the pics below I should have stayed at home.









stupid women pulled out right in front of me, at first she was like oh i did not see you but once the cops showed up she changed her story to i was speeding. Interesting since i just pulled out from the Firestone place like oh no more than 300 yards away.

it was all her fault she got the ticket for failure to yield to the right of way and something else. the cop told me to make sure i go to court or the judge will let her go if there is no one to testify against her. I am going to the body shop tomorrow to see how bad the frame is since i really did not feel like opening the hood to see then.

Did they consider your car totaled? I just wrecked my 83 gsl last Monday and the other guy's insurance (which was his fault) said because the car was totaled they had to keep my car. Which sucks something awful I just put a comeplete rb exshaust and a lot of work into it. At least the Friday before I had just bought a 85 gsl-se well I get to start all over again . Just for the recored I know how you feel I hate stupid drivers.
