and as with any set back the best cure is to get back on the horse and find that car that is perfect for you!

Glad you made it out of that ok

Wife wasn't with me

Boy oh boy...I was so angry and freaked out I was shaking...

There was a moment when I really thought I was going to hit him...but if I would have hit him once...I probably would not have stopped...but then I would have been in jail
