Default Got hit today

Thank God it was in my Altima. I came pretty close to taking out the C4 as the temps/sun made it tempting this morning. It is however being taken out tomorrow.

Anyway, some putz from Jersey(no offence) were driving in opposite directions and he decided to take a left hand turn right in front of me. I laid a 50' patch trying to stop in time with out much sucess. I ripped his rear bumper cover clean off his car. He ended up with the ticket and it looks like my Altima will be getting a new nose and front quarter.




More importantly nobody was hurt.
