Default I just got hit!
As I'm making a left turn across a 4 lane highway, I was railed by another car on the driver side front fender. I think it's repairable, but we'll see how much damage there is to the front suspension. This sucks bad..............

Sorry to hear that, not to make you anymore upset but I would have the frame checked out also...When the car Is fixed have someone drive behind you to make sure It's straight. Best of luck & I hope the person that hit you Is gonna pay for It

Man. What is going on? I cannot believe all the wreck posts lately.
Bad karma or something. Be careful out there. Good luck with your repairs.

It's the "Season." The Edmond Fitzgerald, Season of the Witch, ETC. Please, Everyone be extra "safe" at least 'till we get the "holidaze" behind us.

It's definately the season when everyone is in a rush. "holidaze" is a really good term for it.

Yes, I believe so. I am very suprised how well the vette held up though, the other car was totalled. It looks like my Z was a brick and the other car folded in half. Thanks for the support!
