BAD,BAD Day!!!
Well I need to get this out in the open because it's killing me. I was on my way to the Eckler's 25th annual reunion when disaster struck!!! I was on I-95 heading north just past Atlantic Ave(for those familiar with the area). Now how the state decides to turn a 5 lane hwy into a three lane hwy in less than 500ft is totally puzzuling. I was on the far left lane when at the same time BOTH left lanes need to merge into the remaining three lanes!!!! 
The car in front of the guy in front of me hits the brakes hard, the guy in front of me locks up his brakes, I hit the brakes, skid and this happens..... 
It was either his truck or the wall(not much of a choice).
Thankfully my dad(who was going with me) and myself are ok. There goes the weekend, the car show, about 3k in damage, and a $104 dollar ticket.......
Thanks for allowing me to vent......

Sorry to hear what happened to your car. Good news is that both of you are fine. I had a truck on I95 dumping rocks just south of Melbourne and got rock chips on the hood and windshield this morning on my way to Ecklers. Makes mine look like a little problem after seeing your. Good luck in the repairs.
