Bummer about your car! If it is the one in your avatar it is very sharp.
Sorry about the car but great you seem to be okay!

If it gets totaled, make sure the frame is okay then buy it back from the insurance company pennies on the dollar.
This car comes apart in panels and you can probably source everything and put it back together.
Suspension work in general isn't that complicated.
Glad you're okay.

I’m sorry to hear about that, I read it early this morning and didn’t reply.
Just got back home, driving in my neighborhood on main road, a Mercedes is stopped at stop sign but just pulls out making a left, I swerved left and hit brakes as another car was coming, the Mercedes barely missed me, they were at a stop sign and just go without looking while making a left and almost hit 2 cars!
Obviously they were not paying attention because not only did they not see my red corvette headed south, they failed to see the Toyota going north.
Also after I went people behind me were hesitant to go and Mercedes’ driver just sitting out on southbound lane not knowing what to was holding up traffic, I guess they must have been confused.
I didn’t have time to honk horn.
Earlier this week I almost got hit by someone making a violent lane change into my lane without looking, again slammed on brakes and swerved barely missing them when they stopped and realized there is a car in that lane.
There are more and more idiots on roads than ever.
