Default Well.... she is wrecked again.....

Gooooood morning folks!

Well, ... I got hit by a Mack truck. No worries, she'll be fine. The door and front fender (yes again) has to be replaced but thats all. I will get some cell phone pics up soon. I was sitting in the right lane at a red light, the truck was just just behind me and to my left. He decided to turn wide and when he did.... took my door out with him. He didn't see me which is what I figured as I was stairing at a giant tire out of my window grinding into my car. Ironicly, yesterday I remembered that it had been a year since my last fender altercation.... weird...

Currently I can't open the door so I am Dukes of Hazarding it... which has already got old. Anyway, just thought I would bring my unneeded drama.. you know how that goes!

Sucks! Glad it is no worse than you describe, and glad you were not injured.

I'm sorry to hear that this happened.
I'm glad you're okay and that the car will be fine as well.

Thanks dorkmeister.. I'll get them up soon.

Matt, I don't think it winds up.. but probably drives like it does! I think they call them Kia Optimas here.
