Thats right, box caprices are build like for Knox! They take a hell of a hit! My collar bone did too, sadly as far as im concerned IM in better shape than the car. the words F*&(ING C@&T came out of my mouth when my left turn on a green light turned into a right turn...
She must have been going 60mph+ when she hit me. I will get some pictures up tomorrow when I see the car, if I can stomach looking at it.
BTW theres nothing like hearing your pride and joy, your one investment you've ever made, a car that means more to you than anything else you own be destroyed.
According to everyone I'm lucky to walk away, honestly I just wish my car would drive me home

Funny you should say that because NH drivers here have overtaken the prior #1 WORST drivers eva....young girls! 8 out of 10 times now, after encountering an ahole they're wearing a NH plate. Now the speed & weaving thing is the most common, but they also like the...no way your getting into my lane in front of me...move.
You know what they say.... If they're in front of you holding up your progress, theyre aholes If they go by you like your standing still, they're maniacs (not MAINEeeacs)
Hijack complete........waiting on pics
