Yesterday I drove the 90 miles to Tucson to purchase some coral and a beautiful flame angelfish. On the way back, when I reached the town of Sierra Vista with the top down and 87F, feeling fine. I took off from the light and just as I was about through the intersection, my wife screamed, "He's not stopping". A silver 04 Ram 1500 4x4 came flying from the right-no braking. I was hit by him at 35-40, according to the cops. If I didn't have my seatbelt on, I would've been ejected from the car. My wife got her right elbow crunched and I got my ribs and left arm beat up pretty bad. Since the engine of the Ram was shoved into the firewall, I'm assuming it's toast, as well. Turns out a 16 or 17 y/o kid took his dad's truck for a spin while he was out of town. Now my Beautiful little car is probably on it's way to salvage yard h@ll. At first he said he had the green light, but eventually told the truth when 3 witnesses on the sidewalk called b@llspit.

Yeah, we're pretty sore. My neck is hurting pretty bad today, as well. I guess it was the sideways whiplash. I had just filled the tank of gas, too. When I go to get my stuff out of it tomorrow, I'm going to siphon the gas out. I sold the 03 Neon to my son, so I'm gonna be driving the 98 Ram for a while.

I'll have to get them tomorrow. The wreck was at 6:00 pm and I got out of the hospital at 11:30 pm. The wrecking yard doesn't open until tomorrow-that's when I'm going to get my stuff out of it.

Glad your ok.
Wonder how cool the kid felt after that happened. Probably picking up all kinds of ass with a smashed up truck...
