So I was getting off the highway at the Mid Rivers Mall exit today and some old guy in a Saturn L-series sideswiped me. There is two turns lanes I was in one he was in the other.

How the hell does a Saturn, which is plastic, do this to a Dakota, which is steel? Its worse then it looks, too. The fender is severely ****ed up on the lower half. My truck's body was perfect. GRRR!

Is the radiator support bent? If not, its not as bad as it looks!

No I don't think the rad support is bent at all. Not that I could tell. He ****ed up my alignment though, its pulling to the right hardcore now. And I drove around all day today listening to that stupid plastic fender flare rubbing on the tire because I don't have any tools with which to remove it right now (they are all in my Eclipse which is about an hour from here).

Well hopefully it just bent the tie rod, or made the tie rod jump a few threads, or shift the upper control arm mounts... cause the only other option is that the frame is bent, which would definately mean its worse than it looks. But as far as body damage, a bumper, headlight bezel, and fender and flare is all it needs! You can find those parts in a junkyard for dirt cheap.

You guys dont even know...twice in a row I've seen 2 crazy drivers today already..all in a matter of like a minute. The first was one of those people that think stops signs are there just for show cause this douche started pulling on in front of me after NOT STOPPING at the STOP sign, so I floored it so he couldnt and I stopped right in front of him and yelled to him that thats a STOP sign where you STOP. Then the second was some lady in her van that decided it was okay to pass in the turning lane and flew passed me and 2 other cars. Sadly, I only got to call her plate in. lol
