"(phone flys outta my sticky pad n disconnects from the cassette player) [crash crash bang bang (phone tumbling on the ground)" Me
"Vince you ok?? " Him
"****CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC K....." Me.

Ouch, what happened? That quarter panel damage does not look good. I had a dented quarter panel in my old GS and it was around $3k to fix. Luckily I didn't.
