Default BAD Day...

I got broad sided today guys. My entire driver side doors going to have to get replaced as well as some of the inside frame got bent here and there. I was turning left into my school parking lot and this guy came out of nowhere, not even looking to his right and hit me! I'll never forget the sound of it...
heres a picture to show what happened

maybe the crash isn't hard enough to deploy the airbag. sometime I scare the airbag more than the actual crash.

we should merge these threads. like how the digital photography page has a month by month thread on pics people took. we should have a month by month thread on damage. like "January 2008 damage report" hahahahha

Sugar Land and I go to Clements High School. I'll either be going to UH or UTSA and just go under the cap program next year.

Car goes out tomorrow to the dealership and I don't think any major part of the structure was damaged...you know the part right when you open the door, its has all your tire information, well that part got dinged up a bit and I have NO idea how they're going to take care of that.
