I am! It could have been worse.
This happened less than 3 hours ago - 5-5:30 PM EST as I was traveling to the gym to work out. Needless to say I didn't make it to the gym. I was stopped in a line of traffic when I heard and felt - SCREECH - BANG!
The car is (was) a 1993 Saturn SL1 - that's right, 10 years old - one owner - me. Almost feels like losing an old friend.
I'm pretty sure the insurance company will total it due to it's age and value... Luckily I seem to be OK - we'll see how I am in the morning...
The 18 yr old driver who hit my car was driving a "lifted" (jacked up suspension) Chevy 1500 full size pickup truck. My car was drivable - at least enough to get home - his wasn't. Tore up the front suspension and the front wheels were pointing in different directions... Had to be towed away. At least he had the presence of mind to turn the wheel before impact otherwise I'd probably be in the hospital - he was moving at a pretty good clip.
What a fun night!
