Got lucky today.

[86SILVERADO]

Well the glazed brake shoes didn't matter because I didn't even have time to apply them. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I was about fifty feet from this guy when he pulled out. I had been traveling down the road (straight as an arrow for about a mile in each direction) I saw this blazer sitting on the side street. I was about fifty feet away from it when he pulled out VERY slowly in front of me. I turned into the oncoming lane thinking he would stop but he just kept on coming. I was so close to him that he actually drove right into the side of my fender as I was passing him. Oh, did I mention he was 92. Fortunately everyone was alright. The guy wouldn't even say anything to me and his wife was sitting there saying she was sorry etc. I can imagine he got an earful later on, poor guy. My first accident in 15 years of driving. Not bad and it certainly could have been worse. No frame or steering linkage damage at all. The rim is toast. Whole front clip except for the hood is gone as well as the passenger door. Perfect timing too since I am getting two or three calls a day now to go look at jobs. Only other good news is we have the same insurance provider.
