The day couldn't suck much worse--wrinkled the '69
To put it as succinctly as possible, I was driving halfway across the county in commute traffic for jury duty.
Traffic stopped and I jumped on the binders. The ol' Chevy started to come around and before I could gather it up, the feller in the next lane got me. Certainly not his fault, I was using all of my lane and part of his and had him pinched down pretty good between me and the median barrier. It pretty much tore up my left front fender, ruined the bumper and outer grille & head light bezel, knocked the head light bucket out of the core support, & probably bent the core support. My driver's door isn't closing right, so I hope I didn't wreck any of the underpinnings. His van had some minor sheet metal damage to the right front fender and a flat right front tire. The really good news is, nobody got hurt. Both vehicles were driven from the accident. (after roadside assist changed his tire) I'm done whining now. I think I'll go outside and pull my bumper & outer grille and see if I can get the headlight half a$$ed reinstalled. Oh, yeah, the county was nice enough to reschedule my jury duty to Thursday.
