got hit thank good i took the sentra to work and not my 92 formula, got struck by an e250 van with 4 mexicans, [driver arrested suspended license, van impounded at least it had insurance but nobody else had a license] hit the rt fender of my car and put me into the guard rail thats not how i wanted to start my day, complete driverside is toast from hitting the guard rail, i am sill in shock how much and far the guard rail moved from the hit
as for me i am sore and i have a sprained wrist and a muscle pull in my shoulder, could have been much worse, sure i am going to be sore tomorrow, just what i wanted to happen before going on vacation next week,
looks like i will be lookinfg for another comutter car, get the same car to put all the new parts onto it,

Damn dude, I saw what looked like a pretty nasty accident today but it was low speed/local roads. I can't even imagine being put into the guard rail.
Glad to hear you're only a little sore, things could've turned out much worse

van stoped was on 2 wheels almost rolled over, i am just sore and pissed, just fixed the shifter with new parts from the dealer, fixed the check engine light to get the car inspected then i got wacked had an appointment for today, guess i missed it,

the car is a tolal due to age and milage but it only has 104k miles on it but i did find 1 other sentra that is cheep $700 and its black, and a nice looking one but its an auto for $2500 but its green

Ted you have the worst luck on the parkway. I remember you got pulled over for I think 87 in a 65. Now this, and then you sold that convertible 92 firebird to that kid and he smashed the front end.

wow i am sore today, time to take some pain meds maybe get some sleep, well thats one less car in the driveway, not the way i wanted to make room but i guess it works,
just trying to keep good spirits, the sore pain will go away in time just needs a couple days of rest,
i went back to the accident scene and look at the guard rail is about 30 feet of rail and its moved about a foot on the first hit and at the second hit is moved about 4 inches for about 10 feet, i wish i could remember how fast i was going when i hit,
