Got nailed by a honda civic tonight/early am

Before i talk about this, im not asking for sympathy or anything, just figured id share what happened late tonight.

So im in my z28, omw home from my bouncer job in north wildwood around 3:25 AM and i stop at the Dennisville Wawa (8mins from my house) i get some milk and 2 tastycake apple pies. i leave the wawa, theres nobody behind me whatsoever. as im driving down the straight piece of road, i see headlights in the distance, no biggie. then im like 1000 feet from the rt 47/347 traffic light and i have to make a left turn, so i signal (its a double line, no passing as well) i look in my rearview mirror and see headlights swerve to the left like they were going to pass me, so i audibly say f**kin jerk- before i could finish with the "off", they lost control and nailed my car on the rear driver side quarterpanel and bumper, kinda like a pit manuever. (approx 350am time of accident) I hear a sickening smash and next thing you know, im spinning out. put the clutch in, got on the brakes and countersteered but since they hit me so hard, it was past the point of no return so i cut it back the other way and kept my ride on the road. luckily there was no oncoming traffic bc i wouldve probably been hit head on.

i was going to call 911, but I saw that there was a volunteer fireman already there on the scene. he was on his way home, he actually witnessed the whole thing. he estimated the honda was going approx 90mph when they passed him. another car stopped, and then someone asked if i was drunk, im like "WTF!!!? NO! IM THE ONE THAT GOT HIT! Maybe you should ask the people in the honda that question!" im pretty sure those 2 girls were drinking before driving. i mean how do u lose control on a straight road? all of us walked away unscathed, i called my insurance company and gave them all the info. My car is banged up, but not bad enough where i couldnt drive it home. The hondas rear bumper fell off, it looked like forza 3 out there. Ill get pics later today in the daylight
