What can make a grown man want to cry?
Not sure where to put this please move it if it’s in the wrong place.
I’m not sure how bad this would have been in my dodge Caravan but I think that the personal damage to me would have been worse. I actually walked away with no major injuries although tonight I’m feeling a little stiff and sore.
All started on my way home from work last night. I was in the left lane on a 4 lane street and had a friend from work behind me on his way home also. I passed this car in the right lane that seemed to be slowing down for some reason and then about a ΒΌ mile down the road the next thing I know I’m getting run into in the rear. I also heard a car engine revving and in the meantime I was pushed into the back of a cargo van then spun 90 deg in the center of the road. After the cars broke away the other car shot across the right lane and ran off the road into the grass. My friend who was behind me said that the guy who we passed came up from behind him in the right lane and then cut him off in the left lane. When he hit his brakes to avoid hitting him, the other car seemed to hit the gas then ran into me. He said he never saw the brake lights on the guy’s car go on until he hit the grass.
When I figured everything out and got out to look at the car all I could say was “my car my beautiful F’ing car”. I’m still waiting for the police report to see if the guy was drunk or if he had a heart attack. I saw the guy out walking around his car but he never came by to talk to any of the other drivers (there was a van and another car in front of the van that were involved also). The paramedics that arrived on the scene convinced me to take an ambulance to the hospital but when the first ambulance pulled up one of the other paramedics said they needed it for the other guy because he was having chest pains. I told the paramedic to bring the guy over to me and I’ll take care of all his pains for him!
As everyone keeps telling me I should be glad I was not seriously hurt but I can’t seem to take any consolation in that. I know I’ll never get what this car was worth and now need to start looking for another Cutlass.
I had 2 more weeks before I was going to store it for the winter and now will have to tear it down for parts. I’ll be listing the parts as soon as I can but I can say for sure the rims are ok and 3 of the tires are also ok. I just bought the rims and tires this July so the really don’t have any miles on them. Anyone looking for parts off an 87 Cutlass Salon let me know.
Sorry for rambling on here but I’m just so pissed right now!!
