RE: Don't cry....

["Cooke, MichaelX" <michaelx.cooke@intel.com>]

I was doing about 40mph and an older guy (70-something) in a '86 Nissan POS
started to make a right hand turn in front of me.  He turn enough to be out
of my way, so I proceeded past him..

BUT..he decided to change his right hand turn into a U-turn!  He circled
around and hit my rear passenger's side panel.  The roads were wet and the
GLX spun a full 360, then an additional 180!   It finally stopped when the
car hit a high curb (causing the bent wheel damage).  Then, my GLX jumped
the curb and slammed into a guard rail that protected me from a 60ft drop.

It was a sad day.....  Everything was his fault, though.  The cops ticketed
him for the illegal U-Turn and his insurance company took care of all
expenses.  That happened back in March.  I had owned the car for just 2
months.

The GLX has since been reborn and is better than ever.  I'll put up some new
pictures this weekend.  I just wanted to share my heartache with you guys.

That's pretty much my car to a T.

What did you do?  How'd the wheels get all bent to hell?
