    Angry Rear Ended

    Well I've been waiting a bit to post this...
    I had to get over the wreck...
    I was stopping for a traffic light and was hit from behind by a small chevy pick-up truck...
    A witness said he was "ACCELERATING" to try and go around me and through the light....
    He was also "ON" perscription drugs....
    I'm hoping the Marauder's not totaled...but the inmpact was so severe that it broke the back of my drivers seat to the rear...
    The little truck lifted the Marauder up into the air, putting enough stress on the top surface to put a small kink in the roof....
    I thought it was strange that the airbags did not deploy.
    The truck was definitely totalled...
    The truck had been lowered so that it went under the Marauder...
    may have ben a good thing...damage seems to stop short of rear window and it never reached the rear axle or any drive train components...
    Insurance adjuster has not contacted me yet....
    Oh, I think I'm OK...got neck x-rays yesterday and most of the soreness is gone...
    I'll try to let y'all know what happens....
    Y'all take care...

    Yeah, sorry to hear about your accident! Glad to hear you will be ok! On Saturday almost got t-boned by an old lady who while making right turn decided her lane wasn't enough and wanted mine too!! All this without a look prior to making the turn. As you know--"Some people!!!".

    Talking Things look'n up...

    Well... talked to the adjuster a little while ago....
    approx. $8,000.00 worth of damage...
    Appears no damage to drive train...
    My insurance co. Met Life will go after the guy who ran into me...but we don't know if he has insurance or not...
    I'm going to meet with the body shop guys at my Linclon Mercury dealer tomorrow... to discuss repairs... maybe I can get a decent repair job...
    Oh...Sid...yes the Megs were left just sticking straight out the back with nothing much left above them...but they are pretty scratched up...
    Y'all take care,
