Yes...It`s true...
On Thursday of last week,The wifes GL10 wannabe was hit in the right front by a Jaguar doing more than 40 mph. I was taking my son to school and as I was pulling into the school(right turn) the car behind me was turning left . The Jag did`nt want to wait for the left turning car and thought he could whip around it in the gutter. He did`nt know(or care) that I was in front turning right. By the time I saw him it was too late.
Contact began mid-way through the pass door and took out the door,fender,right knuckle,rack-n-pinion,alloy wheell,lowercontrol arm,and strut......
My wife and son were not hurt badly.Wife has some pain in her back.Doctors say it`s pulled ligaments from tensing up and my son is terrified to get into another car (he`s 8)
$2500.00 damage to the car...$1400.00 total value.His insurance will let me keep the car and pay-out the $1400.00 but I`ll need to do the salvage title thing.
I`ve got all of the mechanical parts and a door but I`ll need a fender and maybe an "H" mag to mack it all correct.(see post in marketplace)
Thank the Lord and Mr. Fugi we survived as we did...5 seconds later and it would have been a direct "T"-bone.
Thanks,Ed......
P.S......I`ll try to get some pics posted soon......
