Well, today I found out what happens when an 04 Jetta meets up with an
06 Toyota 4 Runner at 90 degrees at about 35 mph.....The Jetta
wins!!!! Lady was on her cell phone (aren't they always!) and tried
to push a green turn signal and didn't make it. I hit her right in
front of the left front wheel. Basically tore off the entire front
bumper, grill, lower facia and may have bent the radiator mount. She
had it towed away! My car....well, a broken and bent bumper, broken
headlight, dented hood and broken grill!! I drove my car home!!!!
Believe it or not, her first words to me were, "I am sorry, I really
wasn't paying attention. Its all my fault!" She even repeated it to
the police officer who came to take the report. I will be dropping
the car off tomorrow and picking up a rental to use until her
insurance fixes it. I myself am a bit sore but that is to be
expected. Luckily, the accident happened so fast, I didn't have a
chance to tense up. I also believe that the wreck would have been
worse had I not had ABS and traction control (ESP). We had some rain
early this morning and there was still a bit of water on the road. Oh
well, time for a hot shower and some tylenol!!!!! Hayden

"Dictatorships all have common factors: a government controlled by
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
