My new "body kit"

[Ramana Lagemann <elmool@tiac.net>]

Hey guys-

Well, I think I have _really_ outdone myself this time... infact, I may
have won by default the "Friggin A**hole Moron Jackass Stoopid 'effin
dumbass of the Year Award." Today, I wrecked my baby. Yes, I was in an
accident, and it was _MY FAULT_. I was tooling down the center of
downtown Great Barrington, MA today. There was pretty heavy traffic when
I decided that I just _had_ to get the attention of a friend of mine who
himself was in a car, dealing with the traffic... I honked, looked over
my shoulder and... BAM! I rear end an '86 Taurus  :'( ....

>Excuse me while I go shoot myself<

Anyway, my car is damaged, but the Taurus is damaged even more. So is
the lawnmower that was in the Taurus' trunk. Did I mention the camping
gear that was sticking out of my grill? Well, there was that too...

So I crashed into his car at 20mph... my lower airdam is messed, as well
as the bumper cover and the hood and the lights etc. etc....

You can see some pictures of my car at 
http://www.tiac.net/users/elmool/broken.html

The pictures aren't the greatest because after the accident, I went to
pick up my camera and by the time I got back to "Steve's Repair", they
had closed down for the day.... But not to worry, I am going back
tomorrow to get some close ups.

Preliminary damage report- I am no mechanic, but I don't think the car
is near to being "totaled". I had no discernable fluid leaks, except for
what I beleive to be the freon canister that may have been ruptured.
Driveline  seems fine, as well as exhaust etc...
Then again, I wasn't able to open the hood for obvious reasons...
Check my web site after 1pm-ish tomorrow, 10/11/97 for more picts of my
"Little Red broken Tornado"

Later-

Oh, and never, ever, under any circumstances, wave to your friends... it
can definitely do more harm than good...
