Well, it's official. The F-bodies are now trying to kill Kevin. So I'm sitting at home enjoying the blizzard warning when I get a call from Kevin. He's been viciously attacked by a V6 Firebird. He was crusing down the interstate when he saw the firebird in the slow lane lose it in the snow and come plowing towards him. After he sped up (brakes? in this snow? HAH!) to avoid her, he lost sight of her and then felt the clunk which threw the truck (a friggin 1 ton now traveling at close to 60 mph) sideways about 30 degrees.
So now he calls me, the nose of the Firebird is in his truck and he's following a rather nice looking 27ish, blonde dental hygienist to my apartment complex. Apparently she's my neighbor. I trudge out into the 4" of snow to join in the merriment. He hasn't seen the damage on his truck so I brought a flashlight. We pull the front of her car out of the truck while she's drying her eyes and plop it in front of her car. I distinctly remember hearing her say, "I hate this damn car. I was just about to trade it!" About this time we grab the light and go to inspect Kevin's truck. He could have sworn from the severity of the impact that she not only caved in the passenger side of his truck, but that she also pushed the truck into the jersey wall on the driver's side. Not going to be a fun day. Well, as it turns out, Kevin needs a new rear passenger side tire. Maybe a wheel. It's at least scratched, possibly bent. The rest of the battle tank survived miraculously (damn. I love Chevy.) without a scratch. Apparently the driver's side impact was the tire becoming close friends with the recently plowed, compacted, frozen snowbank on the side of the road (Kevin's Ice Removal Service... Ice and Noses done while you wait!). Now, Kevin has his own, traveling version of the snowbank firmly packed in his wheel. That's going to be fun to get out. Tally:

Pics (of the girl) OR BAN! LOL. Important thing... everyone is ok. Ha, just found this thread while looking for something else... http://www.powelldentalgroup.com/team.html Meygan would be the former Firebird driver. And, that reminds me... I was walking out of the office a couple days ago when my friend/co-worker was coming in. He looks up and says "just the guy I needed to see...come on, let me show you what I did to your truck". Turns out, he drove up the (steep and 45 degree angled) back entrance to the parking lot that we both park in (I'm on the end, it's about the only place I can fit my truck in downtown) and he caught the end of my bumper with the entire bed of his truck. He actually ran 5'11" of a 6' bed down the side of my bumper. He even managed to cross the wheel opening, catch more metal and drive all the way off of my bumper. It buggered up the rubber top trim (step part of the bumper) and scratched (and maybe bent/slightly twisted) my bumper. The entire side of his bed is pretty well destroyed. The insurance adjuster is coming out today to look at both trucks. I'm guessing my estimate is under $750 (probably $600-ish) and I'm going to bet that his is around $3600. Lets see how close I am... The truck was parked in the same parking spot that my 2002 Z28 was parked in when the asst. states attorney general turned in and smashed in the rear corner of that car. Maybe I do need to move... |
