I am glad your alright. Cars can be replaced. You cannot.

Yeah, most likely it's the tie rod. Me and my dad were looking at it today, the control rod broke, that's why the tires were like that. I could turn to left side tire but the right side I had to turn by hand. Also I bent up the A-frame. So I'll probably have to replace the whole front suspension. Oh well, as long as insurance covers it I'm ok. I had full coverage so it better.

That's what we're saying. I'm also glad no one was sitting at that corner when I came around because I would've hit them in the driver door if they were. So we're pretty lucky as far as everything goes.

That's what we're worried about. We got to thinking about that one this morning. So I hope they don't write it off as being totaled.

Ahh yes, that happened to my dads car, ironicly, on the way to the junk yard!!

just remember, it could have been worse... you could have hit a llama, then you would have had those animal rights people all over your @SS....

But I digress, glad to hear you are ok.

Damned llama's taking over the country...

Why do you think I went off the road?! I was trying to avoid hitting one of those stupid llama's. (Good excuse right? Wonder what insurance company would think of that one... )

I once stole my parents car, took it out for a joyride, and smashed it into a light pole. That was one of the strangest nights of my life...whenever I think about it, I can still see that stupid pole slowly falling backward before it crashed to the ground. That was one of those moments where you seriously think about how you could possibly go back in time and have a "do over".
