Ok, so I'm on my way into work this morning, I decide to change lanes (I had to make a right), anyway, I look, and all is clear to my side, so I start making my lane change, look up ahead and see the rear end of a stationary bus that was picking up peoples. Jerk the wheel to the left, avoiding nailing the bus with the front end of my car. Ended up dragging the passenger side of my car (starting just behind the front wheel) down the rear bumper of the bus. The pass. window is gone, the door totally caved, the rear quarter from the back of the front door all the way to the bumper is caved about 7" in. Tweaked the wheel, breaking 2 lugs off, bending the front of the wheel out. Car is still drivable, sorta. Taking it for estimate at noon. What a run! Hopefully, things really do happen in 3's, this is the 3rd bad thing since October...

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. A deer, A bus, each time it was a Honda, maybe it is time to move on to a late 70's Cadillac. You could hit a deer or a bus and keep driving, you might not even notice anything happened. Posts: 2575 | From: GA | Registered: May 1999

Thanks all for your concerns! Yes, I survived unscathed, save a small cut on the nose from flying glass. I will be posting a pic or two of the car when I find my digital camera. I was thinking of repacing the car with a 57 roadmaster....

sORRY to hear about the incident. You could just buy a crappy car, for like $300.00 fix it up real nice, get it pimped out and put a kickasz system in it. Just a thought though. Glad to hear you are ok.
