Bad day but all is well

Just wanted to share my rough day with you guys. That Crystal water truck wasn't even missing paint off his front ram bar. I blind spotted him unknowingly and he plowed my Maxima a good few feet until he finally stepped on the brakes again. He was moving from stop so there wasn't speed involved in this. Good news is my friend is doing the body work and I'm KEEPIN' the cop Light *****es! I was thrilled I didn't realize how attached to that light I was until the threat of it being removed. No injury's here just a fat $2,500 insurance check from Crystal. Cheers.

Gotta watch them blind spots. If you can't see him, he cant see you. Glad you're ok.

Glad to see you are okay. Now take that $2500 check, fix the fender and get a new door without that spotlight.

Hard for those trucks to see, gotta give them a mile. One time I was driving next to a semi and the tire exploded. THe semi started to wobble and I thought it was going to tip over and crush me. I about had a heart attack and since that day I try to avoid larger trucks especially after finding out most re-tread their tires, you know the ones you see in the middle of the highway all the time
