Best get some flour for port locating purposes...
anyone else think "MeatStorm" would be a great band name?
All I can say is wherever you find a meat storm, you can guarantee there will be fiery metal discharge.
Man, yesterday shaging sucked. Right before leaving work, I e-mailed Clayton at HI-TONE letting him know that my finances seemed to be in order and I was prepared to place an order for an HT200 DR sometime in the next couple of weeks. On my way home as I was driving through an intersection with the right of way, a girl nailed me in the driver's side of my car. Was pretty alarming as I've never been in an accident like that before. Couldn't open my door, had to shimmy across the center console and climb out the passenger side. Went to the ER for x-rays and what not. No broken bones but I think I have a minor concussion from the airbags smacking me in the face.
Pretty bummed because we have plans to start looking for houses at the end of the year, and my car was just a couple of months away from being completely paid off, and it also just passed inspection 2 weeks ago with flying colors at 95k miles. I'm pretty sure it's totaled, because it's going to need new doors, pillar, seat, and the frame is possibly bent.
I guess I shouldn't be too upset, things could have been a lot worse and I was 100% not at fault. But I think this might throw a monkey wrench into obtaining my dream amp. I have a feeling the wife will just let me buy it/help me pay for it because she feels bad, but it might not be the best decision if I gotta buy another car :| So I'm sitting here home from work, mostly taking naps and playing Wii U. I'm refusing to take any of the opiate based painkillers they gave me because it's my wife's birthday and I'm taking her to an awesome whiskey bar tonight. Here's my car... don't think the photo really captured just how jacked up it got.

That blows, dude. Glad you're ok, but sorry it happened at the worst possible time. Did the other driver have insurance, at least?
Yeah, other driver actually had the same car insurance company as I do. Girl was an undergrad college student driving her dad's car. I can have a bad temper in a lot of situations but I'm glad I kept my cool and never yelled at her or anything. She seemed pretty terrified and I felt worse for her than I felt for myself.
That sucks, but I'm glad you're OK. At that mileage, they probably will total it.
Glad your ok Laz.
I got pinned between a couple 18 wheelers a couple years back and had to crawl out a window. That's a really weird moment when your like ok, but everything's all shaged up around you.
It's cool you got to go to the hospital. They didn't even send me to the hospital, I got cleared on the highway and I got to ride in the nasty back seat of a cop car to get me off the overpass and that was that.

Well, at least your insurance won't get jacked from being hit by an uninsured driver. Did you grab your neck and scream? Say s**t like "I can't remember my name!!"?
Glad you're alright. As long as the other driver has insurance, you really shouldn't be in any worse a position than you were before if the system actually works correctly. I actually made money when someone sideswiped and totaled my Datsun. Careful with them opiates. I got a little crazy when I was on demerol after having my wisdom teeth removed. Tried to OD on the stuff due to GF drama (I was a really dumbass 16 year old).
How are those mopeds even moving?
