well guys i have good news and bad news

Good news is that ill be driving my truck again
Bad news is that i totaled my beater car today. bought this little dodge neon with 40k on it for $400 with not one problem with it.

some ahole pulled out on me at an intersection today and tboned me. the pictures dont do the damage justice. the car was no start and the wheels were lodged up in there.

luckily i was ok just real banged up. took a trip to the ER.
