Wow! looks like you were lucky not to get hurt.How fast was the "Drunk" going? Did he have insurance? My brother-in-law was killed by a drunk driver 18 years ago.so I have no sympathy for them.

Did your g/f do okay? I dont know if you meant her hand was actually in mail box but hopefully she is okay.
Sorry about your car. So long as you two are okay.

Red face

I hope you can make him pay. Problem today is even when you win in court against some drunk you cant forse him to pay you a dime. I got t-boned by a non insured driver who ran a stop sign and the lawyer told me that you cant do a thing but get a judgement and if the SOB has any children under 18 the court wont forse him to pay a dime cause it might affect the finacial security of his friggin children.

Glad to hear both of you were not injured. FWIW: That looks more like a 30 mph impact, but, say 60 anyways for the judge. Imagine if he hit a kid on a bike?
