    Default Badly damaged 86

    the story:
    on Friday morning on my way to work, about 3kms from home im driving along doing 100km/h around a gentle bend when i realize that the datto 1200 Ute coming towards me is crossing the double line. by the time i realize hes going to hit me its to late, i didn't have time to react. he hit me on the drivers side and the car started to spin clockwise down the road. i ended up going backwards into a ditch at around 40km/h. so had no whip lash injuries, only the large chunk of glass in my left eye around 3mm round. i held my bottom eyelid down but after a couple minutes the glass luckily fell out by itself. it turns out that the other driver who is 18 next month had just come off night shift and had fell asleep on the short straight just before the corner. he was alright except the foot well collapsed on his foot and it may have been broken.

    the pics: (sorry about quality, its kinda all i had on me)
    you cant really see in the photos but there is a ripple in the roof inline with the back of the door a round 5 inches long as the A pillar transferred the force to the roof

    Glad to hear you're ok, man. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

    fuck my front foot.

    your real lucky mate, good to hear you are ok

    you going to buy the wreck back? id say if the loof is rippled the way it is, then they would write it off, as there would be a fair bit of structual damage.
