Yup, it happened again. I got rear-ended on the freeway tonight (in my
tow truck). I stopped to change a flat tire on a Ford Contour, and when
I looked up while I was changing the tire (the flat was on the drivers'
side front), I saw this bone head coming right at me in his Corolla!!
So, I executed a not so graceful but very effective bail over the hood
of the Contour (Those who've seen me go ahead and laugh, and those who
haven't, I'm 270lbs people!!) and watched my truck shake violently and
this person hobble to the shoulder. He tried to make his exit, but hit
my truck instead. He tweaked my rim (again) buckled the body (again!!)
but he had to get towed, he lost his radiator, ripped out the pass. side
suspension, and peeled back his door. So, after that, I checked my
pants, called my shop to bring a spare tire, changed it (10 bolts
btw!!), and was on my way. I got pics of course, it's scary looking at
the ones of my last wreck, and comparing them to what happened tonight.
Very similar damage.
Oh, I also saw Jay Leno go by in his Bugatti. I see him almost every
day since the NBC studio is right off my beat.
