Default R.I.P.

It all happened last week on a sunny Wednesday. I left work for my lunch break, to a Wendys and got a meal. After eating and having a phone conversation with my girlfriend, I started driving back to work. I came to a 4-way stop, i made a full stop and was tuning the radio. I looked didnt see any cars at all as i pull out BAM! I just had shifted into second gear. A really old guy with a brand new Cadillac STS ran a stop sign and hit me so hard i spun around four times. Not only that but he took out a fire hydrant and someones whole fence in front of their house. My cars a total loss im so pissed and sore. The guy was on some meds or something, when they asked him what day and year it is he said its Tuesday and the years 1980. I will post pics up later.....

I do feel very very lucky he hit me going they estimated at least 50 mph because he was coming down a slight hill. He didnt even hit the brakes just plowed through my little civic with his big cadillac.
