Focus + Tractor trailer = Carnage
#1
Well, on our way to my brother's from my two hour (!!!) interview in Lanham, MD we were southbound on I-95, about 4 o'clock, and....

we were rear-ended by a loaded tractor trailer.

Oh yeah.

Once the car was cut from the tractor trailer, we drove it away. Going to take it to Dallas Hollar tomorrow if I can, and tell them to look for anything that could possibly be wrong, at all, and how much to fix it.

Pics to come.

And yeah, Julie is pissed speechless.

It could have been alot worse, we know we're very lucky. But we *did* get hit by a tractor trailer.

Glad to see you all are doing alright. I definitly pictured much worse with a tractor trailer being involved.

Congrats on graduating and on the new job!

On another note...can you use the tranny support from an automatic?
