i am lucky to be alive today...
this eve, around 4:30 pm, on my way back from the Campbelltown Pa. VW show,
on rt 22, in my '84  Audi 5000 turbo (which i have lovingly owned for 11
years)  someone pulled out in front of me at 55mph, hit me dead on, sent me
up on 2 wheels, and spinning around until i came to a rest backwards against
the guardrail...
the whole car is totalled.
i am alive to write this because i was wearing my seatbelt.
it really makes me think how lucky i am...
all those years of maintenance, and care - *poof*   gone, in a split second.
sad thing is, the engine still runs...

and of course the insurance company will not give me hardly anything for the
car...so i will most likely part it out.. (car WAS in excellent shape)

i will post pictures of the damage soon...the extentof the damage makes it
look like there were fatalities...

just thankful to be alive...
wear your seatbelts, they really DO work!!
