The dodge is dead

Well, I considered my dodge cummins one tough rig but it couldn't withstand the impact with the concrete medium on the 14th. I was driving home from work on that morning and a kid driving a Chevy truck fell asleep at the wheel and rear-ended a small import pickup. That import shot foward and lost control, swerving across lanes and came right at me. I braked hard but he slammed into my right front quarter and the steering wheel spun in my hands to hard left. I saw the wall coming and braced for impact and went in at about 60 mph at a 30 degree angle. Both airbags went off and at a speed of about 300mph, the bag about ko'd me. It happened so fast there wasn't a darn thing I could do about it.

So, the insurance company wants to give me only 21k for the dodge and after all the work I have put into it we are negotiating. Guess i'll be looking for another rig soon.

Rats!
