    Just got back home from the city visiting them. Levent has a black eye, and technically, you gave it to yourself again, lol (inside joke)

    It took me an hour of phone calls and talking at Port Authority to figure out where the car was. They said state police came and got it, they said Jersey city came and got it, they said port auth took it and then back to state police. Inter-departmental communication? Yeah, right.

    Rolled up to the tow yard at 9:00 and managed to get the two 3rd shift guys to let me in to take a look. iPhone pics.

    You can see, the roof actually buckled. Wheels are good, but one of the brand newish tires has a huge screw in it.

    Parting this one out will bring some tears...

      Looks like the roundel made it.

      My arms are really sore today. Anyone that has experienced such an accident, I keep reliving the last second, could see it coming but all I could do was hold on for life.

      Pretty sure the mirror is the bastard that took the cheap shot to my right eye.

                          Wow, that really sucks man. Hurrying out of necessity and you eat it. Glad you guys are okay, for sure. Why were you rushing to the hospital in the first place?

                          Now probably isn't the best time to point this out, but people don't exactly buy E30s for their safety level. There are about ten thousand different models of cars significantly more safe than an E30.
