Drunk driver killed my E30
It was about 9:45pm on Saturday 4/21/18 and I was driving home from the gym. I made the second to last turn to get to my home which is at the bottom of a hill. As I'm driving I look ahead and I see a car coming down the hill with no lights on and it looks like he's in my lane but it's kinda hard to tell. The car gets closer and he is in my lane! I think about swerving into the other lane but what if they do the same? I stop my car and honk the horn and they run head on into me.
I somehow managed to keep my foot on the brake for the most part as the other car hit me going 30-40 mph. I try to open my door and its jammed by the fender. I roll down my window and climb out. I walk to the front to see the damage and there's coolant everywhere and I can hear the hissing of my a/c leaking out. I walk over to the other driver's door and he opens it. He starts shifting his body to get out and a CORONA bottle cap falls out of his lap onto the ground!! He looks at me and says what happened? I said you hit me!!
The police come and I tell them what happened. They walk over to other guy and ask him if he has a license. He says no. Then they ask him have you been drinking? He says a little. They tell him turn around and put your hands behind your back.
This is the first major wreck I've been in and still can't believe it really happened. At first I was sad and wondered why'd this happen to me? I thought about it and now I feel lucky. I avoided any major injuries and I'm still alive so life is good.
Just feel bad for my poor e30. She was an 85 325es w/s52 swap and too much to list. The guy who hit me might have insurance so I'm going to wait and see what happens. Here are the pics!
