Perversity might be a better term....when I snatched the phone line out and around the weed eater head, I was damned close to begin shooting everything that had pissed me off!

I hope the Camaro was not totally totaled !  My stuff is all fixable tho it took me over an hour to fish the new phone line thru the wall

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I am too old to run, and I learned long ago, if you are running from something that will chase you, it is often best to stop and deal with the situation...un less it is a bull...then jump the fence or climb a tree while you make a plan to deal with it

Over $6000 in damage... which astonishingly only equated to 20-25% of the value of the car.  :rofl: Natasha was driving and she came out without injury, which is the important fact.

At 33 years of age one would hope it would start to settle in... maturity that is.  Of course it is still on my bucket list to get into a bar fight.  :player:

Well to be fair that is the inner and outer quarters, the tail light, bumper cover, door damage, "camaro" filler and tail panel, tweaked frame rail, rocker panel on the other side (damaged due to towing) etc. Plus, the body shop has to match the rolled/flared fender lip on the other side that alone is a few hours work.
