No more beater

Hi everyone, Well this morning on the way home from taking my daughter to school I had a little accident in my beater, '92 Loyale. It had just turned 140,000 mi. on Friday. I was making a left turn on a green arrow. I was number two in line. The first car got through. I was half way through the intersection when a lady driving a Ford Windstar, doing about 35mph came through the intersection going straight into the right side. Hit in front of the front door and also cleaned out front wheel, suspension, fender, grill, etc. In short, a total job. I have a little pain in my ribs and sternum. All from the shoulder belt. Had the Loyale towed home. Will clean the stuff out and then have it towed away for scrap. We had this car since 1992 and planned on keeping it for beater use till it wouldn't go anymore. To add insult to the whole deal, I had to take the SVX out in the rain today for the first time since I had the body work and paint done. Will look for a new beater. Take care, BOBB
