One Dead Svx

WELL it has not been a good week for me i spent about $300 on brake, rotor and other stuff and then on wensday some lady deside it would be a good idea to kill my svx and sideswiped me.
we were doing about 45mph and this lady does not even look and she take a left and hit my baby in the right front corterpanle. so it is totaled. the frame is out of line she it so hard the roof has waves in it over the driverside door.
but alot of the car is still good like the engine and the tran i just had it fixed about 30,000 miles ago. so when i get my check im going to need a new svx. i dont care about if it runs or if the trans is good. i need a svx that the body it good and i have the rest. so if anyone know of a svx in good shape that has a bad tran. i know it is hard to hear about such a bad thing

My beater has a scrape in the side from a woman who thought nothing of backing her SUV into the spot next to mine while on the cellphone and drinking iced coffee ... stereotypes or trend? I'm not sure... but there it is.

That's the first thing I pictured, some broad on a cell phone driving an SUV. She had this undying need to have herself entertained at someone else's expense on that short drive to the mall. She probably didn't even hang up, and started telling whoever she was talking to all about her new adventure.

And the person she was talking too? Yeah, they were probably disappointed the accident didn't cut her vocal cords.


I know this from personal experience when that 17 year old slammed into me. She never even hung up. She gets out of the car appologizing with that phone still superglued to her ear.

I'm sorry about what happened. Glad you are Ok.

Is talking on cell phone while driving still not illegal in the states? I'm so tired of seeing those people on the road. Sadly all I can do now is... stay away from those or expect they will hit you any time. too sad.

I talk on my cell on the road, but never in heavy freeway traffic (too dangerous) and when i do, i make sure I'm double checking everything I do, even at the expense of whomever I'm talking to.

If it's not illegal to talk on a cell phone when driving it should be. Another thread on this site has a discussion on this topic. It's also worse to be driving and on a cell phone than driving drunk!

When my phone rings while I'm driving my passengers answer it or I ignore it.

I hope that is included in the police report - the phone thing that is.

I'm old school, and don't even have a leash... I mean cell phone.

My wife bought this doo wah at Sharper Image that attaches to the head rest bars. (We don't have then on SVX's).

It has a built in speaker and microphone, runs on 8 AA batteries and is completely hands free. She loves it, and it's safe.

I, of course am still stuck with "entertaining" her as she drives, when I could be here in the political forum raising Lee's blood pressure.
