The story starts like this.....

It was a foggy autumn night....and ends like this...I think I lost a bet with God.

I got broadsided at 0215 hrs on the 8th of Oct by a paper delivery man driving with his headlights off (just parking lights on), at about 50 mph. Why no headlights? Beats me, especially as foggy as it was. My 98' Classic was totaled, his van was totaled, and until the cops and insurance mobsters finish thier investigation, I am at fault for pulling out in front of him. It was, and still is sickening. I am relegated to driving a 4 dr Honda Accord. There is something inherently wrong with sitting that close to the ground.

So, I will be in the market for an XJ soon. I am tired of looking up at other vehicles when I drive.
 
That sucks. Just be glad your still around. JIM.

Yes I am, thankfully. A little worse for the wear, but alive none the less.
 
A little side note, my NAXJA on the rig. How do I get another?
