Count your blessings. Good thing that it was an octogenarian who hit you. A young whipper-snapper probably would have been going faster. -- Signed,

2023 Toyota Tacome TRD Off Road....I really like it but I do miss an SUV for hauling both people and the dogs....with the truck it is one or the other, and usually the dogs win.
I am thinking about the new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, just waiting for the specs to come out on it. I really, really like the new 2024 Lexus GX500 Overtrail (which is just barely in my budget, the Overtrail+ is a bit outside my budget).

He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

I'm sure you don't fit the stereotype . My dad is almost 83, and still sharp as a tack. He just sold his Porsche Cayman S. Too low to get in & out of easily. He still has an Audi A3. I'm good at avoiding idiots going fast, learning to drive in NYC and Westchester helped with that [Remember when NYS Parkways didn't have on and off ramps? That was an education!]. This woman took over a minute to get out of her car, and the "deer in the headlights" look on her face said it all.

I've been eyeing my neighbor's 66 MG B. He told me he's ready to sell, but wouldn't give me a number. Need to get over there & give it a solid look over.

From my original most in 2018.
The Silverado is still here, now has 224,000 miles. Suburban also still here, with 425,000 miles. Impala is gone (thank goodness) and has been replaced with a 2013 Mazda 3 that has right around 152,000 miles. And we've added a 1999 S10, extended cab "long" bed with a 4.3L and 222,000 miles for my son.
. Not gonna be cheap to fix [her insurance paying]. Hopefully no one dies the next time she isn't paying attention & hits another car.
