Default MY Baby (LS) got slammed.......................

Into a wall that is! It happened so fast didn't see it coming. Here's the story; on my way to work just as I filled up with gas for the first time in weeks here in the ATL, traveling on I20 west all of a sudden there was a big a$$ piece of tread that was sitting on the xpress lane that just came off a semi. I missed the 1st piece of tread that was just laying in the middle of the xpress lane then comes another piece of I don't know what flying towards my windshield. I tried to get away from that, but over corrected, lost control, fishtailed 2x and slammed into the concrete divider wall in I20. I literally wanted to cry my heart out, but at the same time could'nt believe what happend to my LS after 10 years of trouble free ownership.

At least you're still alive after the crash...be thankful for that.

So who's covering this? The truck's insurance company or yours?
