The 77 suburban won.









I was coming home from work and I saw a fire engine in my rear view mirror. I decided to pull over after the intersection. I looked down and HUD said I was going 47mph.

I look up again, yep light is green.

Next thing I know, I see the suburban coming from left to right. The kid ran the red light. Trying to think quickly I cranked the wheel clockwise, so the rear of my car would take the brunt (instead of my door). The force spun me 90 degrees, I slid about 50-100 feet, and ended up with one wheel on the sidewalk.

He ended up with a scratched bumper, I have minor whiplash according to the doctor.

So, how bad is it? Totalled? Dear God I hope not. This was my baby.

Rear drivers door needs to be replaced. Broken tail light. The rest is fender damage, but it's near the gas tank.... No broken glass (not even rear passenger. Trunk opens and closes fine.

I have to call insurance tomorrow, but I'm hoping it's not totalled. What are your thoughts?
