i wasn't ready just yet but i am now in the market for a new car .. my corolla was just sideswiped and destroyed by a hit and run driver .. although the other car was found quickly as it was very damaged as well .. it happened so fast my first thought was that i had turned into somebody but the other driver was speeding in and out of traffic and went to pass a truck in the turning lane and there i sit .. i was turning left into a parking lot..we were all going north ,, there was no traffic coming in the opposite direction .. one second sooner and it would have missed me .. one second later and i would not be making this post .. two cars behind caught it on video and they both stopped and gave the state trooper the videos.. i did not see them ..the left front of my car is gone .. i got a cut on my head i guess from it banging on my drivers window .. nothing to worry about .. i`m sure i was looking into the parking lot when i was hit ..the car zoomed on by and turned down a side street but it must have failed nearby .. i just left the toyota dealer and they dont have a used car in my price range .. i dont want to buy new .. the pinto is an absolute piece of crap but it`s all i got for a minute ..and it likes to catch on fire lately ..
