    It's probably better for her if the MINI gets totaled on the insurance claim.

    Referred to as a "Sports Car"......:Thumbsup: Instead of a cute econobox:D

    We call that a "morning dewy," as in DUI. Stinks for that MINI owner. I hope she's able to buy another one.

    I find it hard to believe that the truck was parked prior to smashing the MINI. That's too much damage to have been done in reverse! Poor owner, what a way to start the day!

    That makes me feel much better about my recent hit-n-run. My guy actually stopped, just left the scene after I called the po po. Since I got all his contact info, I am guessing one too many happy hour drinks at the country club.
