the lights came on fast, lost in motorcrash

i got in a wreck on the way to uc today. i'd just turned right off my street, and was headed down rybolt when this kid came flying out of his driveway in reverse, right into my side of the car. i honked and tried to go around him, but he slammed right into me, and i spun around 180 degrees into the opposite lane. it's a good thing no one was coming the other way or i would slammed right into them. the kid that hit me was obviously really shaken up. i've see him before; i think he's a junior or senior at oak hills. he was real apologetic about the whole thing, and i could tell he felt like crap. i can't imagine how much more it would have sucked to have had that happen and then have the person you hit scream and yell at you (now rob is going to comment on the angry african americans he hit in clifton).

my car is messed up pretty bad. the side mirror is gone, the door barely opens and closes, the windshield has a new crack, and the whole driver's side is dented and scraped up. definately not something i want to drive around in that condition. i drove it back to my house, but i'm sure it's not safe to take it any further than that. considering the car's worth, i'll be surprised if they don't declare it as totalled.
