RE: Why did it have to happen to me?
I had a 2004 neon that was totalled, Glad she made it through. I got to say that neon for a cheap car saved my life. I was hit for the rear from someone doing at leats 50mph while I was at a stand still. And I just suffered a sprang back and neck. That little car took the brute force of the impact.
You couldn't convince her to keep it a dodge and get that new Caliber? That is what I think I would have got if it wasn't for the fact I wanted a muscle car now.
Good luck to you in saving again for the challenger.
