    Hey! I got it used! It was almost twenty years old by the time I got it, so it wasn't that long ago.

    And no, nobody would have associated the General Lee with that car... until they saw me driving.
    Sorry, my cow died so I don't need your bull

      Self Sighting..

      Back in 2006 I was a high school senior and for the fun of it was going to see The Omen new release on 06/06/06. I picked up my girlfriend who lived in a subdivision I was not too familiar with. Following her directions we ended up at the top of a small hill in front of the local Middle School. This hill is actually over an old railroad track so its a pretty quick drop off down it. There is also a lovely wall the subdivision put in, that makes it near impossible to see down the road well. I didn't realize that and my friend didn't either.

      Now for the doofus part. I have a stop sign, the street I am turning left onto doesn't. For what ever reason I saw a truck with his left turn signal on stopped on the far side of the road I was turning on to. *note* I have been driving this road for 2 years. */note* I thought he had a stop sign too and didn't see anyone coming down the road from the other way. So I go and T-Bone a silver sedan with my little Camry.

      Luckily I was able to turn the car and we didn't hit anyone else. The other people who were stopped behind the truck that was trying to turn into the subdivision called 911 for us. I got my friend and I out of the car cause the air bags went off and the smoke made me think something else was wrong. Then I had to call my mom. Now a month earlier my older sister called mom from Nashville saying she totaled her car and it was just scratched. So when I tell mom I totaled it well she didn't quite believe me. Till I tell her the front end is now all to one side and the airbags went off.

      They towed the car to a lot and Dad brought it home and sold it with in a few days. I believe I broke the motor mounts from what Dads friend told him when his buddy, who bought it, went to fix it but I honestly don't remember much.

      I got charged with running the stop sign and causing an accident. My friend and I thought I stopped, my dad to this day thought I stopped, but I didn't want to fight so went to court, took my points, and got fined.

      wow this turned out long..Sorry I ramble..
