No...it turned out much worse than I expected. By the time I had 15 miles on the new tires somebody turned into me on my driver's side, spun my cobra out into a ditch, where it became airborne when it got to the next sidestreet and ended up landing backwards in another ditch, but not until after it had considerable damage. There is some frame damage at the rear where the car landed in a mud-bank (back first, of course) and the lower panel (under the trunk lid) is heavily damaged, as well as the drivers' side where the party hit my car.

At a cost of $250 I was able to get the Cobra towed back to the house where it had been sitting in a garage and it now resides there again, at least until Christmas break when I can get back down there to look it over. I didn't get to do much other than sit in the waiting room at the ER after it got towed...

I am walking around with 9 staples in my head today, took a few hours in the ER to get "stitched" up. Guess the back of my head hit the roll bar pretty hard when we landed in that mud-bank traveling backwards. According to most accounts, I was only unconscious for about 5 minutes, but it was long enough for EMS and the County Sherrif's department to get there before I regained consciousness. I think that was probably longer than 5 minutes.

All-in-all, it turned out to be a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day.

It will be a lengthy project, to be sure, and hopefully I can find someone who can do fiberglass work and we can get my car's body back into shape.

This SUX!!!!!

Nothing to cheer about today...
