Well this is a horrible coincidence- I was at the NOSHIT in Washington on
Saturday and a young lady in an SUV ran the stop sign and took out my
(Sprite's) right rear quarter panel, spun me around too (not fun). Neither of
us were hurt but we needed some quality time with a scissors jack to make it
drivable.
Hope that these don't come in 3's!!
