Well, I was on my way to take pictures of stuff I'd be parting out of my parts
car when I hit something slippy while in a turn. Tires lost grip and the rear
wheels hit the curb on the turn, sliding my car to the left where it went
right up onto the curb with the really steep hill with bushes on it. The
bushes stopped the car before it hit a pole...  hit the curb square on, which
was good, don't know how I managed to steer it that way, but the entire front
fascia is totalled. I took the dents out of it but the paint is toast. Fog
lights are gone (and they worked too, dammit!), and I lost the right fishtank
and headlight bracket. Fortunately, no mechanical damage was done and the cops
let me go without so much as checking my licence (such nice guys... gotta
remember to write them a letter). Managed to replace the headlight cluster
with the one from the parts car, so all is well, but I need to figure out how
to r/r (that's remove/replace) the front skirt, from the yamaha emblem down to
the fog light area. And I'm gonna lose the Yamaha emblem! Hey Al, you offering
any more of those free for the trivia thing? I could use a new set... :P

I lucked out on this one. No mechanical damage, and I was fine... didn't even
trip the fuel pump cutoff switch! Just thought I'd tell everybody...
