i was wearing my seatbelt and was hanging upside down when i heard people running over and frantically trying to get the door open but they were both stuck closed. i ended up crawling out the pass side on my back which cut it up from the glass and my hand got a few cuts but im doing just fine. a little shooken up but just fine. when the cop got there nobody said they witnessed it and the old lady stopped but the cop let her go cause he thought she wasnt involved. he came over to me and i told him it was her but she had already gome. i remember the plate and it was a gold park avenue..they say they should be able to track her down and i hope to god so so i can get some money for the jeep.

i only have liability on it so im gonna have to drag it home and part it out. i might be buying a honda accord that needs a distributor or fuel pumo for $250 to get me by til i can get the money for a nice truck. but for the time being, i dunno how im gonna get all the parts off cause its illegal to have a vehicle in pieces in the driveway so ill have to see if i can sell it whole.

anyways, i have pics from the scene but i have to get them off but heres some pics i got from the tow yard when i got there today..after paying the damn $375 in fees >

Im not sure how much they salt the roads in Min. but over here in NY they coat them to the point that my xj looks white after driving for an hour.
