Damn man that sucks. On the good side most elderly folks have insurance. Hope she gets fixed quick. I live in Aliso a couple miles from siezure world, and every month around social security check time I try to keep my eyes open for the elderly and their big buicks and caddy's. Nothing against old folks but some of them just shouldnt be allowed to drive anymore. One almost hit me head on because they were driving on the wrong side of the road. Apparently he was to oblivious to notice that the traffic was going in the WRONG direction.

Thats a serious bummer dude! But way to have a good atitiude about it.
Like Illusive said, hook it up with some JDM power mirrors!
Im sorry but, anyone past 75 just should NOT drive. They drive like s**t, ive never been behing an old old person who was driving like a normal person. They all drive slow and dont have good depth perception and do stupid stuff like this lol.
Good luck getting her back to normal though bro.

Damn that sucks george. I jumped a curb in my MR today cause i had to avoid hitting an oversized SUV that wanted both lanes at the last minute. My damage is nothing compared to yours but i know the feeling. Today is not the day for MR fits. Hope it all works out for you in the end and it gets all put back together again.
