Ode to the Lightning Lancer

On Thursday, November 6, at around 4:10 p.m., the Lightning Lancer breathed its last breath. It fought a courageous battle, but was unable to fight off a truck with a kid on a cell phone. It died peacefully, and will be sorely missed.

I was hit by a 20 year old kid on a cell phone and he pushed me into a Jeep. There was no hope for the lancer. It has been totalled out by the kids insurance, so farewell Lancer. Thanks for all the memories!!

I'm so sorry about your Lancer. You got a cute SUV now though.

Oh dear! You're okay though? Stupid cell phones. Our city passes a law requiring head sets to be used while driving but I still see people driving with phones in their hands! Personally, I think they should be outlawed completely while one is driving. Guess it's a great time to buy another car though. Hope all is well.

Your Lancer was a sweet ride. You look like you got a good deal on your X-Terra though. It looks nice.
