Christmas Eve Day was a rough day. It was such a nice day that I was determined to take the 1969 Charger out for a short drive. I was on a four lane blacktop and at the intersection ahead, a truck was on my left and he was signaling to turn right and drive north (opposite direction). As he pulled out, a late model GMC Sierra behind him pulled out at the same time. The young guy who was driving, decided to gun it across all 4 lanes of traffic. Because of the truck between us, I couldn't see him and he couldn't see me. His Sierra slammed into my front left fender and our vehicles' back ends swung around and clapped together. I slid sideways into the ditch. I hit the steering wheel and am bruised/beat up but I walked away, which I am grateful for. I have a wonderful wife and 5 children that need me; so I feel pretty lucky. That being said, the old Charger did well. I was doing 55mph and I'm not sure how fast the other guy was going be he was in a hurry.
