Had an accident...

I was driving home after the clubs at 5am and i was the only car on the highway when out of nowhere a huge semi rolls along side me and starts moving into my lane. I dont know whether the driver fell asleep at the wheel or if he just really hated lancers but he basically forced me into the cement barrier to avoid hitting him. I hit that barrier so hard, the left side of my car went airborne. My front bumper is scratched and wobbly, my front tire somehow got ripped off the rim and the rear wheel is curbed all the way around the lip. The worst part is that by the time i regained control of my car, the trucker was gone... I couldnt even get his license plate number...

I want to cry

the exterior damage is not as bad as I thought it would be when the actual accident happened. I dont think the damage goes beyond the few exterior scratches but i am terrified to find out...

yeah man, I know how you feel. I got hit by a pick up truck once... it wasn't pretty. The whole right side of the car was dented in... It cost a fortune to fix that...

esp when the little rocks hit hit your front end...one time, one of the tires on the semi had a tire blow out and parts of the rubber were airborne and one hit my front bumper, penetrating my paint...damn them!!
