As much as I am a libertarian at heart, I am getting to where I would support a ban on cell phones in cars.
Some BROAD (I use this term sparingly) almost hit me yesterday. On the cell phone and fixing her hair (in her SUV of course).
This left HOW MANY HANDS for the steering wheel???????????????????
Aye Carumba!

Thanks for the support!
Moving has been a little tough, but then this happened.....Nothing like a little extra drama in my life :ah: .....
Talked to the police who cited her and my insurance company, shes going to take care of everything, costs to fix and rental car as well.....She admitted blame at the scene, dealerships on my side as well as the police, so she knows she doesn't have a case at all. Most of this should be sorted out Monday....
Weathers been relatively good here, well, for February anyway  .....
The officer at the scene said she admitted to monkeying with her OnStar program when this happened.....She was from North of the city and was trying to find the Oakbrook mall.....
Should know more this Monday, gonna try and get a shot of the damage then as well.....

bigislandboxster, who will do the body work? Was the car at Westmont Porsche?
FYI, the PCA Chicago section is having a meeting on 2/26 at Westmont Porsche. Are you planning to go?

Yeah, the car is at Westmont Porsche, thats who was working on it....They seem to be pretty standup so far....They recommended International Body Shop in Elmhurst, say they get their work done there, so I'm going to give them a try unless you've heard something to the contrary....
Don't know if I'll have the car back by then, so we'll see about the PCA meeting

No, I don't have a body shop recommendation. I'm sure the dealer knows where good work is done.
You should go to the meeting, you don't need to have your car there. The meeting agenda is a Concours School and a Chili Tasting!

Wasn't the Bozo show from Oak Brook? I loved that chap when I was a kid! Nothing like the grand prize game...I hope somebody knows what I am talking about or this is going to seem like a really weird post. I grew up in Champaign and my TV was stuck on Channel 9 WGN.

If you are talking Bozo the clown, we had a local NJ version of the show. I loved him too, although later we used to call a guy a "bozo" if he was a clown of a different ilk.
BTW-I was offered a job once located in Champain. I spent three days there checking it out.
Small world, no?
