damn this sucks, some people can be really careless on the road. the strut on the passenger side could be bent if its going inward.

It's not limited to Boston.. people just don't pay attention to their surroundings anywhere. That sucks, hopefully the damage is minimal. Here's a close call I had recently..

fastlife - I have to agree about Chicago drivers. As I've said before, there have been days when I was sure my car had become invisible. Driving just isn't as much fun since they took away my rocket launcher!

I didn't really hardwire it, I snuck the cables behind the edge of the roof lining on the front window, into the A pillar and down into the plastic siding of the glove box (that can only bee seen with the door open) to a 12v adapter in the glove box. I'll get pics next time for you

Hey w204 Geriatric,

Probably a young inattentive driver who was texting his mommy.
