I was OMW to Morgantown to hang out with Jared and Anthony (2 other members on this forum) and I was on the cell phone with another friend. went to shift, dropped the phone reached down to get it crossed the center line around a turn. Came up soon enough to react quick enough to avoid a head on collision with a dodge 2500 but still ended up swiping the side of it pretty bad. window shattered and a shard of glass fllew and sliced the side of my face but only injury. had to clime out the window since my drivers door was demolished along with the rest of the drivers side. EEngine is fine but since Its a 1.8 it MIGHT be totaled. Oh well time for a GSX :D

Ironicaly enough the guy I hit was a paramedic.. he had just left the dealership with his brand new truck. I feel so bad...
