Warning!!! Cruise Control-get Yours Checked!
OK THIS HAS BEEN A REALLY BAD DAY!! I am in Grapevine getting gas and as I leave the gas station I am starting to turn left to get behind a truck at the light. I start the turn and just barely touch the gas and cruise control kicks in puting my car into a spin and my feet were LOCKED on the brakes and it just kept pushing me. Well needless to say the truck is what stopped me! I hit my front RIGHT corner into his rear end. Luckily for me it didnt even scratch his truck. He felt bad for me, I was affraid to even let off the brake for a split second. My car is driveable but the right fender, bumper cover, hood, and headlight assembly are all cracked beyond repair. GM is gonna get an earful in the morning! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE SOUND OF MY CAR BEING DESTROYED! This totally sucks. See a pic on my home page at ..... www.SilverSS.cz28.com

See the pics page too for the rest of the pics.

GET YOURS CHECKED OUT, PLEASE!
