Can't blame Jimmy for that one. It all started in '71, so Nixon years.

A kid with a plow on his pickup made an illegal left turn and hit my 
Toyota. Neither of us were doing much more than 20 mph. No injuries, no 
air bags, and since I was only a mile and a half from home I drove the car 
back telling the cop to call off the wrecker. 

When the guy from the auto body place selected by the insurance company 
came to pick it up, he took a quick look and said 'totaled'. I thought it 
was mostly plastic cosmetics but the frame had crumbled.
