    on 9.9.09 I wake up to go to work and find this. about 3:30am a drunk driver slammed into my Tundra knocking it into the Audi. The Tundra will be totaled. The frame is bent. The Audi should be fixed. Here are some pictures of the carnage.

    The driver was taken to the hospital, but everyone was fine at our place. If he hit the house it would have been bad. We are still waiting for the police report.

    Man, that sucks! I was in Dallas last week, and a drunk driver went through this house, all the way to the pool in the backyard almost killing a little girl asleep on the couch in the living room! I'm glad they didn't run into your house.
