Living life with no regrets!: Death of Black Beauty

Sadly this weekend...my very first car... Black Beauty as i refer to us...has gone to Car Heaven :(...Eric & I traveled to Amarillo....for a bachelorette party and to hang out with my sister...anywho Eric and my future brother-in-law Hooks were traveling to Amarillo via I-27...and there was a wreck near Mcormick road...traffic was backed up and at a complete stop...No emergency vehicles were there yet for the wreck so traffic was not being directed...anyway Eric came to a complete stop at the back of the long line of cars...and thats when a guy rear ended them....sadly this has put Black Beauty out of commission...because of the high speed the guy was traveling...my trunk was almost in my back seat...both driver and passenger front seats broke and laid back in the back seat...because of the impact the dash crumbled...and Eric tells me a CD flew out of the CD player...I will post pics of the accident...but must take a minute to thank God...why...well becuase honestly there were so many factors that could have made it 10X worse....right before the boys were hit...the large diesel in front of them moved keeping them from being squished between cars...they were both wearing their seatbelts...the car that hit them was about 2 inches from the gas tank...and thankfully Kyla and I were not in the backseat....all factors that I am thankful these boys had their guardian angels that day...and I must say I'm a sad about Black Beauty...my first car that I purchased with my own my money...have my own insurance...and ahhh the memories...the road trips...if those walls could talk :) ha it would be a good ol' time...so here's to you Black Beauty...for keeping me safe all these years...being dependable...reliable...and a fantastic first car!

The initial rear end view of my car...if you can see how the trunk is squished up and bent...and if you look closely you can see the damage done to the front end of the other car :(
