This is what it looked like right before the big hit in April 2004. Like the 68-69 Camaro/Nova hubcaps :D

Young female in a black saturn coupe blew the red at 16 mile & Groesbeck. She hit me dead square in the right front wheel.
I saw her coming and hit the brakes. If I didn't I would have taken it right to the passenger door :eek:
