Jami and I were on our way to the Braves game today. There is a group of Scots visiting our church for 2 weeks and they've never been to a game, so we were going to meet everyone up there. Well, just north of the Newnan exit I look in the rearview mirror and see a gold mustang v6 hauling ass up on me. I tap the brakes to try to get him from running over me and when I do, everyone in our lane decides to hit the brakes. Apparently, someone slung a tire in our lane. Well, I hit the brakes and lock up the tires to keep from hitting the tahoe in front of us. The tahoe slung the tire up on the mp3 and broke the driver's side view mirror and streaked up the side of the car. Well, the damn mustang hits us in the rear. We were going 85ish when we hit the brakes and the mustang was running up on us like we were standing still...so I know his ass didn't have any time to react, so there's no telling how fast he was going when he hit us. Well, we noticed a mazda b2000 had stopped with us. He walked back to make sure everyone was ok then he went and sat in his truck. When the GSP showed up, he hopped out of his truck, walked up to the officer and told him how the mustang almost wrecked him about a mile back. Apparently, another GSP saw him driving like an idiot as well. Well, he got 2 tickets and we came home. So, on to the pics. The last one is from our car going south on i-85 and the wrecker with his car going north on i-85...sorry, it was the best I could do. The impact was so hard it knocked his driver's side headlight assembly out of the car and he had a hole punched out where his bumper hit our exhaust.

And to make matters worse, he didn't have a DL from any of the 50 states. He was Costa Rican or something.
