Death of the 1980
Very sad to say that my 1980 was crushed today by a 17 year old girl who was not paying attention while driving. I was stopped in traffic when she ran into the rear of my car and pushed me into a chevy tahoe. I will recover, but the Fiat will not. A shame. Pictures will follow.

Re: Death of the 1980
Glad to hear you are OK. Getting rammed is my biggest fear. I hope the young lady wasn't texting at the time.

Re: Death of the 1980
Getting rearended is my biggest fear. we're thankfull you will recover. A 16 year old new driver almost ended my little brothers life 15 years ago when she pulled out in front of him. His new bike had 20 miles on it .
