It happened in the blink of an eye. We were driving back to Trichy with my dad at the wheel when a (suicidal) cyclist came in the opposite direction, looked left and turned right straight onto us. Brakes screeched but it was too late. BUZZ slowly crashed onto the cyclist and the guy landed on the bonnet and then fell onto the side of the road.
The rest of it was a little mob frenzy, making sure the cyclist was OK and a long day at the police station defending ourselves and doing what was right (the cops were trying to pull a fast one on us). Finally after 6 hours we were let off and we cruised back home.
BUZZ had quite a bit of damage but they were all cosmetic - dents and scratches on the bonnet, bumper and the side panel. The Chevy guys confirmed that they'd set it all right in a few days.
My heart skipped a beat everytime I saw those dents and thought of the day.
BUZZ just smiled as if nothing happened!
