^ This. Were you "touching yourself" while thinking about the neighbor's wife (or cat) when it happened?

That's usually when I get random electrical "discharges" into my vehicles.

well when I got close enough I saw there was nothing in the road so I was about to turn when the line finally snapped above me. Yea, stupid move I guess but it was fun!

No I forgot to take pics (think of super small brown dots randomly scattered across the car)

They guy that hit the pole. He has some bunk *** insurance called: Zurich Insurance

Took a bit of bugging and nagging but they are covering everything. From my rental to give me a like car (I have the challenger but I think im gonna trade it in for just a Mercedes) to a complete paint job and replacement of any trim/weather strip.

Yea Im pretty stoked, I thought about taking the pay out... But having little brown dots on my car would've bugged me like crazy.
