Just My Kind Of Luck

So Friday I was sitting in traffic, minding my own business, dancing to my new CD and then I noticed the driver of the car behind my with his hand on his head looking all aghast get out of his car start to approach mine, he stopped to look at the front of his car and the rear of mine. He had hit me and I hadn't really even noticed! The light had turned green, I had started to go but the car in front of me stopped so I stopped and the driver behind me did not. My rotors are so bad that I thought the hit was the part of the vibration of my car stopping!
My car has a some minor damage--the big white "Scuff" is a break in the bumper where the fiberglass is pushed in and broken on three sides but still attached on one side (like a little door) and then of course there is cracking and peeling in the paint.


His car on the other hand was totally crunched! You can see all the antifreeze flowing down the street from his punctured radiator and the big crack running from the bottom front corner of the headlight goes all the way across the car. There was a police car stuck in traffic about 3 cars behind so the responded to the accident. And now I'm playing phone tag with his insurance company--Super fun but at least no one was injured.


Monday morning I was driving to work and a rock the size of my palm flew into my windshield sending circular fissures like ripples on a pond across it. So, guess what I'm getting for Christmas-hurray and new windshield! So that's how it works with me--one thing after another!

I have no idea where the rock came from--there were no big tucks around and I wasn't going under a bridge!

That's really freaky! I'm glad it didn't go through the windshield!
