I'm a little scared now...
I just got back from getting my initial estimate on the damage to my car from this morning's little kerfuffle.
So far, external body damage only totals $2200. Now, that's fine so far, but because of the angle of impact, my hood is smashed in and cannot be opened until they do the actual teardown when starting repairs. So if I fucked up ANYTHING under the hood, my insurance company will probably total my car. It's a '95, so it's not worth much more than $3100 according to the Kelley Blue Book. So, if there's much more damage, I'm scared shitless they're going to total my car and I'm going to be saddled with a car payment for the next five years.
Add to that, I don't WANT a new car. I love my car. I know everything about it and I know when somethings wrong. I do not want to have to learn a new car.
Although a CD player wouldn't bother me...
Anyway...I'm off to rest a bit on the couch and then watch "Lost" at 7:00...and such was my day...

Oh shit! I am so sorry. ...and right after you got it paid off! That just sucks.
I have been trying to find positive views in the negatives and I think there are few here:
1. You Are OK --- no damage done to that gorgeous face!
2. The other driver is OK
(Those 2 things alone should really offer a bit of relief)
3. God/Higher Power has a very mysterious way of helping us. As the other driver pointed out --- the accident very well might have spared you both from something far worse.
4. Everything might be OK under the hood! You don't know yet and even if it isn't just focus on the kick-ass CD player/sound system!
I know none of this is going to make you feel any better. It is very challenging to have that level of perspective when you standing in the shoes that just got pissed on.
warm hug,
matt
Matt... "shoes that just got pissed on"? Ewwww.
Umm... that was me, Nadine, by the way, with the pissed-on shoes and the "ewwww" comment.
Cee yoU Next Tuesday!
