Well last night I got my car serviced and drove it to work today for the first time to "show her off."
Well after work my son had to be picked up from the sitter early so I was rushing home to get my family wagon. I came to a stop sign about a mile from the house. The car in front of me went...then for NO reason slammed on there brakes and I could not get to the clutch/brake fast enough and BAM right in the back of her white Grand Am. We pulled over to the side and her car had ZERO damage.My car had a crushed bumper tit and a bent chrome bumper. Than still in a rush I didn't check any thing else.... Well later I looked over the car and the bumper top and the headlight area was all out of shape. Headlights still work but it just looks like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) So my first real day driving the car was less than 100% On a better note I am getting better with the clutch and gears...... |

I hate it when that happens. And it happened to me in March of this year. I know what you mean about feeling like a boob. My 'buddies' here had a great time with my misfortune.
Dogpile on Marc But it turned out pretty good in the end: Making Lemonade Good luck with your repairs, it's worth it! |
