Crash....

Well, I had some very unfortunate luck the other day on the way home from work. As I was going north, a large orange county truck pulled out at the last minute in front of me to make a left hand turn. I thought to myself, gosh that was kinda last minute. But, what was more than last minute was the stupid lady that just went right behind him and made a left and smashed into my vehicle. I mean smashed. I knew that when I saw her, there would be no avoiding her, that I was going to get into an accident. I didn't think it was going to be as bad as I thought it was. After the airbags went off and the car started smoking, I than knew it wouldn't be good. My favorite, beloved car is totaled. I was so mad, as I went up to her car to start giving her a piece of my mind, I find her on her cell phone. Imagine that. If there wouldn't have been so many other people around, I probably would have dragged her out of the car by her hair and started beating her. And I am not normally a violent person. What really got me though was the fact that she never apologized. So instead, after she started complaining her neck hurt, I helped the EMTs hold her neck still while we put a c-collar on her and put her on the backboard. And of course, she never said thank you. Again, how rude.

As for me, I'm not too bad, considering how bad my car looked. My knees are pretty banged up, very swollen and turning pretty shades of black and blue. They are also very painful and hurts like hell to walk. The only other area where I'm real sore is my hitchhikers thumb, of course. So now I am car less with a sore hitchhikers thumb and sore knees, therefore being unable to ride my bike or even walk anywhere. It is quite a helpless feeling. Not that I need to go anywhere, but just knowing that I can't go anywhere if I wanted to.

So now comes the task of finding a new car. I loved that car and am sure I will never be able to find a car that offered me all the special features it had. That and not to mention, I only had 11 more months to pay on it, that I just finished waxing it and it had a full tank of gas. It also means that I don't have a hitch to take my boat out on the water this weekend. Plus, I hate car shopping too. But, I guess I'm pretty lucky....
