Also, I’m taking the battle wagon in for repairs tomorrow. Someone drove into the back of me in November 😕

Almost exactly one year prior to that, someone crunched me in the side. That took like 6 weeks to repair.

It doesn’t really matter how careful you drive, someone will find you and smash you.

Even if you stay home!

My last car got written off parked in front of the house. A hooning p-player hit a car that hit a car that hit my car, which was a spectacular effort!

Whoa. What are the odds? I have a similar story but it makes me wonder, how often these things happen.

I don’t hear of car incidents happening from coworkers or family ever, but I’ve seen two accidents right in front of me in the last two weeks.

I should get a dash cam. Or life insurance.
