Default Wrecked my car
Yep, I was in a hurry and began to slow down when I saw a bunch of cars backed up at an intersection. But it was too little, too late: I smacked the vehicle that was turning left right in front of me!

I pulled my car to the curb and had to turn it off because of the ugly noise that was coming from under the hood. I'm kinda of glad the airbag didn't deploy, but the impact caused me to smack my head on the sunvisor or windshield. (Yes, I was wearing my seatbelt!)

I recognized the other driver when she came to my window to see if I was okay: she belongs to the lady that used to cut my hair (until she died of cancer). The girl, Amy, is a sweetheart and (years ago) went to the Jr. Prom with my very bashful son (the date was lined up by his friend).

I dialed 911 on my cellphone and 4 police cars were there in about 5 minutes. Turns out that the car I hit smacked into another vehicle (I don't think there was much damage, tho').

I'm okay, but shaken. I gotta snap out of it because I have company coming for dinner in less than 2 hours. Ugh. All I want to do is go to bed. *sigh*

BTW, I'm driving a 2009 Nissan Altima until they decide what's going to become of my 2004 Ford Taurus. The damage isn't severe, but it'll be a close call whether or not it gets totalled. I JUST BARELY MADE THE LAST PAYMENT ON IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO!

I kind of hope it does get totalled, though. I owned a car that (unbeknownst to me) had been in a wreck. The tires wore unevenly and I was always having to get the wheels aligned.

Okay, that's my report. Going to fix dinner now.

Wow, Ro...I'm glad you're alright. Take care of your neck. You must have been jerked kinda hard to hit your head on the windshield. Lots of times neck injuries don't show up immediately. Take it easy and I hope you're fixing something easy to prepare for supper!

Yikes Twinks! I'm glad you didn't get hurt worse but I think you should get checked out tomorrow just in case? Don't overdo it on the dinner!

Geez, Twink. I am REALLY glad it was a fender bender rather than anything more serious. Dinner should be extra delicious tonight.

I am so glad you are not hurt. But I do understand the other feelings you are going thru!

Dang it~ Stinks when things like that happen, but glad your'e not hurt. Remember~ it's just metal, glass & plastic, so it can be replaced, but you can't. Have a glass of wine at dinner and try to relax. Take care.

Well, that just bites but it's good that you walked away unharmed.
