I come back to this forum and find more people in accidents. I see there was at least 2 over the weekend among forum members. What is going on around here lately?

My car has been in the garage and I haven't run it for 5 weeks. I feel really bad about that and considered taking it to work one day... giving it a nice 100 mile run. Now I am afraid to pull out of the driveway!

I had a lady rear end me about 3 years ago doing 20 MPH. Bumper and tail light were destroyed. They ordered OEM bumper and tail light with no problems. Had the car up and running in just a few days. Now the insurance companies are totaling our cars over a few scratches. Suddenly it is easier to just throw the entire car away then fix it. What is going on around here!!! And what is up with all these accidents?????
