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?????
Noticed it too.
Luckily I'm going to school right now in a town where everyone drives as slow as your 90-year-old grandma and usually wouldn't do anything that would startle a small deer, and I've had training in accident avoidance maneuvers, so I feel confident. If I was back home in Chicago, I would probably be right there with you. People drive like maniacs and retards there sometimes.
I just don't understand why so many of this particular car are getting wrecked lately. Just in these last 2 weeks. And it's not like they aren't fixable, the insurance companies just don't want to even bother. Sad, sad days these are.
