So being today is my birthday, I got my coworkers to go with me to Dairy Queen to get something frosty.
Pulled into the drive and passer promptly says “look out!” to which a Acura just starts up and immediately goes into
reverse, aiming to T-bone us… which my car has no real side support or side air bags. So I swung the wheel with epic
gamer skills and gunned it a bit and manage to take the hit in the tire and back end.
Tire’s bent at an angle, rear end fishtails all over. Horrible tire squall about 25mph. Steering is out of alignment so to
hold it straight you have to hold the wheel at 3 o’ clock. Doesn’t like turning right. Hitting a bump deeper than a quarter
makes the whole car wobble. There’s some body damage but I think the tire took the brunt of it, considering my car weighs
nearly 5,000 pounds and we moved sideways slightly when hit….
But hey no one died, except for my car.
The girl driving was in a rush to get out of there and didn’t have her boyfriend’s insurance info.
So…. frak.
How’s your day been? Better I hope?
