Goodbye, little red car.
Oct. 19th, 2004 08:14 pmThe power went out around 8 this morning, and it's all been downhill from there.
My car is dead. Dead dead dead. It has joined the choir invisible. It has shuffled off this mortal coil. Etc., etc., etc. I was driving south on the freeway when I braked to avoid a mess ahead of me, I think the result of another accident which had apparently just happened. I had just enough time to feel relieved that I'd stopped without hitting the car in front of me when I glanced in the rearview and saw a huge, horkin' pickup truck coming right at me. I think I hate those things even more now than I used to.
So yes, the pickup rear-ended me, shoving me into the car I'd just gone to all that trouble not to hit. I'm okay, except for a serious bruise on my left knee, which doesn't want to bend now because ow ow ow. But my car is totaled. I am a little sad about this, but I'm glad not to be dead.
Yeah. That's about all there is to say about that.
Oh yeah. And I'm not totally sure... but I think he didn't stop. There was a truck pulled over on the right shoulder and I'm not sure if it was the truck that hit me, or if it was part of the other accident. My car and the car I was shoved into ended up on the left shoulder by the median barrier.
Just wonderful. Plus the doctor told me I'd feel really horrible tomorrow. At least he gave me a scrip for Vicodin. :P
