Well, that sucked.

My brother and his fiance came back around 430 and invited me to stay for hamburgers.  Since they didn't have the stuff to make them at the house, fiance and I were supposed to go to the store to pick it up.  Well...She just bought a new car.  I mean, they've only had it a week.  It had 25 miles on it when she drove it out of the showroom.  Yeah.  She backed it up into my car.  

The totally ironic thing about all this?  The car has a rear camera, so that when backing up a little screen shows up in the rear-view mirror that shows the person what is behind them. 

My car's driver side bumper is pretty much crunched, and it makes a horrible grinding noise whenever I go over a bump or turn the wheel too hard.  On the other hand, I'm really not worried, because I know the insurance is going to take care of everything.  

Her car, which like I said is brand spanking new, has a scratch on the back.  And a lot of silver paint now, lol.  She felt awful and kept apologizing, even after I assured her I wasn't mad or upset.  Shit happens.  My brother and I were even laughing about it as he was taping my headlight back on.  Like I said, I know it will be fixed, probably better than it was, so I'm not worried.  

And the hamburgers were great. 

Anyway, my only concern is that she's totally stressed about it, and that I'm starting my job this Friday and need a car.  Other than that, well, isn't there a saying that goes something like, "May your life be interesting?"  

Today?  Was very interesting.

That sucks, but maybe she needed this lesson to remember to be more aware and not rely on electronic gadgets! Drivers need to be constantly alert, no matter what.

Yes, very true. She was so flustered, though, I felt so bad for her. I hope that she pays a bit more attention, as this isn't her first accident. Just the first one involving family, lol.
