Yes, tis true; someone has smashed into the back of my Rav4. Car Go Bang made for an interesting week. Last Wednesday at about 5:32 PM on Rock Quarry Road an Italian man decided he wasn’t going to use his breaking system and used mine instead. I saw him coming I just couldn’t get out of the way fast enough and right up underneath of my car he went.
No one stopped. No one called the police. My cell phone? I left it at home on the counter. Now, some of you know how paranoid I can be at times. We all watch the news and see the freakish stories. I was terrified that I would be on the 6 o’clock news and not in a good way.
At about the time where I started loosing consciousness the man who so abruptly introduced his car to mine called Jason. Jason had asked me if I had called the cops. All I could say is no, you need to do that. I am glad he did.
The driver, with only a license to drive fleet cards and no insurance had asked me several times not to call the cops. Not that I could with having leftl home without my phone. I felt stranded!
My car did not look all that damaged however, the back doors do not open anymore. The muffler makes a beautiful put-put-put and the weather stripping on the front windshield is all wrinkled. I called the body shop today (the car has been there since last Thursday) and I was told the car is still not finished being evaluated. I am okay with that. I would rather them take the time and do it right. When I asked him how it was looking his exact words were, “Look’ in kinda rough” and I just couldn’t believe it.
We will be mailing out our new address cards within the next week. I will say I was able to get them super cheap thanks to www.vistaprint.com. They aren’t spectacular but they do the trick.
