driving to my last job of the day, nice big thunderstorm coming up, and someone in a jeep hit me so hard they nearly pushed me into the car in front of me.

Now I am out of work for at least a week, I cannot drive, and I am apparently so dumbstruck that 6 employees at the grocery store yesterday walked up to me and asked me if I needed help in the time it took my wife to walk over to produce and get some broccoli.

Pictures of my car




best part, driver of the other vehicle on a suspended license, and it wasn't his car.

LOL @ Psych driving a new Beetle.

I didn't know you were a lesbian!

On a more serious note, I'm glad you are OK. I have been in my share of these (I got rear ended by someone going 30 in a Neon and hit the person in front of me who hit the person in front of them), and it's weird for a couple of days.

important fact:

Work car (not mine), on work time, driving to a job, rear ended.

not my car, not my insurance, not my fault, not my problem

Why is this in general?

You would think that they'd be more careful driving on a suspended licence in someone else's car. Then again, maybe that's how he/she got it suspended in the first place.

Also, good thing it wasn't a serious accident, these rains are really crazy! My friend got into one the other week and I very, very narrowly avoided one on Tuesday (others weren't so lucky though).

But hey, people get rear ended in Northern California all the time.

:lol:

I suppose it would be too much to ask that people actually learn to drive in the rain. I mean it's not like it's freezing rain on black ice.

Stop dictating how we run things FreeB!

Actually it is frighteningly easy to get a license here. Probably cuz everything is automatic here. I mocked my bro relentlessly when he failed the written part, but I did get the one wrong about the tractor on the road... cuz I'd never figure that out in the middle of bum$#@! nowhere. My student driving instructor actually encouraged me to speed. She was all like, you know you want to. And I did. Just enough to scare the girl I was partnered with. Cute one too, maybe I shoulda played nice.

Edit: sorry bout the car bro, even if it ain't your fault its still a pain in the ass.
