so don't ask if you don't want to know
You'll never guess what happened!
You won’t. Want a hint? The fucking car again.
Okay, I’ll tell you. The fucking car has been sitting on the side of the road a couple of houses down from our apartment complex. I see it a few times a day. It died on the 13th, right? The next day Ginnie and I clean everything out and remove the tag (in AZ the tag is yours). And on the 17th the cops put a 48 hour tow sticker on the window. I’ve been telling the idiots at Wells Fargo almost every day to come get it. Voluntary surrender. Still there.
Tonight some 85-year-old dumbass PLOWED into the back of it. Well-lit street, nothing around it, parked politely on the side of the street, and some fucktard SLAMS into it. The belligerent old man was in the back of the ambulance swearing this car came out of nowhere!
I hear the sirens and wander out to see what’s what and oh shit, that’s my car. I battle between responsible adult and covering my ass and responsible adult wins. I walk down there and chat with the cops, tell them the history and the calls to the bank and I’m pretty sure I’m off the hook. They just finished towing them both away.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaawd will this month never end!

The sooner that car is out of your life, the better!

Good grief. I’m sorry. I’m sitting here laughing while I read this. Car came out of nowhere did it? Jesus.
There really should be a cut off age for driving. To young or to old, you don’t get to drive.
I do hope you’re off the hook on this thing. Good grief.
Only three days left now.

You mean that old guy just totalled that mint condition, perfectly running Freelander of yours?
I hope he’s well insured!

You have to admit, this is funnier than shit! It’s the month of hell, yes, but this particular incident? Hilarious.
Did you get my message on twitter?

Ok that’s it… the car is possessed. Now maybe the back will repossess it.

Sounds like something from Jasper Carrot’s stand-up shows, about insurance claims
“I hit a stationary tree, coming in the other direction”
“He dodged about a few times. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.”
“I couldn’t see the lamppost as it was obscured by human beings”

Oh, poor Deb.
I hope that somehow this turns around for you in a good way. Seriously. That guy doesn’t have a leg to stand on (which is probably why he was driving!)
