I hit the Jimmy John's Driver

12/8/2006

While driving down Water street yesterday morning on my way to work,  I was talking to Ryan and told him I should get off the phone.  It just didn't feel like a good day for talking and driving...

I was right.  I got to the narrow part right before that little street that leads to the safe house, Commerce I believe.  Since we have about 8 feet of residual snow crap on the sides of the roads (they're not so good at plowing here - they have no place to put it!) the cars in the parking lane were out a bit further (like 2 feet) than normal.  

I was hugging the center line from the right lane and dah dah dah dum!  The dreaded mini-van...  In other MoTBs (moral of the Blog) I've noted how if it weren't a mini-van that was in the accident - they pissed off the person causing one.  Yep - that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Anyway, I'm hugging the center lane until the mini-van next to me decided to push me back into my already down-sized right lane.  Bastard.  The next thing I hear is CRACK - BOOM!

I pulled over and walked back (I know I'm stupid and that's why I pay so much money fixing all the wrongs I cause) to the scene.  There was a lanky JJ driver standing there saying, "Shit, that scared the shit out of me!  I went to open my door and BAM!" - Yep, I happened.

Other than scaring the poor lad out of his high, there wasn't any damage that he could see to his car.  I on the other hand have already paid $274 for a new mirror that will run me another $90 tomorrow to have it painted and then installation.  I also need a new timing belt so the stupid Kia that I love is going to run me another $1000!  Yikes.  Poor Kia.
