Car crunched
I crashed my car yesterday. I was going out to get my laundry in the morning came around a corner hit a patch of black ice and side swiped a caddy. My left blinker disintegrated, I broke the bracket that holds my left headlight and it doesn't work anymore and I tore a chunk out of my front left quarter panel. I smashed the drivers door of the caddy and flattened 2 of the tires. The lady I hit went out in the ambulance the police said she was mainly just shaken up. I guess the good part is that my car is still drivable, no mechanical damage except for the lights and the police didn't give me a ticket as they said the road conditions made it unavoidable. I nearly got hit when I got out of the car to check on the lady as another car slid out of control in the same place. If we hadn't backed up traffic on that corner I'm sure somebody else would've crashed as I saw at least 5 cars skid out on that corner while I was waiting for the police. The real bummer is that I just dropped my collision coverage 2 months ago to save $$ so I'm really screwed as I have no way to get it fixed. I'm hoping I can just get the lights fixed and replace the quarter with one from the boneyard later on down the road. What I really want for my b-day this year is to hit the lottery, it doesn't have to be the jackpot, just enough to buy a new car ;-)
