Car troubles again...
Wednesday evening while driving home with
technotaoist I got side-swiped by a cab on Bow Bottom. Thankfully both
technotaoist and I are fine and so were the people in the other car. My car on the other hand has a very broken driver's side mirror and some body damage that looks minor but will still cost way too much. When I say that the body damage looks minor I mean that when I took my car for an estimate yesterday, they didn't even see it and originally only gave me a quote on the mirror. The car is driveable at least which is good because body shops are crazy backed up right now! This time the accident wasn't my fault (as opposed to the curb that jumped out at me) but because of the nature of the accident the insurance companies will probably end up calling it a 50/50 since it's my word against his and we had no independent witness. If it is called a 50/50 I'm hoping the cab company decides not to put it through insurance because then I'll just pay for the mirror and deal with the body damage later. The last thing I want is another claim on my insurance... I'm dreading seeing my renewal!
