(no subject)
Alright to start the entry with a downside,
I was involved in my first accident this past saturday. here is what happened.
I went up to hanover, and I was heading to the bank at the other side of the strip to meet up with my friend justin, well I was behind. 2 other cars and everything was going great until the one in front of me smashed its brakes, And as did I, but I just ended up skidding and lightly wedging my car under its back bumper.. We go and park at the bank and look at the damage, they got off with a scratched/scuffed bottom bumper and maybe a little more. but I didn't get quite so lucky.
My front bumper and hood are gonna need to be replaced (nothing a little stop at the junkyard wont solve.. after all its overdue for a fresh coat of paint) and my left headlight got pushed back which wedged my coolant reserve tank against the air intake, and pushed back the radiator and its fans, so that the plastic guard around of the fans got pushed against the header.. and being so hot it just melted them in place. I also was leaking a bit of antifreeze that came more or less from a broken line with the reserve tank or the tank itself got punctured.. or the tank itself (I'll know more once me and dave go and take the front end off)
Anyway. I got out of the car and immediately me and the other unlucky driver (A female and her male passenger) we checked and made sure each other was ok, looked over the damage, and began trying to figure out what just happened.. Apparently a black mustang (supposedly) pulled out in front of the line and caused everyone to lock up their brakes, and he got away without a scratch....
well after discussing for a minute or two, we decided to notify the local police department since there was damage involved and when an officer showed up it boiled down to us exchanging information and so on and so forth, when it came time to place blame, either of us refused to blame one another (since if anyone was to blame it was the asshole in the black mustang) but in such a situation I would be the one at fault, but we both knew that neither of us was truly at fault..
All in all everything went exceptionally well, and they (the driver and her passanger) even offered to hang around until dave got there to help me fix it up. I declined multiple times since my other friend Jess was there to ease the pain and keep me company (as were a few other car enthusiasts) so they went ahead and left.
Eventually dave comes along and after 2-3 hours we get her fixed up to the point where she is a-ok to drive, And I drove her all the way home without surprisingly no complications, and well she sits, a little dented and scratched but she'll make it..
Goddamn what a story.. oh but .. one more thing
I'M GOING TO MOTHERFUCKING CANCUN THURSDAY FOR MY 21st birthday... and staying till the 29th (my actual birthday) and get this.. its ALL INCLUSIVE, meaning OPEN bar at all of their lounges on the premises, all meals and entertainment is also included.. oh mother of fuck.. this is great.. and the legal drinking age is 18.. my mom is the mother fucking shit
Soooooo till then.
