(no subject)
The weekend was starting to get good, with the reef reunions and thanksgiving stuff and whatnot. It was really peachy. And then I went to matt's party, which was a blast. Afterwards......... is in an lj cut.
And I wish I was there on saturday, guys.
So. Matt's house is in fort myers. I drove with my friend andres to fort myers on friday... we got there like at 6:30. The party was great... matt dj'd with his friend elijah... everybody was partying... it was cool. Andres and I left to go back to miami at around 10:30.
We looked around for gas in fort myers since I only had less than a half tank for the 2 1/2 hours back to miami. We pulled in a Hess, but they were closed. Before 11 pm??? WTF
So we decided to go to naples, right before the everglades, to put gas. We looked around for like half a mile, and then we decided to turn back to go the other way to find gas stations. We turned back, and drove down. We approached a red light. We stopped. 20 seconds later, an extremely heavy force was put on the back of the car.
That's right... my car was slammed in the back.
By, of course, a drunk illegal alien. With 4 passengers in his (well, borrowed, I believe) car, 2 of whom were drunk as well. They have just gotten into florida that day from mexico. Partied and got borracho. Well, look what happens when you're fucken drunk you stupid, stupid people! *points at people who hit me*
The cops and paramedics came... they took the drunkards, and the sober ones were left to talk to police and stuff. Andres translated for them. Good andres. :) My car was basically totaled from the back... a tire was flat, and the trunk was no more. The tow truck came after an hour.
You can't really see, cuz it was really dark, but that's my car on top of the tow truck. The trunk was smashed in. The muffler was on the floor, and the spare tire was impossible to get. The first aid kit that was also in my trunk exploded and millions of band-aids were on the floor.
I called matt a little earlier, and he and his friend max rescued us from naples, and we went to a hotel on the beach in naples where they had their "after party" in which I was supposed to attend, but plans changed at the last minute *glares at alan*. They rented a room for 6 for $250 a night at a hotel that usually rented $500. WTF?? It was a nice hotel, the registry :)
We were on the top floor :)
We saw naples
Tub and shower. Damn straight.
After party was much fun. We woke up at 12, went to a denny's type of place that was full of retirees, then went back to fort myers and chilled. There was no possible way of getting back to miami that day except to ride back with matt the following day, so we did. And I just got here like 2 hours ago. Without my car.
I recovered my sunpass, coral reef graduation tassle, cds, and stuff that I brought with me to fort myers from my car. The car is gonna be totaled... and WHO KNOWS if I can get insurance money from the drunk driver, since he didn't have a license. Not only did he not have a license, but the car wasn't his. Of couse.
=/ No more maxima. Oh, and poscam left the same day too, to a fund for children with cancer. So, for the first time in 1 1/2 years, I have no car.
I miss maxima. :( I miss the smell, the cd player, the sunroof, the bose system, the cloth seats, the air conditioning, etc etc etc etc
OH but I'm fine though! Yeah, andres and I came out of the crash alright. I just have a stiff neck that'll go away this week. I forgot to mention that.
It's weird not having a car. I'll be really lucky if I get insurance money.
