....well. changed my oil on tuesday night, since i was over and my car needed it. went well, had no probs...and by wednesday morning, it was pretty clear that i don't need to get my car fixed anymore, and the oil-change was a waste of time and filter.
oh no, i need a new car entirely.
7:00 am-ish, i'm driving along the highway to work, and four cars up, someone cuts in - cue chain-reaction brake slamming time--the white van in front of me barely stopped in time.........
....and i couldn't. i tried, but i couldn't. *sigh*
cue-whabamm. .....no, really. i smacked right into the lady cuz we're on the highway and going at least 50 and i KNOW it should be a no-fault claim since she said the three cars in front of her hit their brakes, thus she did, thus i did...and hit her car, too. argh. the whole front end of my car, bumper-up, is a good foot closer than it should be. my change flew OUT of my change-holder (it's a dashboard cupholder) fell through the dash before hitting the floor. everything in my seats hit the floor.
it just wasn't cool in general. >_< then, fifteen minutes later, i remembered i had airbags...that didn't go off. (cuz they didn't--or, rather, I didn't hit my bumper.)
...
......now i need a new car. which means, i get to play the 'get the estimate' game with the shop and insurance people, talk to a bank if a dealer-ship's finances is too high, GET a new car (thankgod for my dealer-ship brother) and...start all over again on payments./
but it'll be a newer, better-condition car, so that's fine.
....and sadly, i'm not too upset about it. my next paycheck was already dedicated towards repairing my car...so it can go to the costs of all this crap and set aside etc etc etc.
...so yeah. that's what's new with me. =_=;;;
