There's no more junk in this trunk...

Actually there is, and its stuck there for a couple of days...

First off everyone is fine, except my precious car ( I know its an old fogie car, but dang those buicks come fully loaded).

Story goes...Jared typically drives the achivea to work. Yes the same one I have had since high school. Just now the tires are bald, it has no air conditioning (which is a must down here), the windows don't roll down and a few weeks ago our heater core broke, so instead of fixing it we just looped the coolant back into the engine block. The positive side of that was we didn't have to shuck out hundreds of dollars for a new heater core, the negative side is we have no defrost/defog. So pretty much on the morning commute you drive with your wipers on and have to continually towel down the inside of your windshield. A small price to pay for not having a car payment.

Friday morning got a little chilly here and we actually had to scrape a light frost off our car windows. Jared was running late and asked if he could drive the good car and I said sure.

Friday afternoon he was heading home from work and was stopped at a stop light. A guy in a cadillac escalade thought he was going to make a right hand turn and smacked into the back of him. The insurance company we were dealing with isn't open on the weekend (bad sign #1) so the car is just chillin in our drive way. And I am sure our HOA is probably freaking out about it.

My question still is, how can you do that much damage at a stop light? Jared said he looked in his rear view mirror just in time to see a large grill. Plus car seats can only be in one accident so we have to get a new car seat this week. However, Jared is fine, he was sore the first day, but nothing to worry about.

anyway wish us the best of luck~

Ah shoot! The good car too! Of all the days Jared had to drive that one... :( That seems to be the way it always works, you know? I hope you get something nice. And dude, get rid of the Achieva! That thing has been through enough.
