while we're on the subject of car accidents...
i was on my way to work last summer at around 3:40am (i worked at my local Wal-Mart's bakery). i was driving down my driveway which is rather long, curvy, and elevated - my uncle's yard is on one side and there's a field on the other...the side with the field is steeper. so i looked down for a split second and when i looked back up, my car was headed off the driveway. i paniced, kept my foot on the gas, and tried to get my wheels back on the driveway, but it was too late. i kept going for a while, the driver's side on the driveway still, the passenger's side on the steep side of the elevation, and finally my car got stuck. i started spinning my wheels trying to get the car back on the driveway still, but when i saw it wouldn't budge, i turned the car off. i stood outside my car for a while throwing around four-letter words like they were hot potatoes and trying to figure out what to do (i REALLY didn't want to face my parents). i decided to wake my parents up seeing as they would eventually find out anyway...needless to say, they weren't happy at all about the situation. according to mom, i came close to flipping my car (which is kind of humorous since i was in my own driveway), but mom and dad managed to safely get the car into driving position again, and thankfully, it had no damage. dad did find some gravel caked in burnt rubber, though.
this past summer, i met my sister for lunch one day when it started to rain a bit. she stopped at a stop light while on her way back to work when she was suddenly rear-ended by an armored Brinks truck which forced her into the van in front of her. the only damage her Tracker sustained was a dented back door and a knocked out rear window. her neck was stiff for about a week as well. lucky for us, Brinks paid all the bills.
, but I think that probably just means you don't know a lot of dull people.
me too.
