ACCIDENT

How did we spend a chunk of the beginning of our weekend?

Before you freak out let me fast forward to the part where everyone is okay. The mr. had not
even been on the road for 2 minutes before CRASH. Both cars were considered totaled. Not "how did
he survive?!" totaled. More like "insurance company is going to scrap that" totaled.

Pause. The Nissan is ours. That semi-circle being pointed out by the arrow? That is an imprint from the
front passenger tire of the other car. This is what happens if you T-bone someone.

Bye, Nissan. You will not be missed. That building being pointed out by the arrow? That is
the State Bar of Arizona, where the mr. works. I told you he was on the road less than 2 minutes.
ps. Man in the orange shirt is definitely not my mr.

Though the mr. caused the accident, luckily, he is not at fault. The other driver was making a left turn and blindly pulled out in front of him. She was given a few citations; he was not. His airbags exploded, giving the mr. a few burns on his wrists. Other than general soreness, he is okay. The car is "broken" and "in the trash" according to the boys. The car suffered a broken radiator, busted fender, cracked windshield, bent hood, and other various injuries. Not worth saving. So we are down to one car until we figure out our next move. The mr. has been bugging me about how much he misses his truck lately...

  3. Ok, this is just a little crazy...Travis got in an accident last week and his car was totaled also! Many similarities. His airbag went off, it was a gal who hit him, yeah. Crazy. Glad they're both ok! We just bought a new car because unfortunately, there's no possible way for us to live with only one car. Yay for being at the dealership for 5.5 hours...
