I’m still quite frustrated with today’s event, so I won’t go into too much detail of what happened…but here is a sample of what played out:
Me and “Vicki”, my red Volvo, are sitting behind an Escalade (who is first in line) at an intersection in the lefthand turning lane, waiting for a green arrow. After a few seconds of waiting, all of a sudden, the Escalade’s reverse lights go on (the little white ones) and he begins to back up. I’m thinking, OK, he’s sticking out a little bit in the intersection, so he’s going to inch back a bit, right? WRONG. As I say out loud to myself, “Hey buddy, stop!” he slams his big SUV right into my little car. Fucking awesome. To top it all off, when we both get out of the car I discover he doesn’t speak hardly a lick of english. Great.
All in all, the police showed up, we filed the police report, he got a ticket, and I will not have to pay out of pocket. I’m just worried that this fender bender is going to screw up my electrical system like the LAST fender bender did, which basically “killed” my previous Volvo. So I’m just hoping this car isn’t damanged that bad.
Ugh, so stressed out. Can’t talk about this anymore. !!!
