I’ve Jinxed Myself! Paid Off My Car Update
Well it just figures that the very day I announce to the world I paid off my car I would also be involved in my first psuedo accident.
I say pseudo because it was not enough to report it to the insurance company but just enough to frazzle my nerves.
I was driving home from work as usual. I am of course following the speed limit more or less, as are two cars in the left lane slightly ahead of me. Well I guess the second guy in the left lane didn’t feel like going the speed limit was fast enough, so he promptly swerved to my lane to accelerate.
Only problem was my car was in his way. Luckily I happen to have cat like reflexes. I leaned into the horn while doing a bit of swerving of my own, screeching tires and all, to avoid a collision. His rear right corner touched my front left corner, bouncing me into the curb.
He did not stop.
After pulling over I investigated the damage. I lost some paint where the two cars met, but did not end up leaving any dents. I had to wander back down the street on foot to retrieve my hub cap. Other than that, I was ok, and the car was fine too. The tires looked ok, albet a bit scratched.
So I’ve made it back home and thats that. Just thought I’d like to share. I feel better anyways.
