It's time to say goodbye to an old faithful friend... my car. I bought my 1998 Honda Civic with the help of my parents in November of 2002. We've been many places together since then. It came with me when I got married and was our only vehicle until we bought the Liberty a couple of months ago. I put 113,532 (someone else put 33000) miles on it.
On Tuesday, Michael was driving it home from work. He got off the freeway and was stopped at a red light on the off-ramp. A guy fell asleep at the wheel and rear ended our car. Of course, the guy who fell asleep is irresponsible and doesn't have car insurance, so our insurance company has to cover everything and we have to pay our deductible. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. The adjuster looked at it this morning and decided it was totaled. So we are now looking for another car... NOT what we wanted to do this weekend.
Oh well. I'm sure something will work out. By the way, Michael was not injured at all in the accident. I wish I had a picture of it to go along with this post, but you'll just have to imagine what it might have looked like all mashed up...

isn't it amazing that people drive without insurance? i would be scared to even open my car door without insurance backing me up. glad m is unharmed...sorry your car is a goner :(
oh sorry babe. That's so sucky. It's funny how we get really attached to things we've had for such a long time. Especially cars I think. Good luck finding something to replace it. Glad no one got hurt. Hey, let's definitely get together while i'm here if we can. What times work for you?
That stinks! Our matching cars... no longer .... my 1998 (I didn't know that we had the same year!) is still alive and kickin' AFTER $1000 repairs this week, so maybe you're glad at least your money is going to a new one. I'm glad to hear that at least Michael wasn't hurt!
