Default Yet another car crash/accident

So I have a "friend" over for the afternoon today..........and my doorbell rings (cant exactly go answer it).........but I see my neighbors from across the street walking away and looking at the rear of my "friend's" car......I get dressed and go outside and there is fairly decent damage to the rear of her car..........turns out the neighbors kids were playing in their van and it "slipped out of park" while in their driveway and rolled backwards into her car...........and of course, the van is uninsured.......their other car is insured, just not the van. Good thing a kid (20's) down the street saw the whole thing and dislikes my neighbors so there is no problem getting her car fixed........just sucks. Ruined what was a perfectly great afternoon till then.

Okie dokie. IF the T/A needed some work it would be best to park it at your place *and* let you drive it?

You are giving the saying "an accident waiting to happen" a whole new meaning...

Naw, I think it's just 'friends' with benefits or F*ck-buddies as some people call it

Good to know that you have good neighbors...in some aspects...

And yeah, they were good enough to own up to it and offer to fix it without any "pressure"

I gotta turn down the power on my magnet.

Speaking of accidents, my Cobra was run into last night at Burgermaster ... so I'm looking for a good shop to paint a bumper.

PPG paint required.

TylerB, that sucks! I hope you can get it fixed soon because it hurts to look at damage of any kind

Rott, they will tell you they are "too busy" just about every single time if there isn't a call for ambulance. Too busy writing tickets for no seat belts and stupid crap like that. The one thing our state has screwed up on: not enough rigs on the road to handle the freeways *and* neighbourhoods.
Just look at our senator. Does she look like someone who would consider more units on shift would help?

(the answer is NO just in case you are thinking that over)

Well the one at my house occurred on private property, in my driveway, (which means no injury, no cops) and my Mom was so shook up she took the guys info and left for work.......he convinced her (she is rather naive) that once you drive away from the initial accident site (they pulled off into a parking lot) that you can't call the cops..........now you think the Mom of a cop and the wife of a 40+ yr cop would know better, but she keeps her head in the sand about it so he got over on her.....BUT he is making good on fixing her car so I can't bitch too much...........and the one at my house, well, I DO know where they live. And they know what I did for a living and the actual registered owner of the car (her ex) is a Seattle PD officer so they are doubly fucked if they try to welch out of paying. Was a good size crunch.........besides, with a 6 yr old behind the wheel, who was gonna get the no insurance ticket? I can see it now.......

Officer: Young man, can I see your license?
6 yr old: <hands him a slobbery crayon>
Officer: NO your license to drive a car!!!!
kid: hands over 3 day old booger collecting dust in his pocket

Oh wow, you did leave me some PMs. Stupid board does a lovely job of notification.

As for VM, ever since the "Crazy" Amy incident, I have been avoiding my phone like the plague......you would be amazed at how many different ways she has tried to sneak past the caller id. So finally I just said F**k it & stopped looking/answering.

I will check today after the chiro.....

I thought you changed the incoming name for me...or put me as "Crazy Amy #2"
Far as I know the outgoing number isn't blocked - check next time it rings.
You can change the settings here to let you know you have a pm waiting and open it in a new window. Its far better than the "I have messages? Since when? Aarrrrrgg! those are 3 months old!"

The sad part is, i DO have it set up for the pop up window for PM notifications.

Lemme check, I think I did change her's to Crazy Amy or CU Next Tuesday Amy........I just think that if I see the name Amy on my phone (or anywhere) I just freak and have the overwhelming desire to throw it in the trash.

Yeah well, clicking to close those pop up boxes sorta defeats that purpose.

I told ja to put it under "G". I might be crazy but not fit the bumpersticker "My ex-girlfriend is a speed bump" catagory.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was the case since it happened (well, started anyway) in their driveway (unfortunately I think they are renters...have to ask about renter's ins. if things go to hell)..........no worries, so far so good on them working it out with the owner of the car. I appreciate the advice though.

Bite me I am not THAT blonde......most of the time.


Oh yeah, 1) Yes you are crazy (as am I) and 2) I like that bumpersticker.

i don't know if things are different in washington from california. i know in california a home owners or a renters policy will not cover any liability resulting from an auto accident. it is funny how many people have said "i hope they had insurance" most people think of insurance as a nacessary evil so you don't get a ticket until something hapens and then the insurance company is a savior of sorts.

Well I am fairly sure that car insurance will NOT cover a 6 yr old behind the wheel.........pretty sure that is written into most policies.
