Our poor Honda can’t get a break in 2011. First there was the guy who dinged its passenger side with his red (based upon the paint color embedded in the scratches) truck this Spring. The guy’s insurance covered it yet we were still out $40 for a rental car since State Farm (the Bloomington-Normal Mafia) wouldn’t cover much in what were we being inconvenienced.
Now this. On our way to work, we were waiting for the light to turn green at the leading out of the ‘burb. Then this SUV started backing up. Somara frantically tried to put the Fit into reverse but resorted to hitting the horn. No dice. SCRUNCH. The driver’s excuse was she couldn’t see us behind her. Can’t imagine how, Somara made sure we could see their rear tires as you’re supposed to.
We got an insurance card, etc. etc. Now comes the phone calls and all the bullshit which will follow: scheduling, a rental car, time off from work, so on.
