Well, it's official. The F-bodies are now trying to kill Kevin. So I'm sitting at home enjoying the blizzard warning when I get a call from Kevin. He's been viciously attacked by a V6 Firebird. He was crusing down the interstate when he saw the firebird in the slow lane lose it in the snow and come plowing towards him. After he sped up (brakes? in this snow? HAH!) to avoid her, he lost sight of her and then felt the clunk which threw the truck (a friggin 1 ton now traveling at close to 60 mph) sideways about 30 degrees.
So now he calls me, the nose of the Firebird is in his truck and he's following a rather nice looking 27ish, blonde dental hygienist to my apartment complex. Apparently she's my neighbor. I trudge out into the 4" of snow to join in the merriment. He hasn't seen the damage on his truck so I brought a flashlight. We pull the front of her car out of the truck while she's drying her eyes and plop it in front of her car. I distinctly remember hearing her say, "I hate this damn car. I was just about to trade it!" About this time we grab the light and go to inspect Kevin's truck. He could have sworn from the severity of the impact that she not only caved in the passenger side of his truck, but that she also pushed the truck into the jersey wall on the driver's side. Not going to be a fun day. Well, as it turns out, Kevin needs a new rear passenger side tire. Maybe a wheel. It's at least scratched, possibly bent. The rest of the battle tank survived miraculously (damn. I love Chevy.) without a scratch. Apparently the driver's side impact was the tire becoming close friends with the recently plowed, compacted, frozen snowbank on the side of the road (Kevin's Ice Removal Service... Ice and Noses done while you wait!). Now, Kevin has his own, traveling version of the snowbank firmly packed in his wheel. That's going to be fun to get out. Tally:

Tonight, I called the girl who hit me to check on her. She said she had a really bad headache on Friday but was feeling pretty good now, just a little sore. She thanked me for being so nice and helping her out the other day after the accident. I told her no problem, I was just wanting to make sure she was ok since she took a really hard hit. And, I got the name of the dentist she works for so I can schedule an appointment (I've had a tooth that bugs me on occasion and she told me the other day but I didn't write it down). She said she told her office that I might be in and they all want to meet me??? I'm not sure what that's all about, but I found it pretty funny. The insurance adjuster is going to drop by my office in the next couple days to take care of the tire and then I need to get it to a shop to get the axle and alignment checked out and they advised me that they will pay for any other damage.
All should be well. |
