Side Swiped this weekend

We decided to leave the safety of our home to enjoy this beautiful weekend weather. We went to Downtown Burbank on Sunday and caught a movie at the AMC and walked the streets to check out the stores. On the way home we decided to got to Islands for dinner (up at porter Ranch).

We never made that dinner date. We just got off the freeway (Balboa exit) and we (Travis was the driver) were about to merge to the far right turning lane on Balboa to turn onto our street, Nordhoff. All was clear until we started to change lanes, this jack-hole in a Blazer came almost 60ph trying to cut us off, because he couldn't wait for the traffic to move, he was going straight but decided to use the right turn only lane to cut us off.


He took the bumper and the two lights in the front. We barely could get it home, the plastic wheel wells were scraping the tires. Maybe plastic car was a good purchase, because it only took the bumper off not scrapped the whole side of the car.

Here is the Bumper. When we took the car to the shop the girl there ask "where's the bumper" I quick wittily replied, "its in the back seat"




Here are my dreams being crushed by passing cars. We drove into the nearest drive way, which was a 7-11. As we parked we see car run over the pieces. Lucky the guy wasn't suck a prick and stopped to exchange info, he was apologetic because it was his fault. He did ask if we were OK, only just before he wanted to leave. Ho Hum..


So now I am driving this hearse to school. It runs beautifully but it looks a little weird with the small windows and feels a little claustrophobic. It makes me feel a little paranoid. Its cool for the time being. On a scale from 1-10, i give it a 4 1/2......don't recommend you buy. I can't wait to get my baby back.
