Just Glad it Wasn't Me


Ed was on the highway, driving his less than a year old Toyota Highlander LE Plus, and gave a guy trying to join the lane a go ahead, and the guy T-boned him. So he doesn’t have insurance, and his registration and license plates were lifted from a former car he had from another state. But he said he would pay and gave Ed a blank check. But both doors on the passenger side have to be replaced and this is pricey and the guy is now complaining about the cost.

Elvis, our body man, is outraged on our behalf. When the new doors come, I will have to give up my car to Ed for however long it takes Elvis to do the work, and will be stranded – gasp, choke, no, no, no. I am spoiled. Wheels spoil you.

xx, Teal

P.S. Ed won't let me drive the Highlander. Says it is very big and I won't be able to judge its dimensions. What, me worry? Foo on you Highlander. I am happy with my no bells and whistles Hyundai.

Yes, good thing it didn't happen to you - Ed might rub it in. The bank account that check is for could have $100 or less in it, and he's got his 'real' bank account somewhere else.

"Might" doesn't cover it. I'd never hear the last of it and our ins. rates would go through the roof. They're bad enough now. So, yes, every time I leave the house, Ed intones "Drive carefully". Well, sheesh, I do. My problems have all been in driveways.

Insurance companies are very greedy. When you have an accident they don't take into account that you have paid in for years without one. Twenty years of perfect driving records was ruined because we each had a fender bender.

Your body man is really named Elvis? ... sorry, distracted by funny details. I'm crossing my fingers that that blank check holds up and the car is fixed to perfection, fast.

Well, obviously his mom was a fan. He's a really nice guy. He wants to reward me for my business since I have had two accidents, only one my fault, but the ins. co. doesn't care. Ed is upset because our rates are higher. So the fact that this guy wants to pay (to avoid getting jailed) helps us too. Incidentally, we rolled our ins. co. back on the time they included my getting hit by a car WHILE WALKING. Greedy little buggers.
