Well I was in a car accident yesterday. And I am going to give you the play by play. I was driving to take my certification test when two minutes after I left my house a 73 year old women decides to take a left turn without seeing if someone was in her way. I didn't even see her. I didn't have time to hit the brakes, all of a sudden I saw the color of her car and then my car was going towards a house. I tried to break but in the hit I guess they were cut off or something. Then the car started rolling backwards and I thought a car was going to hit me from behind, but thank God no one was behind me. Suddenly my car stopped and I realized the air bags had deployed. It smelled like gas and there was smoke (which was actually the dust from the air bags but I didn't know that at the time). So I grabbed my purse and phone and ran out of the car because I thought it might catch on fire. It didn't catch on fire but there was gas and oil coming out the car. The other driver didn't get out of the car at first. The accident was right next to the country club so several people came running from it to check on us. The lady ended up being ok she was just in shock. We are almost positive the car is completely totaled. The whole front end is smashed in, all the way to the engine. The framing on the passenger side is messed up (you can't open the doors). After the fire truck, ambulance and cop left my Dad took me to the hospital just to make sure I was ok. So I was there for five hours. Needless to say that really stunk.
So if you want to look on the bright side of things I will be getting a new car. Which is what I kind of wanted so that I could have a car with better gas millage. Plus I won't be moving my stuff around all the time. I am looking into a Ford Focus or a Ford Fusion. Let me know which one you think I should get.
