I'm pretty economical/sensible when it comes to cars. I've had a Honda Accord for the last four years or so, and I loved it. Sure. It wasn't the hottest car on the market, or the fastest, or hell...it wasn't even the most efficient, but it was a damn good car. Oh, and it was paid for.
I'm saying "It was," because the long life of my car was abruptly cut short by some woman in a Jauar XK8. That's right...I was in a car accident this morning on my way to work. While all of my coworkers keep telling me that "it's just a car. Be glad no one was badly hurt," I can't help but feel a tremendous sense of loss. :sigh: I was emotionally attached to not having a car payment, but now, here I sit - in a rental car (PT Cruiser), angry at the fact that I'll now have to shell out more money.
Typically, I wouldn't have posted about it, but I'm feeling the need to vent. Heh, I suppose it's funny because I wasn't angry when it happened. Then again, I guess it's kinda hard to be angry at a very nice woman, who also happens to be a cancer patient (made obvious by the protruding object in her chest. She apologized several times and accepted responsibility and all of that, so neither me nor the guy in front of me were angry or even slightly rude.
Heh, the anger set in when I arrived at the collision center, and they told me that the adjuster would probably consider the car 'totaled.' Fuck. I'm not even angry at any one person. I'm just angry.
