Default I cant catch a break

Well on the way home today, i was going my usual way home and as I was coming around a turn, a black dog came running across the street. Like a dumb ass i tryed to avoid it, but the edge of the road was alot narrower then it looked, so i tryed to correct, but it was too late. Car did a 180 while slipping into the ditch. Damage so far is minimal, bumper is fucked up, wripped out of either side of the car, fricking intercooler looks like it might be toast as well. Im about to go look at it a little closer to see what else there could be. Cop said i shoulda just hit the dog, and in retrospect, i think hes right. gotta love when life takes a big shit on you

hitting a black dog is good luck as opposed to hitting a black cat which is bad

Life threw you a bone and you pissed it away.

Sorry, man. I can toss you a couple bones towards a new intercooler if you need one as a returned favor.

I would have swerved as well for the sake of my intercooler.

this was pretty much a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" If i had hit the dog going 45 it would have done as much if not more damage
