So about a month a go I was leaving campus and the roads were a little slick. I pulled up to a stop sign to turn left. Another car was coming from my left and turning into the parking lot that I was coming out of. So instead of slowing down the person decides to try to take the turn at 15-20 mph on ice and slides into me.
The damage was all on the rear drivers side wheel well area and the rim. I take it in to get an estimate (it was the other drivers fault so no need for me to pay) and they estimated about $3100 in damages. This was probably December 23. The guy tells me I can get it in till January 14th, yesterday. (also said it might be about a 2wk fix)
So my morning started out alright I got up early to bring my accord in to the body shop. I have my Dad follow me to give me a ride to my house after I drop it off. My Dad and I start heading to my house. We get within 2 blocks of my house and a guy slides through an intersect and my dad runs into him. My dad drives a Pilot and we hit a mid-90s silverado. Right away I just about start laughing cause it was too ironic. Getting in a accident after dropping off my car that was getting repair from a previous accident. The pilots cooling system got messed up and it's not drivable at the moment. So me and my dad are both out a car, but rental cars were the plan.
I go to the rental agency and they had a car for me but they told my dad it could be a few days until they would get one available. The guy working at enterprise said they had 4 of there cars wrecked in the past week.
It didn't end there either. I had my roommate drop me off at the enterprise. I got a saturn aura as a rental so i didn't complain too much cause it was better then no car. I'm driving back to my house and about a mile from enterprise FLAT FUCKING TIRE. I'm about to lose it about now cause it's -18 out and I'm changing this tire.
We'll see what tomorrow holds hopefully it's better than today. Fuck the weather and fuck people who don't know how to drive in snow.

Geez, talk about bad luck!

My husband's car was in the shop once for repairs after someone ran into him going about 40mph and he had a rental which someone ran into in his work parking lot the next day. He was driving behind a Lotus and he thinks the guy was staring at the Lotus so much that he didn't even look to see if a car was behind it (he ran RIGHT into the side of my husband's rental) :lmao:
