On a more serious note, I...er...wrecked my car... =>.>=;

Basically, I was heading down the driveway from my apartment complex when I pretty much drifted too far to the left and wound up smacking right into a car going the other way. Luckily, no one was hurt (not even our airbags deployed), but both cars pretty much had to be towed.

Damage cost: about $6000, most of it in body work and labor (though I DO need to have my coolant tank replaced). Luckily, my insurance is such that I'm only responsible for the $250 deductible and part of the cost for the rental car. And even though I was pretty much 'at fault' for this, I didn't have to pay out of pocket to repair the other car.

Unfortunately, my car is STILL in the shop (the accident happened June 14th), mostly because it IS a hybrid and they were waiting for the necessary parts (probably didn't help that I took it to a shop recommended by the insurance company as opposed to the dealership where I bought the prrfin' thing). But hopefully, I'll get it back by the end of this week.

The kicker? The other driver is one of my landlords. =O.O=
The other kicker? I JUST paid off the loan. =@.@=

Still, this is pretty much why I have insurance. =x.x=

Edit: Okay, JUST got the car back today (July 6th). And wow. I can't even tell that anything actually happened to it. =O.O=
I'll still need to see how it runs in the next few days, just to be sure. But still, seems to have been worth the wait so far. ^^;
