Well, seems like 2018 is starting out great. On my way home from work tonight some guy side swiped me in the highway and drove off as I crashed head first into the guard rail. I'm alright, but my car isn't in the best conditions and I have to deal with insurance for repairs and a rental. Lucky for the jerk that swiped me that due to the rain and the darkness I couldn't catch his plates as he speed off in the night. I just barely caught the glimpse of is black four door, but with how many cars are in the city of Boston the likelihood of finding him are slim to none. Depending on how things go tomorrow that guy might have ruined a lot of my plans for this year...

(update)
So speaking with my insurance and mechanic it seems like my car is wrecked. Thankfully I do have savings so I can have a small cushion invest in a new car. sadly a new account that I just started to help pay for a new car barely has enough in it for a down payment but it seems I can just arrange that for something else.

Thank you all for the kind comments and words. even though I haven't replied to all of them just know that I really appreciate it.
