There never seems to be a dull moment for my wife and I. On Sunday we were driving home from visiting my relatives up at beautiful Seymour Lake and we were involved in a car collision. A young lady driving her blue Subaru, was attempting to make a left from a sidestreet onto the road we were traveling, right in front of us, mind you, and a "crunch!" was the result. My wife was piloting the car, and made an attempt to stop before hitting the Subaru, and even tried steering around the car, but the girl in the other car saw us coming, and panicked, and instead of getting out of the way, she tried backing up... that didn't work too well! The car we collided with had a very good dent on the drivers door, and it probably trashed the rocker panel as well. It was a pretty low speed impact, probably less than ten miles per hour at the impact.. My wife can panic stop with the best of them! The damage to our golf wasn't too bad, it is still driveable, but the fender, hood, bumper, headlight and radiator support will all need to be repaired, or replaced.
The most important thing is that nobody was injured. We drove away with a little damage and the the other car drove away with some damage and a traffic ticket for violating the stop sign. We will see how the whole insurance claims go... but in the meantime the car still works, it just looks a little rough.
It's just a car, anyway!
