This has been a week I wish I could have skipped all together, too much stress. It started last weekend on Saturday.......I received a call from my wife, she had taken her car to the full service car wash near our house. She told me there was a problem, they had damaged our Grand Cherokee. So I took a ride up to see what had happened, this is what I saw...
Turns out, after the worker pulled our vehicle into the wash, he exited the vehicle to help with the vehicle behind ours. Unfortunately, he neglected to shut the door. When the machine started, it moved up the side of the Jeep taking the drivers door with it. It took me 4 days to finally get them to spring for a rental.
Progress forward 1 week, I had a friend over for a nice BBQ. We enjoyed the day.....did some yardwork, drank some beers, grilled some meat while watching TV outside. Day turned to night, many beers had been consumed. I was lying on a lounge chair next to my fire pit whit my dogs.......I hear my car start and pull away. Now I am pissed, because this person was told NOT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. Approximately 30 minutes later, my dogs are barking at someone at the front door. As I go in the house and answer the door, I am greeted by my city's finest. Long story short, this is how the story ended........
THANK GOD this was a single vehicle accident involving a light pole, it could have been horrendous. This was my back-up vehicle, I only had liability insurance so it is a total loss.
Here is to better times in my near future........I can only hope.
