Bummer. Good that she is OK.

Was she distracted?
Nodded off, early in the morning.
Two sheriffs deputies were on the scene, they thoroughly combed thru everything.
So far the only charge has been a failure to control speed to avoid a collision. That`s good for 3 points...
If there is one thing that I am absolutely sure of, it is that the phone was in the holder Blue-toothed to the stereo and not being fiddled with.

Thanks.
She called me and said that the car was a mess but that she was OK, therefore I was not a complete mental wreck when I arrived at the scene.

That'll buff right out.


Glad she's okay.
Thanks. She was lucky.
As far as buffing out... that might take a long weekend of buffing!

Get a commercial buffer, like this:



Fix you right up. Make that car shine like a diamond in a goat's backside.

That is very good to hear. Good to know you have passed on some smarts to your offspring.

Are we talking weight...?
I'm 5'10" and just under 160 pounds - apparently normal for my age is under 130lbs, but only 5'8"...
Anyways, it's all muscle.

Delicious looking.
Meant to post some Easter dinner pictures but daughter wrecking the V Dub on Easter morning got my full attention.
As it would. Is she OK? Even if she is, it is a total distraction for the day. Even my daughter's minor scrape, that turned to be fixable by polishing was a big distraction when dealing with it at 10,000 miles.

No funds for K3...
This past Easter morning the VW Rabbit took one for the team and delivered my daughter slightly bruised but otherwise unscratched.
She veered into a ditch, hit a culvert and flipped 3 or 4 times, missing a utility pole by mere feet.
Wow. The rabbit is gone. Good she got with small injury. I have seen people after things like that. Those with seat belt climbed out, those without spent months getting repairs.

Driving while tired, can be scary, at any time of day.

In Australia there would probably be no penalty for that because no one else was injured. The costs and inconvenience such as insurance premium increase for a few years would be considered enough penalty and educative reminder. Saves them the cost of legally enforceable investigation.

You'd be surprised how much of a workout playing the bagpipes is...

Fatigued driving is considered impaired driving in the US now. No different than drunk driving.
