So not a MM weekend

[thinklikeajellyfish]

I have a 1999 Honda Accord with 120,000 miles on it, and she's got a lot of time left if people would stop trying to destroy her.

I was side swiped by an out of control police car back in October. We got really lucky that insurance agreed to fix it. Now this weekend someone rear ended me and the trunk is completely crunched in. Grrrr.

So now I'm off to the car rental place, after that the tow yard to pay that bill and then to the body shop. I will get reimbursed for everything, but it's still irritating.

I'll find out today if the damage is repairable or if they will call it totaled.

That stinks!

Oh, yuck. I'm sorry.

FWIW, that happened to me (a city snowplow crunched in my Corolla's trunk) and it was about $1200 to repair.

If it makes you feel any better- Dh's ford Escape with 120K miles on it completely died on Friday --- the engine just went POOF - and would cost $8K to fix... which is silly b/c it's not even worth that much.

So we got an $8K car that is slightly newer, less miles, and a sedan... so better on gas. We didn't have 8K to throw down on a car... but here we are - ugh. So our weekend was very NOT MM for sure.

Booo! I hope it is fixable because that car has a lot of life left. Hondas go foooorreeevveerrr.

And also, I just realized that your car is a 1999. My 2005 Accord has 165k miles on it

Yikes, that sucks! If it were my luck the insurance company with fix my car and then the engine will die a couple of months later. It seems like every time we get to a point that we can start beefing up our e-fund something big happens. Ah well, it is what is is. And there's no use worrying about it until I know if it's totaled or not.

Thanks for the support everyone!
