Well That Hurt

Published by Kirsten at 7:42 am under Car, Grrr, Health

So yesterday I spent most of the day in front of the computer, then showered, got some dinner, and hung out with some friends. On my way home, way past midnight, I was driving down a road that wasn’t that busy because it’s a business district, and as I approached the intersection, I saw a car spinning around. After viewing this for about 2 seconds I realized he was doing donuts deliberately, so I slowed down and moved as far right as I could to try and avoid him. I thought I was clear but no dice. Because he was still in the moving backwards part of his spin, I couldn’t avoid a collision and ended up hitting him. I hit him head on with my car, making contact with his rear drivers side door. The thing that got me though was that it didn’t even phase him. He drove off, and because of the angle I was at I did not get a tag number on him. Fucking great. So now my car is totaled, airbags went off and all, and the shithead that caused this has vanished into the night. The cop who responded didn’t hold out much hope for finding him, either. Which means that I am out money, because I need to pay my deductible.

As far as me, I’m ok for the most part. My left hand hurts. Last night I thought it was just sprained and refused medical treatment on the scene, except for an ice pack. Now I think there is a possibliity that it is broken, so I’ll be going to get xrays in a little while. The thing that sucks is that I can’t type properly, so blogging might be slim for awhile. Just what I need right now, seriously. But I’m ok, which is the best part.

    Are the cops even trying to look, or did they just say, tough luck?
