:-( I posted this in the Chick Thread so for those you already saw it, sorry for the dupe!
Sorry for not commenting on everyone's journals lately. I have been reading, just not posting. Things haven't been going good for me the last few days.
I had a blow out Thursday night and hit a pothole/really the side of a road with no shoulder and bent the rim of the tire. Also did more damage to it underneath per the insurance adjuster and the air bag (the side one out of the seat on the driver's side) went off so they have to consider the car totaled. They are paying more than I owe but have to find a new car now.
That's why it could be worse, they could have paid less than I owed! Keeping it positive I guess. I have a rental til Friday and have to figure out how to get my Dad's truck from him which he will loan me til I can get something.
I am slowly getting over it. I can't talk about it without crying. I know it was just a car and it could have been worse - like I could have hit someone else or flipped or ending up in a ditch. It was pretty scary but it seems I have forgotten about that part. I really hoped they could fix it but with the deployed air bag - they say they have to total it out.
I have no idea what to get. I HATE dealing with car salesmen and I am terrified of getting a crappy used car and having it break down. I know that's silly but still. I will use my dad's truck (the one I had before this car) and drive that til I figure it out. Any idea what I should get and where to start looking? Thanks in advance! Hope everyone is doing well.
Here are pics of my car - may she RUST IN PEACE!
