Welcome To Texas

July 25th, 2007 by John Strunk

So I was rear ended today. Stopped at the light, three cars back and some guy hit me from behind. I saw it coming, had time to think “shit this is going to suck”. He was moving perdy fast when he hit me, at least 30. Hurt like a bitch but from these pictures you prally think I am a wimp. Honestly I think the emergency kit in the truck kept it from crumpling in the back. I love how the guy who hit me told me there wasn’t even a scratch and we should just go. Here are a few photos for your pleasure:

Yeah like I said it doesn’t look like much. Well now the trunk wont close, it doesn’t line up. I had it towed to the body shop cause the lid wouldn’t close and want someone to check nothing else would fall off when driving it. Good thing I did have it towed. When I got to the body shop, car wouldn’t start so it looks like there is a short in the back somewhere too. Once we got it jumped to set into the back lot of the body shop, the computer is now reading all kinds of errors. Looks like my DSC (traction control) is reading an error saying its off line and the computer is reading a slip in the transfer case which it considers “slippery roads”. So that means the transfer case is prally screwed up too now. So I will say that Farmers was pretty cool about helping me, although Enterprise Rent A Car really let me down. They were supposed to call me when I got to the body shop. Welp they didn’t so I called them and the lady was like “OOpps we are closed sorry!”. So I asked the lady if that meant I had to walk home. She said “Sorry about that sir!”. Oh well, good thing Arthur kept me company through the whole thing, waiting the 2 hours for the tow truck, following me there, and then having to take me home. Thank goodness, I almost had to ask la raza and los lobos for a ride home.

I had this car transported from Virginia on truck back, it arrived in perfect pristine condition. Well so I guess I got my battle scars now living in San Antonio and I now fit in with every other car out here with a broken back bumper. So this is the second time I have been rear ended (last time only broke the rear light globe when it was parked), its been hailed on, a thousand scratch and dents on the sides from people hitting it with their doors, a serious water leak into the car through the firewall, and 3rd time I have had to tow this car. Okay Texas, I get it, you hate my car!!
