Crash

I hate car accidents.
I haven't been in many. Today was my second one, and it was definitely my fault. Something about it makes me feel like a failure and a stereotypical female driver. I usually object so strongly to that stereotype, because I heard somewhere that insurance rates are higher for young males than females.

But the fact remains... today's accident was my fault.

Thank goodness for good insurance companies (thank you, USAA), gracious drivers, a close-by car rental place, and a really helpful, supportive husband.

I'm fine. Not sure about the car yet.

  1. oh, so sorry, Kimie. Not fun at all. Your husband must not hold it to be that big a deal, though. When I spoke with him today and asked how you are he told me some about work, and home, etc, but I had no idea about your bad day with the car... must have not crossed his mind. Hope the rest of the week is tons better. Happy 4th!

  3. Kimie,
    I'm sorry abou the car. I know saying this doesn't help with the female driver stereotype, but I have never had a car look so good after a crash. We Pruessners tend to total the cars, so I'm pretty impressed at the lack of damage :)
    I hope everything gets resolved quickly.
