So, this weekend was a little more exciting than most. This happened...
Don't worry, no one got hurt though I was tempted to attack the other driver before cooler heads (i.e., Marilu) prevailed.
The story, in a nutshell: on Friday night, we went to see Pro Bull Riding downtown with my mom and Kevin, who were up visiting for the weekend. Afterwards, we dropped them off at their hotel with Lucas, who (luckily) was staying with them. We were literally about 2 blocks from our house when some dumbass tried to make a left in front of us and despite Marilu's best efforts, we slammed head on into the side of his card. Luckily, we hadn't even reached the speed limit yet or it could have been worse. Heck, the airbags didn't even go off.
Anyway, we called the cops and they came and took our story and pretty much immediately found fault with the other driver. I should mention it was a couple of Indian guys--one who could barely speak English--in a rental car. I don't think they had gotten insurance on it so it gives a warm feeling to think he's going to end up owing a lot out of pocket.
Our insurance will cover everything without costing us a thing, and in the meantime, we've been given a Jeep Grand Cherokee to drive around in so it's not all bad.
In the next post, I'll try and post photos from some less traumatic moments of the weekend.
