Well, nothing bad has ever really happened to me on Friday the 13th, but I guess I was particularly unlucky this time….here’s the story
I drove into town at about 10:30, plan was to go hang out with Dave, Megan, and Cory at Cory's house. Then Megan and I were going back to her house to spend the night, cause we both had to work in the morning. I called Dave when I got into town, and met up with him and Megan(they were carpooling), turns out they have to run down to one of Megan's friends houses for like 30 mins, so I tell them to call me when they are done, and then we can go out to Cory's, well a 1/2 hour goes by and I’m still waiting ... so I wait till about 11:30 and then call them....it goes straight to voicemail...and I’m like WTF? So I wait around for another 1/2 hour or so and then drive to Smiths (grocery store) where Steve works night shift, and hang out with him and Curtis till like 1:30, till Steve gets in trouble for not working....at this point I’m a little pissed, plus tired, so I try Dave’s number, then Cory’s house....Cory picks up, and I’m like, is Dave there??? He’s like ya just a sec....Dave picks up the phone, and I’m like "what happened"...he’s like we tried to call you like 10 times honestly....we thought you ditched us....and I’m like...um no, and he’s like, well Megan is coming back to Kalispell, and I’m catching a ride with her, so just meet us at my house...so I’m like ok....
I get back on the road and proceed to drive to Dave’s, I’m going along at like 50mph, when I look in my rearview mirror and I see headlights…I don’t think much of it, then I notice that the car is gaining….fast…. about 1 second later it swerved hard to the right and only clipped me on the right rear side. Then the car proceed to hit a billboard, electrical box, fire hydrant, and then slam through a brick wall, that was the side of a carpet store. I pull over, call Dave and tell him what happened, he’s like, “I’ll be there in a few”….then a lady in a van stops too, we call the cops and wait for them to show up, and in the meantime run over to the car and try to stop the drunk inside from repeatedly trying to start his car again. When the cops showed up, I talked to an officer for like 10min he took my info, and then told me to leave but to come back down to the station at 9 the next night. I walked back over to my car to survey the damage… I was pretty relieved because I only had some pretty good scratches from the taillights to the gas door, but the way he hit me, it clipped my rim and bent the lip over (pics later) so I’m pretty worried that he tweaked the sub frame/suspension of my car….so ya, anybody got a worse story??

I was piss drunk and decided to let my friend drive who was sober, apparently something happened to my car that made the lower rad support and skid plate get smashed up with no cosmetic damage. Oh I was awaken from my passing out having to fix the inner wheel well lining, I am affraid to ask what exactly happened. I dont even want to think about it. I am guessing it really tested toyota quality whatever happened because it still drive fine and runs good, I am affraid to get it put on the lift for an inspection this week. Atleast I can say I didn't drive drunk.

2 years ago in February, on Friday the 13th was when I got my 02 sensor(minor OWI), so that sucked. And this year me and a friend were driving to go party and I smucked a deer, it actually tweaked the front end of my truck pretty good, but the deer was dead, and since we're avid hunters I took it home, gutted it and hung it to clean later. I don't even care about the cosmetic/body damage on my truck, as long as all my lights work and it drives fine we're good to go.
