I got out of the car, looked at it and let him go with a few choice words.... but I definitely had words

I just remembered I had someone run into me once at an Office Depot, back when I had my Mazda. I was backing out and they ran right into me, scuffed my back bumper... guy didnt have insurance or had a warrant or something, offered me $100 to let it go (my car was kinda crappy) so I took him up on the offer.

Yeah I was definitely prepared to try and make a cash settlement on the spot as I did the last time. Cost me $600 last time.... well, not on the spot, but after she got an estimate at my shop.

Ouch.

I've never officially been in a wreck. (knock on wood)

[00accord44]

Lets see now...

Wreck #1 (2001)
94 Accord 5spd Totaled when lady driving 88 Bonneville pokes out from the alley shortly after a fresh snow. Insurance gave $9500 which led to the purchase of the next wreck


Wreck #2 (2004)
00 Accord 5spd front end smashed when shit kid in Chevy S-10 busts a left turn right across my lane (for absolutely no good reason btw). Insurance covered the repair to the tune of $3500 I believe. The 00 got plenty dinged up by assholes in Tallahassee that don't know how to operate a vehicle, sober or otherwise (a lot of otherwise down there)

The 00 survived long enough for me to sell it (I still miss my baby) and get the subject of the next few fender benders I've had over the last four years.

Bender #1 (2013 April)
Kenny Powers at the wheel, cut around some ass taking 5 years to make a turn, cutting off a car in the process
$600 to fix her car
$1,000 to fix mine

Bender #2 (2013 May)
On a pharmaceutical run, cut it too close on a parked car and scuffed the bumper.
$250 to clean the bumper back up
No, I did not leave a note on the other car as its bumper was already dented and scraped up before I got there. I doubt they noticed.

Bender #3 (2013 Friday)
Kenny Powers last stand

It exists, and my current "guy" does deliver depending on what side of town you're on. In general though, youre most likely meeting your guy (or girl in some cases) at their spot or some other spot.

I actually might be the oldest of the three oldest in this thread. I'll be 33 in February.

Also, I'm somewhat excited about this show, I haven't watched the Pilot yet, but I like John Goodman and a good stab at political satire. I believe its also the first show to be put out by Amazon.


Remember back in the day when you got some channels with satellite, and different channels on cable? I wander if that's how its going to end up with Netflix and Amazon both producing their own shows now? I don't have Netflix anymore, but I do use Amazon Prime, which has a pretty good selection of streaming TV shows, and they even offer the newest shows- expect you have to pay for them. But its better than waiting 20 years for them to show up on Netflix. I hear YouTube will soon be entering that realm also, by end of year they are launching their paid music subscription service, then I read they plan to offer movies and tv shows much like Netflix also- which I think with Youtube/Googles mighty swing might trump them all in terms of being able to acquire rights to show certain things (becoming a large issue for Netflix). All of this while I'm still paying $140/mo for bumbled mid grade HD DVR cable, and 25meg internet.


Meh, I need to spend less.

Also... I killed a quarter in two days over the weekend, so I decided I should lay off for a while. Apparently what I meant was "lay off until I get off work and buy some more"... because that what happened.

HA! I never even put the link to the show on amazon that sparked all of this.
