Crunch!

In order to keep us humble and dependent on Him, God blesses us with children.  Eventually those children grow up to become demolition derby drivers.  About two months ago, our son got hit by a deer.  The poor animal ran into the back of the car.  I do not know what became of the  deer, but I am wondering how come my car cannot out run a deer?!  This happened on Transit too!  Can’t a deer at least stick to the back roads?

Then our daughter spun out on the 190 this week.  Yes, she is fine, just a little sore.  Thankfully she didn’t hit another car.  It was probably quite scary.  I am thankful no one was hurt.  Still, I have the question, how can you not hit another vehicle and still manage to total my car?!  Evidently, when you hit something while in a spin, it gives objects a chance to hit the car on every side!   It was our Saturn that was made out of plastic and then some more plastic.

Have you seen those commercials where they build a car around a person and there is just an engine and some seats?  That is what my car now looks like.  Fortunately we just renewed the registration and did some work on it before it was totaled.  When I walked into Carrubba, they said, “Hi Mr. Whited.”  It is not encouraging when the body shop knows your name.  Still, I will give a plug for them.  They have been great to work with.

Now I am back in the market for a car.  I am open to suggestions.
