At the end of April, I was in a car accident. It was very minor and completely my fault. The car in front of me was going to turn left and accelerated to do so and then hit her brakes when the car she was waiting on didn't do what she had thought, and I was unable to hit my brakes fast enough to keep from hitting her. We were all fine, besides being a little stunned! I hadn't been in an accident since high school, and to have the boys in the car was even more unnerving, but everything and everyone was able to drive away.
The next day I had my car looked at and they gave me an estimate. The repair shop couldn't get me in for two weeks so I just continued to drive it. Once it was in the shop, they called and said there was extensive damage under the hood and the insurance guy would contact me soon. Sure enough, the insurance man called and they were going to have to total it. I was shocked! I was driving it!! It was a fender bender going no more than 15 mph! Everything appeared to be ok!! But, he said there was damage to the frame, radiator and transmission, so that was that.
Here is a picture of the damages
So I had to clean out my car, mail in the title and keys and wait for a check. Luckily, I know a great guy that goes to my church who sells cars and who I trust completely. He had a few picked out for me to choose from given the criteria I gave him and I found two that I liked. I then consulted my dad and narrowed it down to "the one!" (Don't you wish choosing a man were that easy) Once the check came in the mail, I was signing papers and an hour later driving off the lot! I am now the proud owner of a Nissan Pathfinder.
HAD to have a third row this time around!
The boys seem to like it a lot and Troy keeps referring to it as our SUV. He couldn't wait to show my dad how the seats fold up and down.
