Well this is REALLY painful to talk about, but i have to get it out. I think this is goodbye for the yellow 3 bird.
Yes it was a bad crash. It happened yesterday afternoon. The other car involved was definitely totaled, but no one cared because it was a piece of crap. It's on the fence about my car, but i'm willing to say it's prolly finished because i need to start coming to terms with it.
I was leaving University mall making a left turn in the rain...i don't know if they were speeding, but it really seemed that way because my car can make it across so swiftly and they hit me long before i got there. Either way, there's no way to prove they were speeding so of course i take the fall in this situation.
It's so sad because 90% of the car looks just fine. They hit me in the left headlight and everything inside my car got thrown against the left side door, including me. I hit my head and was pretty disoriented for a minute, and i have bruises on other parts of my body, and of course my neck is killing me this morning. Thanks to the fucking unrespondant airbags my head hit that area where the window meets the bottom of the door. It happened so fast i was so confused.
I got out and i was so confused about what happened i went to the back of my car looking for damage, where there wasn't any. I didn't think it was possible that they hit me that fast and got the front, but that they did. The engine fell out, my wheel is turned inward, and it was stuck in drive and the key was stuck in the ignition and wouldn't come out. Pieces of my car were splitting under the other cars driving by. I was like "that was my grill...that was my turn signal....this can't be happening."
And it was pouring down rain. My Uggs got soaked because my umbrella fucking broke in the crash. The police thought it wasn't totaled, but the tow truck driver thought it was. He told me this as he was pulling my baby onto his truck, and i had to sob. My boyfriend had just arrived and he later told me that i was crying like someone had died. I feel like someone has...
This just really sucks because i'm losing a big part of who i am. This car represented me so perfectly, everyone always said so. It drove beautifully without being an impractical gas guzzler. It survived hitting a deer and some other fender benders that were other people's fault. And now this, the beautiful relationship with my car abruptly ends, on a lousy saturday afternoon in the pouring rain.
I was just about to wash her again, i was about to get her so clean. I was about to put a sharkfin on her, and get ipod integration. I was so looking forward to these things, and now all i can probably look forward to is getting a brand new honda civic (the parents want to do this) which isn't half the fucking car my yellow was even at age 3. I guess it will be a long time before i can own a car i truly love again, and it really pains me.
I don't find out until monday or so whether it's fixable for not.
Anyway, wish me luck, and thx for listening.
