Rendevous with a Bucket Truck
It’s like this. I was driving somewhere I don’t normally drive at a time I’m not normally driving. And I was commandeering my big a## truck mothership down the smallest, tightest, most poorly designed street where apparently everyone and their mother parks. Imagine if you will, on this smallest of small streets a huge bucket truck. And me. Let’s just say in order to avoid colliding with another car coming at me, I choose the bucket truck. It just looks like the better option, doesn’t it?Well, sparing all the boring details, I was shaken up a little. Friends & eFriends alike sent messages wishing me well. Progressive is (so far) being the most awesome insurance company I could ever hope for. They reserved a rental car for me, as well as finding an auto body shop with a 100% guarantee.And my big a## truck mothership looks like it was attacked with a massive can opener. The side panels are totally exposed. Completely open.I, however, am fine, as are all the vehicle occupants. And that is the most important part of this story.
Did this just happen? I’m glad you’re ok.
I don’t like cars and am so glad that I don’t drive.

Yeah – it happened yesterday. I just got off the phone with progressive and found out it was totalled. So – no more car….
I have gap insurance but I’m just hoping the car was worth more than what I owe. Otherwise, it’s going to be very hard to find transportation in the next few weeks…
I’m glad you decided to go with the least resistance and steer for the softest thing you could. Besides, who knows what that Dodge Neon would have done if you hit that
I’m just messing with you. I am glad you are ok and so are the other occupants of the car. What kind of car were you driving? If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Thanks for the concern! I was driving an Expedition so, even though I would have been less damaged had I gone the other route, the little bitty car coming at me would have been much mangled. And they probably will never know the trouble I saved them.
Glad to hear you & your passengers are okay! Must have been some impact to total your expedition!
