Good...then Bad week

Just to share a little story of what happened to me this week with my car...

Went to see a friend in D.C. from R.I. Had a great drive there and back...1000 miles in three days was fun, since I live in the smallest state. She ran great!

Then the day I get back to work, some lady turns a sharp right from the left lane. I was right next to her, and she was trying to pull into a parking lot. Stupid lady forgot that it was a two lane road. F'ed up the whole drivers side of the car from the front fender where it meets the door, all the way back to my rear bumper...btw, the bumper is less than two weeks old, just put on a new one...

Then when I was enjoying the awesome 60 degree weather yesterday (remember you people in the south...this is New England), I had my sunroof open...and a bird shit dead center and hit my center console.

Now you can all laugh at me...go ahead...

Sorry about the side of your car, but that is probably the funniest thing i have heard.

Fly, Fly, Fly little starling... Don't tell Ayougo about the bird shit... You know how he hates birds... I mean it's one thing to shit on the paint, clearly another to shit in the car. WOW, by the bird.

I hope that bitch that crashed into you had good insurance.

Wasn't the New England weather nice this week? I'm from Ledyard, CT, 10 minutes from the RI border on the south side. I've been worried about the bird crap for a while, especially in the CL. I've been driving my Jeep around doorless/topless for two years, so I've caught more than my share of well-aimed bird droppings.

Thanks for the laughs guys! I enjoyed them actually.

But One "f" ing week later, literally the same thing happended again, and my front bumber, driver headlight, hood, and driver fender and alarm siren needs to be replaced. Basically, everything will be new on the body, expect the roof, and right passenger side.

I may half to sell it now...we'll see.

Damn...The bird wasn't lucky, it made it worse...
