Wave of Death
Progressive cautioned me to not talk about it with anyone other than my claim agent so of course I'm posting about the spectacular crash!
Yesterday on the way to clogging I T-boned some poor kid who made the unfortunate decision to make a left hand turn without looking into oncoming traffic.
Please note this drawing, which is not to scale:
The good news is it was totally NOT MY FAULT. The bad news is both our cars are damaged. Tomorrow morning I drop off our poor Grand Prix and pick up a rental. Stayed tuned for the next installment of "Will the Claim Go Through Before We Have to Pay Out the $500 Deductible?", but in the mean time, feel free to enjoy "How Much Do I Need Drink Before I Don't See the Crash In My Head?"
I can't imagine the damage if I had been going faster than 35, or if he had a passenger. Gah!
The claim agent was funny, she asked "So he just turned in front of you? what did he say?" and I said "He said someone in the left turn lane stopped for him, and he didn't think to look into the OTHER oncoming lane" and she said "That's why they call it the Wave of Death."
No kidding.

Wave of death! I had not heard that one.
Personally, I'm happily anticipating the next chapter entitled "What Piece of Shit car did they rent me?" :D
