to doesn't matter now
My mum was going to have a chat with cdn tire yesterday but now it doesn't matter; why? because my Lex is in the body shop for something else
NEW STORY (i really wish i didn't have a new story)
Yesterday I wasn't going to go to class, I was going to skip and go to the beach and man oh man do I wish I'd done that.
Driving around B-lot looking for parking (parking lot speed) and I'm about to turn into the next isle when an older grey Mitsubishi Lancer gunned it in off the roadway into the parking lot (if we remember when wee took photos at the meet and how the road and parking lot gos there ar the top entrance). So I breaked hard and cranked my wheel to the left hoping to avoid having right side smushed in and I found my left front corned in the bumper of a Grey Nissan 350Z.
The damage isn't serious and no one was hurt becuase everyone (except the Lancer) was going slow parking lot speed. The Nissan and I echanged info and he drove his car home (or where ever) and I had mine toed on a flat deck to my body shop. As for the Mitsubishi, all we have from him is his first name and cell phone number because he definately didn't stick around. It seems like he knows he was going way to fast into B-lot.
Here's the issue: in BC (I don't know how many of you know this, because I didn't for the longest time) if Car A causes an accedent between Car B and Car C, even if Car A isn't involved, Car A is still somewhat at fault. Now, because this was just before class, no one really stuck around because they needed to go learn things, and I didn't grab someone who may have seen the whole thing fast enough.
Here's a plea: if you or someone you know saw this instance, please shoot me a pm, because right now it all looks like my fault . You/they wont need to even talk to ICBC, I have a lawyer who handles things for me so all you/then would need to do is give my lawyer a statement over the phone and because you issued a statment through a lawyer ICBC would not be able to contact you directly (reduction of hassle and concern you/they might have).
Thanks everybody ... I'm so upset ... my poor car
Lesson: being responsible will screw you over. Last time I was responsible and went to class even though I really didn't want to I had the issue with the pothole in Surrey

it's on the driver's side bumper... i racked my brain thinking where i could've rubbed it cuz i'd been in some tight parking places that morning but looking at the scratch it was impossible for me to have done it myself... the only conclusion is that someone tried to parallel park behind me and turned early and bumped into my car and the rub is... icbc estimates $315 to repair... deductible is $300 WTF

ok, today they finally started work on my car ... cost to fix things is nearly $6k ... and just in case anyone was wondering how much one headlight costs, it's $17xx for one (so dont mess up your lights guys!)... and fogs are $4xx per light
i got to pick up the courtesy car, and i will now open the floor for people to guess what i'm getting around in ... and i can tell ya, thats all its good for, getting around.
*sigh* i'm going to study stats now ... this whole thing just drives me insane and causes me so much stress ... i cant get over how being responsible and NOT skipping class and then taking DEFENCIVE action when confronted w. a hazzardous situation has caused me this many problems
