I need to vent... [View all]
I took a gig singing in a funeral for $100. It went well enough as funerals go. Then on my way home to my hubby (who hates being left alone) I was stuck in hellish traffic owing to a crash at an interchange. That caused much stopping, lane changing, inability to see what's ahead, UNLESS you're in a big rig. After 45 minutes of what normally takes 5 minutes I arrived at the scene of the accident. Many police cars, wrecked vehicles and cones. Still one couldn't really see what was happening ahead from the dashboard of my Prius. I just knew I wasn't going to allow any more big rigs cut in front of me. So as I try to have no daylight between my car and the car ahead of me, a big rig is suddenly on top of me and I'm being scraped by that thing on the driver's side of our little Prius. A highway patrol guy tells me I was in his lane. But there were no lanes!!! And I was ahead of him! We were just in a creeping stream of cars trying not to lose our minds.
After assessing the "ding", I'm guessing $600 of body work. So much for an extra $100. Anybody know if this kind of dent can be taken care of cheaply?
