Cars hate me. Apparently.

Yet another bad car accident today. There is at least a chance that the car isn't completely totaled this time; nonetheless, I am done with black Priuses, as something about them seems to attract drivers who just don't seem to notice that there is a CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM

My mom has a similar kind of luck, where other people keep hitting her car. She also owns two houses and rents one, and there's always some emergency at one or the other of them. And if anything can go wrong with her health, it will. She took up motorcycle lessons and I immediately worried how bad the shit would hit the fan. Thank goodness it happened at 5mph during training, but she still had to spend a night in the emergency room. The sad thing is this is normal for her and she doesn't seem to get how much more often the world screws her than other people. The wonderful thing is it put her off motorcycle lessons before somebody killed her.

So it sounds like you two were born under the same star or something - I really feel for you.

Glad to hear you're ok! Fast healing and all that good stuff.

Ugh, that sounds like an awful experience. I hope you continue to be unharmed by this and that you beat back that cloud that keeps wanting to rain on your parade.

Yuck. I am so sorry to hear about this.

I would recommend a bright yellow car. Hard to miss seeing, so easy to miss hitting...

Yep, I like the idea of a bright yellow car too. Pity that the US car industry has been gravitating so strongly towards monochrome cars - hard to find a color "off the rack" brighter than a dark red.

I'm glad you're OK, hon. I'm thinking whatever car color you go with in the future should be from the flourescent palette.
