Hello,
So, I just feel like sharing this because it made me laugh, and hopefully it will make someone else chuckle a bit too.
So, my sister drives a dodge shadow, and a couple of months ago she went to go to school and saw that a tree had fallen on her car. It wasn't a big tree, but it wasn't a shrub either. There was a HUGE circular dent in the roof, it was DEEP too, but not deep enough that she couldn't drive it since she is on the shorter side.
When she was driving down the road people look at her like lady. It's pretty comical, when I had to ride with her I had to duck down a lot, I could barely fit inside. She reported it to insurance and all that, she (well my parents, since she's 22) has really good insurance, and recently the city sent her a check for a considerable amount (when you take into factor that the car is hardly worth anything) because Fort Wayne is 6 years behind in cutting down the trees. She came to see us recently, and my dad banged out the dent about halfway which was all he could do.
It's really funny to see the way people look at you when you have a giant dent in your roof, and she goes to get in her car and there is all kinds of animals swimming in the rainwater, the dent is big enough to give a bath to a tiny dog, we found that out.
So now she has a car, AND A POOL, AND A MINI ICE RINK, AND A SECOND GLOVE COMPARTMENT!
lol. It's actually really soothing to soak your cold hands in water that has been heated from the sun.
AND SHE'S ALWAYS WANTED TO CARPOOL! ha, I wonder if she could drive in the carpool lane now....
Now she has a chubby check from the city, and she's going to pay down some student loans.
But its funny because that car is like a money maker! She's made more money off of the car than she paid for the car! She said someone rear ended her putting a huge dent in the bumper, and she took a picture of it and mailed it to the insurance company and they sent her a check for the amount it would cost to replace the bumper. I don't really know how that would work, but she never replaced the bumper and she paid the mortgage instead, but it's amazing what a simple (new) toilet plunger can do for a car!
Someone else's car door bashed into hers too, and (cha-ching $) a new microwave.
I didn't know you could do that, but it seems fair.
I wish I still had pictures, but sadly I deleted them. They were really funny pictures.
Just thought it was a funny story!
