There are time in your life you wish you were in a different spot in the universe. For example, this afternoon, I wish I was not on Main Street stopped in the left lane waiting to turn left. If I was not sitting there thinking of getting a couple of chocolate shakes and a half pound of french fries for Jacob and I, the back of my car would not look like this.

Of course it could be worse. I could have been the one checking music on my Ipod and looked up to see the back of a car in front of me while driving at around 40 miles per hour. That would also be a good time to be somewhere else in the universe. The consequences due to the laws of physics is great.

I guess the other part of this story is cars are designed to be driven as well as designed to crumple.
Oh! My car was hit last week, but not nearly as bad as yours. I hope you guys are OK!
