I am only on the hook for my deductible ($500) and a rental car. I just cancelled my "rental Car insurance" two months ago! $H!T!!!! F!@K! Like I need this aggravation now, but my insurance agent seemed to be really on the ball when I called. Another log on the fire! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> WNB 43yr old FWH who has rediscovered morality Divorced: 03 February 2006 XW: My threads say it all "Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life..."

Luckily no one was injured...I apologized profusely to my two "victims" and owned up to the police when they got there. The officer said I'll lilkely wind up in Traffic School ($74) and, when I present the "graduation" certificate to the court, the ticket will be expunged. I HAVE to play the cards I am dealt...whether I like them or not. 43yr old FWH who has rediscovered morality Divorced: 03 February 2006 XW: My threads say it all "Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life..."

She seemed genuinely concerned and was glad that I was OK. Not reading a lot into that yet...friends can also feel the same things.

The last time I did this competition, the D-Day e-mail was waiting for me at home! I am going to shoot again next week, but if something bad happens for a 3rd time, I am NEVER going back there again!!!! WRT this latest ticket, I was caught not paying attention AGAIN!!...I need a vacation! Adding insult to injury, my insurance company called and the guy I hit in my accident on Tuesday went to the Dr. with "neck pain"...I hope he doesn't have a shyster attorney telling him what to do. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Too much bad $h!t happening to me right now...I feel like I am cursed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I will be OVERLY cautious in ALL undertakings!!!

In October - the month my divorce was final - I hit a car - like you thinking too much and I drove into the side of a full sized pick up - lucikly not too much damage done - around $1,000 to my vehicle. But this full sized pick up that I hit just in front of the drivers door supposedly had $800 worth of Mechanical damage??? I hit it with a buick century? I never did hear what happened. Anyway - sorry about your accident and speeding ticket.
