Prodigal Son
I had my first car accident on November 16, 2008. Insurance experts agree that based on the estimate of repairs for the damage I may have to get a total write-off. This means the accident was pretty bad. Without counting the cost of the airbag and associated parts (my airbag was deployed) the estimate is already at 508k. Bear in mind that the vehicle is valued at 670k, hence it is like buying another vehicle.
In anticipation of the write-off I have already begun to make checks on varied other vehicles. I need to have a vehicle, it is practically a job requirement. My ideal vehicle would be a Suzuki Grand Vitara, perhaps 2004 or 2005. I don’t know if I can afford that. I don’t want to make any more monthly payments than I currently make. Perhaps I will end up buying a car but a man can dream.
Admittedly I have become more contemplative since the event. I have been agressively pursuing projects that I was only just thinking about. To be fair I don’t fear death. I am afraid of torture and suffering but not the finality of death. I normally believed that if I die that is the end but lately I have had a real longing to ensure that if I go my mom is in a better stead. More on this later.

Yeah. I am glad I am OK too. I was driving along and an illegal taxi turned across my path. Unfortunately he made the decision late and though I applied my brakes and sounded my horn we collided.
