It's funny but people do not realize just how cold it really gets in the desert. We are known more for our incredible summer heat but it gets very chilly here in the winter. We do not get much in the way of precipitation but we do get occasional storms. Usually thunderstorms in summer. Anyway, when it gets cold, we do see some snow but it is rare. We had a big storm come through just before Christmas and had a big snow. Everybody went crazy! They were acting like it was some major event! They even had the nerve to CLOSE the friggin schools!!!! The funny part is, the day they closed them, it was CLEAR and SUNNY!!! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Just a stupid publicity stunt to keep us "in the news". I suppose I should not be surprised that you heard about it.

I see... That is a lot of damage... Tho 5000$ still seems too much. But since the insurance company covers it... Its ok. It would be nice if people would chill out when they are driving, tho. Specialy in this weather.
Btw. Vegas was on our news the other day. Supposedly, you guys havent had snow in decades, or what?

From what I can tell, she took the corner in front of my house a bit too fast and rear-ended it! Mashed in the driver's side taillight and rear quarter panel! The trunk was a bit buckled as well. Then she took off! By the time I noticed it, there was no one around! She hit it so hard my car was turned nearly sideways!!!

Umm... On second thought, keep it. On the house. The way you are you would probably want to go with a luxury ship instead of a plane...
Seriously tho, its nice to hear that that particular incident turned out allright. 5000$.... What on earth did she do to your car?

Thank you all. It was a bit of a surprise to say the least. I mean, it happened on New Year's Eve! According to her insurance company, she called it in the next day but I did not see any notes on the car over the weekend. In any event, I am grateful. The shop called me yesterday afternoon and said the repairs will take about two weeks and run almost $5,000 !!! YIKES! The Princess is already in "love" with the rental we have ( A little SUV) so I am getting heat about buying her one! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um...strat...the check's in the mail...HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!! |
