Car

Well, this time the bad news is personal. My car was wrecked today.

I was at the tail end of a bunch of cars, standing still in lots of traffic on the left lane of the off-ramp of the A4 (Google Maps) when somebody didn’t quite get it that there was quite an amount of traffic, and hit the back of my car.

So now I’m waiting the damage assessment, and we’ll see what the insurer says about that, the car might be totalled.

And the car did exactly what it is supposed to do in a situation like this: protect me. Right now I’ve got nothing - no scratch, pain, neck cramp or whatever.

But you do feel some vague pain in your neck, don’t you? :-) How about a picture of your car?

I am glad that you are uninjured. Please be aware that there is delayed shock in a collision like this and do not be surprised if your health takes a bit of a dip in a couple of weeks time.
Take care, Michael

I know, and I’ll keep an eye on myself. It isn’t the first time somebody mistakes the back of my car for a place to park, and so far I’ve always been lucky…

There is nothing funny in having your car wrecked. You have my sympathy.

Ouch….
But the main thing you are unhurt. Loosing the car is irrelevant in these cases - although annoying, I have to admit.
