How do you know its going to be a bad day??

Well let me tell you how :roll:

You know its going to be a bad day when you pull into your parking lot for work (with your new vehicle that you have only had for THREE days) and when turning into your spot you cream the side of one of the office supervisors car. :cry: :cry: Yep.. You heard me right.. Thats how I started my day :grr: :grr: Sigh :-(

Oh Chad! That has to hurt, big time. That's just too bad. Brand new car AND your supervisor's car......well, own up to it right now, is the only advice I can give you. But knowing the guy you are, you did already.

So sorry!

Mary

Oh yes Miss Mary I went right in to tell her.. No way I would of done anything different.. She has done nothing but calmed me down and assured me that it is no big deal at all.. She has made it MUCH easier on me because I was extremely upset and like I said she has just been the best about it

Chad - your boss sounds very understanding. And this can happen to anybody! Anyone.....I'm somewhat surprised my teen daughter hasn't done this - knock on wood, jinxing myself here. The car we share is a small Honda Civic but it doesn't have a short turning radius. Not at all. You'd think it would too. You were probably not used to your new car's turning radius?

I guess it's a good thing you got an explorer rather than an expedition or you might have totalled her car!

Chad, hang in there buddy. Training wheels would make the turning radius even wider wouldn't it?? That's not a good idea Marshall.

A wise person once told me that when you get a new car you should take it home and take a sledge hammer to it immediately. That takes away the initial shock of a fender bender. I had my new Subaru for 1 week when a lady creamed into me. Not fun.

((Hugs)) my friend

It could have been worse. You could have run into my car, which seems to cost $2000 or more every time I get bumped by someone in the parking lot. :)
