• My Car... LOL

  

  Went to get new tires for my car today, Thought I'd get a decent deal for it if I went on base at work. So I started heading my way over there. Was about to pass the building of where I work when I see the green lig-
  SKADOOSH 
  I get rear ended by some dude with people packed in his car. I laughed.. at the luck of my poor baby. A popped tire 2 days ago and then I get rear ended.... on top of all that.. I was on the way of repairing the tires LOL. Someone is out for me. 

  [Short Story]
  I got the the guys cell phone number... but.. I forgot the rest of his information HAHAHA. in the end he was a good guy and complied with all the proper procedures making life easy for me. LUCKILY. Good first time to be in a accident so I know better now what to do for next time. 

  [OPTIONAL! Long Story]
  Turned into the parking lot and the car fallowed me. Parked and went outside to check out the damage. Nothing too crazy.. a crack on the bumper and some scratches. The guy got out of the car and started apologizing thoroughly. I almost felt bad. He was in uniform and I looked at his rank and he was just a Airmen (E-2). Poor guy, he must've just checked into the Airforce, Just got the car, probably scared shitless lol, I wonder what rank he thought I was since I was in civilian clothes lol. The typical new guys are always really formal which was nice. His hands were shaking and I was telling him to calm down. I told him I'd need his phone number so we exchanged them. He said he was in a hurry that's why he wasn't paying attention to my car when he hit. He also said he'd fix it, I asked him if he was gonna call his insurance people and said he was, so I told him i'd probably do the same for mine as well 
       Got into the tire shop and they said they'd start on it right away. In the mean while, I was talking to people about what happenned and I just realized something.... I didn't take a picture of the collision.. Nor did I get his license plate.. or his name.. or his insurance policy number HAHAHA. That's when I started getting a little worried. I believed the kid was going to be honest about the situation so I was not worried... too much. Waited till I got out of base to call the guy up wondering what he did so far, and yes, thank god. He called the insurance company and said they'd call me soon about the info. Pish Pash. All good to go.

   

  THINGS I LEARNED THIS TIME:
  When you get into a accident. Make sure you do the following:
  •exchange insurance policy information (policy number, company), 
  •get his/her full name
  •get his/her license plate
  •get his/her license number 
  •exchange phone numbers
  •call the police and definitely get a police report number  

  All I did was get his name and number XD. What a learning experience this week has been. 

  I did talk to my dad about the situation and asked me if the damage was even that big of a deal. It wasn't really, He told me to be good and maybe keep it hush hush from the Insurance Companies. Do the guy a favor... It's too bad, by the time I called to see if he wanted to do it, he already made the claim. I would've kept the money for camera gear anyway.. LOL it's better that way. Poor Car.. Definitely gonna have to give it some love this weekend.
