I didn't you all about poor Bonny (my car). The Tuesday before Christmas I had to stop off at the local CVS to pick up a perscription. I realized I had forgotten to get some ketchup so I thought I would go into SweetBay (grocery store) to get some.
Next thing I know they are paging someone driving a 4 door Ford SUV to come to the front desk. I though I had forgotten to put her in park or something like that. It was a lady with a bunch of kids who was nice enough to admit that she had swung into the parking space next to me and didn't notice that there was a shopping cart there.
Her truck hit the cart and rammed it into Bonnys rear passenger door.
She gave me her insurance info and long story short--she did $1,200 worth of damage. They can't even save the door--I'll have to have a new one.
I'll take Bonny in on Monday to the repair shop. With the Holidays, they couldn't get the parts right away.
I felt really bad for the lady. She had about 4 kids with her and she said her husband has cancer and had kemo (spelling?) that morning. He was so sick she was trying to just get him something to settle his stomach.
I totally understood how she could have had that happen. I wish I could have let her go but I don't have the money (even with insurance) to fix that big of a problem. If it had just been a scratch, I would have.
BTW, not to brag but after 5 years, Bonny still only has 27,000 miles on her. When I take her places to be worked on, no one can believe it.
