First accident I was in 5th grade and we were in Brooklyn for my cousin's wedding. My parents and I were in the front seat (Lincoln Towncar... it was legal to sit three in the front) and my aunt, uncle, and 2 lil cousins in the back. It was so rainy out and we were on the highway, people were doing prolly like 30-40mph. There were so many accidents that nite. Anyways so we get slammed from the back, pushed into the next lane over and then hit again. The whole trunk was pushed up. The reason we got hit wasn't cuz it was slippery... some guys followed us from the reception hall because they saw the wedding money bag being put in our trunk. They ran from their car and I duno if they ever got caught. Funny tho cuz my dad was stressed so he lit up a cigarrette. A cop came over and told him there was gasoline on the ground and that he needed to put it out... the same cop a few minutes later was on the side of the highway... smoking!
Six months after I got my license, I took some friends out to eat. My backing up skills still weren't perfected, and I was tryin to keep my Mountaineer from hitting the Camero next to me. I kept backing up... bang. Hit a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The price-- $800 in damage to his car cuz I hit the airbag sensor. I just had a big dent in my trunk.
A few years later, same parking lot, I was backing up in my new Mountaineer that I had gotten that week (we lease cars). Some crackhead came flying thru the parking lot and I hit her. I was flipping out apologizing but she said it was ok cuz I was young and it did no damage to her car. I kept that one from my parents. "What happened to your bumper" "I duno, someone must've hit it in the parking lot".
My 3rd Mountaineer, I decided to back up into a spot at my favorite restaurant. I told my friend to watch so I didn't hit the damn lightpole... I'm goin, goin, goin, CRUNCH. Didn't do much damage, just a lil scratch. The same truck, the day I was returning it to the dealer last week, the guy was telling me where to park it, so I pulled up and heard a crunch again, but thank god he didn't notice! I ended up not gettin my new car, so when I got home I looked at the front bumper and it was pretty scratched.
On to Mountaineer #4... I just got it a few days ago but I'm looking to keep this one scratch free!
