My first crash has had at least one fatality: the vehicle I was driving. The damage was enough so that we will be driving it no more.
A bit depressing. We hadn’t had it for that long. Although there were electrical problems that need fixed, a window that didn’t roll up right…
Still, a sad coda to this. Makes me even gladder it wasn’t my fault.
Right now we are functioning with a rented car. More info as warranted. (I know, everyone’s just enthralled with the saga of the damaged vehicle.)
I look at a crashed vehicle the same as a when I have to get a new computer with a different operating system. I have to give up all the familiar settings and precious software that will not work on the new OS. But – there are also certain advantages to moving on. It’s an inevitable part of life tinged with melancholy.
