I wrote this email to a fiend of mine and I think it's worth sharing here :
so yeah don't think I told you but I was coming back from lunch on Friday and I was really stressed cause we had this stupid deadline.... and this guy I work with just backs into me as I was pulling into the parking lot! nothing huge other than the dent on my passenger side rear door. which his insurance is going to fix.
also my car's breaks were metal on metal, which I caught just in time, so it only cost me $165... the dent happend on Friday and then over the weekend the scraping of the breaks (which had been progressing) was starting to finally scare me.
on top of that my car was sooo dirty everyone at work was looking at the dent like "wow big dent - and your car is filthy!"... I took the car to get the damage appraised and the woman at the bodyshop gave me the estimate and after the fact I noticed "color: grey" yeah - time to wash the fucker. my car is BLACK not GREY.... so I spent $3 to run it through the car wash...
On top of THAT I peeled part of the fake plastic chrome off my door handle beacuse it somehow developed a sharp edge and sliced my finger once when I was getting out of my car. serioulsy, I bled.
and I have a small dent on my windshield from a rock hitting it.... and of course the garage door that fell on my car and broke off the antenna...
*and* it needs a 30k mile service bad cause last time I got the oil changed (like 3000 miles ago) they showed me that my transmission fluid was balck (it should be this light pinkish color)
so yeah I just feel like I have the biggest piece of shit car ever.... even tho I don't really.
I think my car is depressing me. Altho breaks and a wash have been a good start twords making me feel better.
