    yeah, this sucked.

    I work at a truck accessories shop. That bus was getting some lettering done. The customer had parked it at 8am. I parked at the other side of the parking lot (downhill mind you) at 10am. At 10:30am, I heard crunch. The bus just randomly started rolling backwards, and hit my car.

    It was parked, no one in it, and the trans decided to fail, and roll down a hill, and hit my car. I wonder if my car is totaled. It bent the bumper, bumper bracket, and frame of the bus that hit me. my car also took some serious damage.

    more to come.

    I won't know more till tuesday. But it did some serious damage to my C-pillar. There are wrinkles about 3/4 of the way up the c-pillar. Even the gap on the passenger door looks less than on the drivers side, but I could have imagined it.



    something odd, it seems to have poped the rear window seal off the window. Its odd. It doesn't feel like its loose, but it looks like it.

    This didn't use to be here.

    Actually, it pushed my car about 1.5ft foward. I wonder if it hurt my trans?

    the owner of the body shop called and said he could swing it either way. Apparently the owner of the bus told his insurance company, it was for sure totaled.

    I have been wanting a new toyota tacoma or something.

    That'll buff right out. Get some mother's wax on there.

    I think I also deserve to be compensated in the wreck since seeing those pics reminded me of a traumatic wreck I was once in and now I am unable to perform my job function properly at work. I accept paypal/checks/money order/cash.
