Our Car is back!

After the Accident (sorry the picture is a little bad - I scanned it from the picture taken by the autobody shop):
The picture doesn't quite show all the damage. After the accident, the car would not move an inch, because all the driving mechanisms (I don't know the technical terms), were ruined. The radiator had to be replaced, and pages of other stuff had to be replaced. Apparently Jason hit the steering wheel too, so that was bent and had to be fixed. The air bags never went off though. I think it was because the impact was on the side, and not in the front of the car. I mean, It actually wasn't a bad accident for us as passengers, it just did a lot of damage to the car.

After the car was fixed :



The car seems to be running like new. I am too scared to actually drive it though. Out of all the bad accidents I have been in, all the cars have been totaled so I never had to drive in them again. We are glad to have it back though. It has taken about a month to fix it, and cost a little more than the original estimate. All is well though!!! :) I give a big hand to the auto body guys. (Max Auto body in Pomona in case you ever need to know). They have been around for like 100 years, and do a great job. I don't know how these guys do it, but it seems like magic to be able to put a broken car back together.

Ok, how many accidents have you been in? Maybe you shouldn't drive to San Diego Wednesday. LOL.
But I need your help. How did you do your count down ticker thing? I cant figure it out. I guess I dont have this blogger thing figured out yet.

That is pretty amazing how brand new it looks. I know it can be scary to drive. A few years ago I had two accidents all in one week. I never wanted to drive again!
