A note from my extremely kind next-door-neighbor regarding the car I rented over the holidays:<\/p>\n
Hi,<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t know if the police left you a card or case number re: vehicle damage.\u00a0 My wife and I were just coming in from dog walking.\u00a0 An SUV MN license place <redacted> backed into your car (about 7:30 pm Tues.).\u00a0 The guy driving hesitated for a moment then started to drive away.\u00a0 He definitely knew he had hit your car.\u00a0 When he saw me looking at his plate # he made a little intimidating move — driving toward me.\u00a0 Stupid.\u00a0 I called 911, the police came out and talked to us (both of us witnessed it happen), I assume they filed a report.<\/em> Lee<\/em><\/p>\n So, granted, I have worse luck with cars than most.\u00a0 One Christmas I burned out the clutch on a borrowed car two minutes after picking it up, and another time a car’s headlight leapt out of its socket rather than be associated with me.\u00a0 And when I did own a car full-time it was run into (while parked) on a nearly weekly basis.<\/p>\n But, come on!\u00a0 This guy didn’t just hit-and-run my Mazda 3; he threatened to run over my neighbor.<\/strong>\u00a0 This perfectly sums up my feeling about driving.\u00a0 It’s interesting, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes necessary.\u00a0 Pretty much like shooting a rifle.\u00a0 Any random commuter is just as armed and dangerous as a yokel packing heat; the cyclists and pedestrians of the world live in fear of setting them off.\u00a0 I’m sure that when I drive I am just as dangerous, and just as much of a powder-keg, which is why I like to spend a minimum of time behind the wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A note from my extremely kind next-door-neighbor regarding the car I rented over the holidays: Hi, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t know if the police left you a card or case number re: vehicle damage.\u00a0 My wife and I were just coming … Continue reading
