Took one on the Chin

My lovely Pearl took one to the Chin today. Some crazy lady in a Jeep Cherokee backed into us at a Stop sign and tatooed her tow hitch right in the middle of Pearl's front bumper

Bummer. Sometimes it's tough to be the little guy.

I think a better question is: Why in the world wasn't she looking back when she put it in reverse?!

Sorry to hear about your chin.

She started to pull out onto the road, but decided it wasnt a good idea, when she started pulling forward I let off the brake and started rolling foward. i stopped when she started backing up and she didnt.

Sorry to hear about Pearl.

The same thing happened to me when I was still driving the minivan, except it was a Mercedes...punk teenage kid who had the stereo up so loudly that he didn't hear me frantically honking my horn!

Bummer to hear. Did she stop to see what she had done?

The road is full of jacka*ses. Becky almost had that happen to her this morning. We leave at the same time, and some lady in front of her in leaving the apartment parking lot, decided she was too far out into the street, and wanted to back-up. Now, there's two cars behind this twit. Becky was honking, and fortunately the other woman stopped in time.
