Last Saturday, I was off but needed to go to work to meet a client about euthanizing their dog. She had come in the day before in a semi-comatose state and had not improved. Anyway, I was laying in bed regretting having made these arrangements when I get a text from Joe that said 'I wrecked the Jeep'. Nothing more. So I get up and hear the phone ring while I'm in the bathroom. I figure he rearended someone, was rearended or hit a deer. I call him back and a stranger answered. Joe had handed the phone off to him, an ambulance was on the way. Where the accident was wasn't too far away so I drove up there as they were closing the ambulance doors. I followed to the hospital and Joe was fine.
The Jeep was not. The insurance company ended up totaling it out. We got the money on Friday. State Farm is pretty quick. Today, we bought the car below. It's a decent car and we got a fair deal. Unfortunately, the check engine light came on on the way home. Oh well.
