Unhappy How was your day???

So got up today and when to take my sister to the train station truck fished taled got it back. Thank you ice. Than came home from school it was snowing was backing up my drive way silde in the snow broke my tow mirror on my passenger side of the truck on a tree and took off some paint. Than at about 5:55 I going to the fire station there was about 3-5 inches of snow on the ground and some lady stoped she missed her drive way and was wating for cars to pass. I was sliding and was about 20-30ft behind her and blew the horn and kept on it! She sat there and I hit her. There was NO one in front of her and she sat there!!! So I hit her bumper has a small crack in it and my front bumpher is F!@%ED big time. There is a hugh dent in it and the hole thing is cocked! I just wonder how much it is going to cost to get her ford explorer fixed??? So how was your day?

If you do the work yourself, you'll spend less than $400 to fix your front bumper. I did all of mine for about $350 using new aftermarket parts I found locally.

Around six months-ish ago, I slid in rain covered street into the back of a little 1980s Toyota POS car. Thought the guy had a head injury, the way he was talking, and how delayed he responded to the officer's questions, but nope, just turns out he's really "slow in the head".

He evidently didn't know that you are supposed to use your brakes when someone rear ends you. His car rolled two full car lengths up and into a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500, who happened to have a ball trailer hitch that destroyed the car's front grille and hood. He didn't slide... his car ROLLED forward (I saw the wheels turning) the entire way. Made me so angry, and the cop didn't understand either, so I just dropped it. I took responsibility for the accident with the car straight away, but the truck in front of the car... oh well.

I didn't care about the guy's Toyota since he was OK, I was really sad/mad that the 2006 Ram had gotten hit.
