Who's not having a great week?

Me! Here's the story. I was in a fender bender a few weeks ago and had the car fixed and back last friday. It turns out the body shop did a crap job so I had to take the car to the claims adjuster and get it checked out. About 10 minutes later I got hit again on the freeway by some punk :mad: who was going to fast and swerved to avoid hitting the car in front of him. After hitting me he spun and hit three other cars. His car was totaled. Keep in mind my car could still be driven........the Mini is a damn tough car even the CHP could believe it.

That's terrible luck, I hope it all works out for you. At least no one was injured.

Very bad news. Good luck!

If they do total the car at least get the wheels.

That is some seriously bad luck. Time to get a 1er is what I'm thinkin.

Sorry to hear that man. I've always had a soft spot for Coopers. Good thing you were okay. Those rims are sawweettt!! Good Luck with everything.

I guess yours is worse than mine. I have tons of deadlines and reportings....

That does suck. My only gripe this week is that due to the long summer days (late dusks) in the photography business, I'm working every day from 9A-930P. Wah wah.

Glad to hear the car did it's job and protected you.
