Just like Marcus had a big day on Saturday, yesterday was my BIL's wedding. Friday night was the rehearsal and then the big thing on Saturday. Up early, at the in-laws for the morning prep stuff and pre-party. Then we had to drive over to the other side's house and do the pre-party there. Then off to the church. After the service they all went for the photos at a park (regular stuff). Wife and I got to go home and we changed. Apparently I had to wear a different suit because she had a different dress. Then it was dinner/reception. Food was good, lots of music, dancing, etc. It was a good time. Today we have the post-wedding party at BIL's house in the backyard. That's always a good time, too. Friday night was going well until we got back to the in-laws house from the after rehearsal dinner. Pulled up and noticed my car was parked diagonally on the front lawn. Hmmm...I sure as heck didn't park it that way. The car was parked on the street in front of the house. A 17 year old kid smashed into the side of it and decided it wasn't a good idea to stick around. Neighbors saw/heard the crash and went to see what was going on. Kid took off with his car all smashed up and a flat tire. Another person chased him in their car. Kid drove about another mile or two down the street and tried to hide at the high school parking lot during a football game. Probably a bad idea since there were about 10 police officers working the game. Kid got arrested/cited for the accident and hit and run. Turns out he lives a whopping 6 or 8 houses down the street. Supposedly a good kid who got scared...you still don't run like that. They have State Farm and I already started the claim. I have to take it for an estimate Wednesday morning. So far I'm looking at a rear bumper, associated attachment brackets, taillight, quarter panel, rear door damage, front door damage, rocker panel, rim, and some little pieces underneath. Hitting the curb threw off the alignment which I just had done. Hoping there's no suspension damage. It's going to big a big repair bill. Car only has 25,000 miles on it. Oh well. Can't lose sleep over it. Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |
