To set the scene, leaving out of our neighborhood is long straight fast sections (55-65mph) of two lane road. Mary was at the end of a two mile straight flat stretch thet ends at a stop sign at a T intersection. Mary was almost stopped behind a line of about 5 or 6 cars and POW! The girl that plowed into Mary was taking her kid to school and they were late (it was a little after 8am) and she must have been texting or something because how else do you fuck up this intersection? Did I mension her license is expired? Luckily she had insurance! Mary called me right away because the girl was like 'omg omg dont call the cops', and so I told her 'dont worry I'll be right there' and I called 911. The Sheriff was not pleased with the girl, and was very helpful with Mary (at least after I zoomed up in my bucket truck, pissed off and obviously worried about the wife). We left before the cop and her did, I think he was going to tow her explorer or make her get a friend to come drive that pos home, because I don't think he was going to let her drive it away.
So the Rabbit is in the shop and we have a rental car and her insurance (state farm) is paying for it all. The body shop guy drove Mary to the airport to get her rental, whcih is a big Subaru 4-door sedan and is really nice. The Rabbit is 9 years old now, so that Subaru is tempting us pretty hard.
Second, there's a CD player in there. That's odd.
