No, I'm not wondering which I should buy. Yesterday I was on my way home from the doctor and I was driving Donnie's little beater car, the Focus. I was stopped at a red light just minding my own business. There was a pretty lame song on the radio, but I was singing the crap out of it. The AC was on, it was a sunny day...things were going great!
I looked in the rear view and saw this really pretty red Altima headed my way. It took about half a second to realize that the pretty red Altima wasn't slowing down. I was on Bragg Blvd, which is just like, I'm sure, the highway to hell. Too many people and not enough road. There was NO WHERE to go, so I just sat and watched in the rear view mirror. The guy driving the car was freaking out. He was waving his arm and yelling, it was odd to say the least. I kind of shrugged my shoulders up and braced myself for the impending doom.
You'd be really surprised what all goes through your head in the 5 seconds before a pretty red Altima tries to drive over top of you. My last thought was "Holy crap, this is going to hurt!".
Surprisingly, it only hurt a little. The driver got out and ran up to my car to see if I was ok. He was more scared than I was! He said his brakes didn't work. I believe him because I watched him panic as he came barreling towards me. He told me he looked down right before he hit me and he was going 45mph!
So who do you think won? The 2008 Nissan Altima or the 2000 Ford Focus?
His car was SMASHED. My car has a few paint rubs on the bumper.
The moral of this story? Buy American.

Oh my Heck. I'm glad your ok. That's scary. Nick said he saw Jeff as we were walking out of the ball. I was mad he didn't tell me. I would have loved to talk to Kassie. I miss her. Hope you and your family are doing good. Nick says HI!!!
Glad that you are ok!!!
Still waiting for that phone call from my best friend to say she was in a car wreck...
Wow, I probably would have crapped my pants, or done something stupid like try to get out-and then gotten run over!!! hope you are ok!
Thats crazy! Maybe the mob or some union leaders cut his brakes. Once again your movie star life has amazed us all.
I'm coming over from Mormon Mommy Blogs, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled "Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me." The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I'm hoping to meet. The voting ends tonight-midnight. I used to be ahead but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere, and it's a tight race now. I would so much appreciate your help. Her blog is www.becausemomsaidso.blogspot.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. "Grapejuice, Floaties" Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you're awesome! ♥♥
