Karma Reversed??

Well here are the details of my car accident I mentioned the other day.

I did a favour for my previous place of employment and worked some additional hours as they thought they were going to be left high and dry when I left.  I organised my mum to come and look after the little man and do kinder drop off.  I worked for 5 hours and wanted to get home in time for the little man to arrive home from kinder.

Now this may have been my down fall but in reality I am calling it Karma reversed!!!  I did the right thing and said yes to the additional hours for work and then driving home I had the accident.  I say it is karma reversed as I would never have been on that road on that day if I had not said yes to working.

Driving along and I hear a horn beep; normally I wouldn’t look as I knew I hadn’t done anything to deserve it but for some reason I did and when I looked back the car in front had stopped suddenly and BAM! Up the back of them; no damage to the eye of their vehicle at all as he did have a tow ball fitted!!!

I'm not sure if it was the impact of the accident or the air bags going off as well but it made a hell of a lot of noise at the time.  I will say that the seatbelts in Kia’s work exceptionally well as I hardly moved.  The smell of the airbags was not as pleasant as I actually though there was a fire in the car as that is what the airbags once deployed smelt of.  Plus the horn kept going off randomly which was extremely annoying as I kept thinking someone was tooting me!!

Funny thing was that there was another accident that had occurred 30 minutes prior to mine in exactly the same spot!  The two guys were waiting for a tow truck and laughing at me as it was a mirror image of these.  They were annoyed though as their radiator was leaking fluid whereas mine only had a few dents in it.

Looking at my baby there was only panel damage, spider web crack on the windscreen and the airbags but it is taking FOREVER to get repaired and I think I will be lucky to have it back before the end of next month! (sad face)  I am currently driving my parents 1980’s land cruiser truck and hating it as it is so heavy, no automatic anything and no CD player let alone an input for my iPod!!!!  It is amazing how lazy we become even with our cars as I had auto lights, keyless entry, heated seats and the list goes on……  no such luck in this car!!!

Bring my baby back to me in the same shape as I purchased her 13 months ago with not many extra kms on the dial or further damage.  A girlfriend’s parents took their car to the same panel beater and they damaged the other side of their car whilst fixing it and didn’t mention it to them they noticed it and had a go at them.  Dodgy brothers indeed.
