Hahahaha nope
Oct. 31st, 2018 11:37 amBecause of a small fender bender that has resulted in a lot of ridiculousness between my car (driven by my husband, I was at work) and a taxi, and our financial status still being a giant shit sandwich, we basically are going to be jumping over the center console of my car for a couple of weeks.
Since the front door won't open, because the driver's side fender is squished in a way that has it jammed shut.
It is not enough damage to warrant an insurance claim; the repair is going to come out under the deductible. But he still has to drive to work every day and so there's absolutely no way we can afford a rental (which my insurance doesn't actually cover*, so it's definitely not worth raising our premiums to file a claim for a $350-plus-labor fender).
Which means he gets to climb over the center console multiple times a day until we can not have the car for multiple days in a row, meaning the next time he has two+ days off in a row, which ... is in two weeks.
My husband is not a small man in basically any dimension. I mean. I guess it's a workout?
* Up until about two months ago, we had two cars, and I was the only driver of this one (I'm still the sole owner). Since mine is a 2017, we kept it instead of Brady's 2009 car. I have a very, very intense fear of driving other people's cars and won't even borrow mom's and was anxious about driving Brady's, so there was no point in paying for rental coverage that I would never use. Since we got rid of the other car I just hadn't changed it. When finances are sorted out a bit I'll add it back.
