%*^^%(# drivers

My son was stopped at a red light tonight driving our ’92 5-speed SVX. He was the third car from the intersection. The first car stalled, the second car driver got frustrated and threw her car in reverse, backing right into our beloved 5-speed. No one was hurt but the bumper is pushed in, the honeycomb grill is broken, both fenders are pushed back and the hood is severely buckled. To say I’m not happy would be a serious understatement.

In British Columbia we have a province owned and operated liability insurance company called Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, or ICBC. I’m pretty sure they’ll try to write the car off, offer me $1,500 or so and keep it for salvage. If that’s their position, they’re in for a scrap.

Wish me luck.
