My daughter totalled her car today

February 10th, 2010 at 04:11 am

Yes, she and her friend are okay, I on the other hand, need a stiff drink!

She slid on the icy/snowy roads and slid under a Ford F150 with her Toyota Camry. She did everything right, and because I was off today, I was able to get there within minutes. She only has a bruise on her leg where it hit the dash.

We are now on the path to find a replacement car. She is a really good girl, very responsible with good grades and holds a good job, I just think that lesson of "I know everything and I am invincible" is a painful one to learn. We were already looking for my 15 year old, so now we will need to come up with TWO cars. DD1, who had the accident is going to have to pay for something from her going to Germany savings.

Keeping it all in perspective that she is okay and I would ask for nothing more.

    glad to hear she is ok, while there are hardly ever any F150's (or 250's) on the roads around here, I DO know what they look like and that sounds like a very scary smash! she and her friend are very lucky!

    I'm sure glad she is okay. The roads up here were pretty icy yesterday and caught even well seasoned drivers off guard. Good luck with the car search.

    I am so happy that she is ok. I remember my first car accident when I was a teen. (Someone hit me) I think I learned to be a much more careful driver after that. I never have had another accident. (and never a ticket either)

    That is the part that scares me the most, my kids and driving. Anyhow, I am glad to hear that your child and her friend are okay. I am with you on the drinking thing though. I don't drink, but I probably could in this case.

    Whew! So glad she's OK! Heh heh, now I get your comment on my blog about older kids being more expensive than babies... Wink

    Wow, what a close call. I am happy to hear she is OK. Icy road can be treacherous.

    Oh my! That's really scary! Thank goodness she is mostly okay. The other driver, too, I guess? Don't think about cars for teens right now. Think about lives for teens, if you know what I mean.
