Speaking of insurance....
Last Friday I witnessed firsthand a serious accident - a dude in a telecomm van was at a standstill, then slumped forward and thus gunned the van down the block - crashed right into my next door neighbors garage AND MB SLK...thing was smoking and he was out - I ran to the side and checked him out, tried to talk to him, got him out of his seatbelt etc....10 sec's later he wakes up but twitching and chewing - had to make sure it wasnt his tongue he was noshing on....
to make a long story short, they had to extract both vehicles from eachother and the garage across my driveway, thus tearing up the driveway, grass etc....now they're giving me a hard time re replacing things to the way they were - what kind of a message does that send to me, the next time I see something like this? Guess I'll leave the driver to rot and leave my cars in my driveway and not move them to help out.....who am I kidding - I'd do it again in a heartbeat - just glad my kids werent walking their usual path - doing my best to not think of the what ifs.....I suspect it was a minor heart attack or he was a diabetic....
