If I could turn back time

Because....
I now have a car that will not operate. The back passenger side door is jammed and partly crushed. The back side of the car is smashed in. The back portion of the bumper is dislodged. I wasn't in the car. It was parked. No witnesses. No nothing.
It looks as if some BIG truck/SUV has run its tires across the side of my car. Instead of paint residue, it is rubber.
It was Friday afternoon, I left work. On my way to the Y, I noticed a terrible sound coming from the back portion of my car. You know, looks can be deceiving. The back end looks perfectly fine until you round the corner to the passenger side. I was taken back by what I saw.
I took my car by to a local tire shop. Nothing was rubbing the tire. The tire and wheel near the mangled mess are actually untouched. So, where was the noise coming from? I still don't know. However, I continued to drive the car. Actually, I didn't drive over 45 mph because I feared my bumper would fly off. Sunday, it decided that it wasn't going to perform for me anymore. :(
You know, I thought being shot in the butt wouldn't affect your head. Goes to show you what I know.
People's reactions, well, they are worth mentioning. Like the tire shop guy..."Whoa!" The police woman, "M'mm honey. Somebody had to know they hit your car!"
Now, I'll be playing..."Meet your insurance deductible" and "Let's drive a rental car!"
But, that's okay. I mean, all weekend, I tried to come up with senerios that were much worse than mine, so I could not feel so down.
You know, I never knew how busy rental car places can be. This morning, I stood alone in the rental car agency for what seemed forever. Everyone had someone with them except me. Well, I stand to correct myself. The one round looking guy was alone. Yeah, the one who was just told by his insurance company that they were droping him. I wanted to cry like a little girl. (I'm saying it like Arnold would). I didn't cry BTW.
They gave me this huge car to drive. I'm not a big car person BTW. I feel like Noah on Noah's Ark. I'm driving this HUGE 2005 Dodge Magnum. Yes, I've already been asked if it has a "hammie."
You know what? People respect you in a bigger car. In my Sentra, I had no respect. Today, nobody was pulling out in front of me. Of course, I guess nobody wanted to pull out in front of Noah's Ark. LOL Unless you want hammie all over your butt, don't pull out in front of Noah!
Okay, I'll be navigating the Ark over to the Y tonight. Wish me luck.
Take care,

((((((Hugs Hon))))) Geez what the heck good is paying out all the money we do in Ins. if when someone hits us, wether hit and run or not we(the safe and try to abide by rules drivers)

I had one client that had her car hit by a suspect fleeing a drug bust in a mall parking lot. That was a lot of fun.
Thanks for the hugs! Last night I just pretended that I was sleeping in heaven with God. I was so alone, tired, and stressed that I wanted someone to hold me. It worked. I went right off to sleep.
Thanks again.
Take care,
