The only car wreck I’ve ever been in was from picking up my wife from a hospital stay during pregnancy. We got slow motion T-boned in my 3rd vehicle, a pick up truck.

This turns out better than the country western standard it sounds like.

I bought the Toyota for $1,400. Insurance gave me $700 after the accident and I kept the truck. Got the gas tank and windshield replaced. Sold it for $1,200. Months later I get a call from GEICO to settle the claim …uh oh. The lady said there’s a mental anguish part of the hit and run settlement.

$649. I agreed that that was exactly amount of the mental anguish that I had.
