I hadn't been driving that long and was on my way to lunch with my friend from work when a guy came racing through a red light and hit me broadside. The cops were actually confused about which way we'd been going. My Dad took action for me and got me a lawyer, also found out that this guy (school principal!) had a history of such accidents. We took the guy to court and I won, and though the amount of the settlement didn't cover all the work needed, but I was determined. Another woman I worked with knew a guy who worked out of his house and he did a beautiful job on it, but then came the rust and the terrific repair guy had passed away.

And I know about winter roads, too - Western New York is a nightmare, but it's no picnic here in the Northeast either. I had studded snow tires for my Duster. I remember driving to the garage (remember them? and they also sold gas!) on the last day that they were allowed to be on, but the roads were so bad that when I got there I told them to leave them on...
