Another Car Accident. Don't worry, she's okay.

 Lately I've been going back and looking for things on my blog.  Super annoying when I gave things non-specific titles and I can't find what I'm looking for. So--just putting it out there.  The last week or so has been all about figuring out yet another car accident.  This time, the accident may end up being deemed her fault (even though in her story the guy backed into her).  We'll let the insurance companies sort it out.  But it's kinda tricky when you live 1,500 miles away from home and you get in an accident.  I've done some serious helping over the phone.  

It turns out there are so many things to learn about working with car insurance.  I thought we'd learned them all last time, but now we are learning more things.  Thankfully the car is registered in our name this time.  It was actually a pretty slow speed incident, but ouch.  The damage was a lot.  It's going to be totaled--again.  This time it won't be worth fixing.  Scroll down to see her replacement vehicle.  It'll be a bit tough to go from a 2015 Subaru Outback with all the bells and whistles...to an awesome 2006 Honda Civic.  But, one of our favorite people, Anne Ducey, just happened to be selling her Civic at the perfect time! So that's what the situation called for.  Then we can afford to ship it to her. 



Her team has wrestled a couple of times, but she hasn't been in the lineup.  Maybe this next weekend she'll get to wrestle again. 


I love this color--kinda champagne.  I think she should name it Bubbly.  But I guess we'll see.  We're shipping it to her, then she'll need to get it registered in her name in Iowa.  Lots of adulting!
