So here is how I celebrated the 5th anniversary of 9/11:
On Sunday, 9/10, I was invited to see the Getty Museum with some classmates. Ever eager to socialize, I agreed. So I spent a lazy Sunday getting dressed, showering, studying, and taking a leisurely afternoon nap.
At around 12:30, when I went to my car, it was gone. At first I thought I parked it in a different place, as I have a habit of doing from time to time. But when I got closer I noticed shattered glass on the ground.
I flagged down some cops who were driving by. The one cop asked, "Was that your Honda Civic?"
"Yeah," I replied.
"It's totaled," he said, barely stifling a laugh. "A drunk driver smashed into the back of it and took off. We know who he is so it won't be long ‘til we get him."
Turns out the person they are after has no drivers license or insurance. Oddly, that works very much in my favor. I had full insurance coverage from Geico, including uninsured driver's insurance. A part of that policy states that if I am hit by an uninsured driver they waive the deductible. So, ironically, I am getting an extra $500 because the other dude is an irresponsible fuckwad.
God bless irresponsible fuckwads.
And I get 30 days car rental. So, if I may, I strongly suggest that everyone and their sibling get this extra coverage. If I didn't have full insurance coverage I'd be in a much worse mood.
I just got back from the salvage yard. Although I am currently unable to upload a photo, rest assured my Honda Civic was turned into an Accord-ian.
Ba dam bump. Thanks folks, I'll be here all night. Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress.
Honestly, its tough to get angry and upset with such nice weather and beautiful people.
Hope all is well.

Daaaaaaave-Thank God! What happen to the air bag??
M.O.
Apparently the airbag did not deploy. My brother said that it wouldn't have because the car was off.
The inside of the car actually held in tact well. Either way I'm fine.
Still wanna buy my Civic? :-)
You definitely need to post the photo.
geez! at least you are ok dude.. saw the pic.. looks worse than my friends car!! and he rolled over on 495. he now has a mustang ;-)
any thoughts on what you getting next?
I'm considering being carless at least until I get a job. Insurance on that thing was about $1800 a year, plus gas, plus, er, hazards...
Buses sound awfully nice these days.
