You didn't drive drunk and still had an accident. Impressive.

I’ve never driven drunk… I thought I was safe… The responding officers found it amusing, too.

I paid about 12k for the car… and had paid it off MONTHS BEFORE. Low mileage, older model. Had it for many many years. My insurance company gave me 8.5k and no increase to my premiums. I was very thankful. I loved that car but the A/C went out for the third time, and I was about to pay another 400-500 to get it fixed AGAIN.

Immense commiseration ensues.
