Everybody seems to have the one thing that always breaks (or just goes wrong) for them. For some people, it is televisions, some is always ending up in the emergency room with food poisoning, cellphones troubles, etc, etc. Our thing is cars. In the three and a half years of our marriage we have boughten at least three complete sets of new tires, a transmission, water pumps, breaks, etc. Honestly, it has kinda reached a point where humor has become an important element. So for the story...Benjy was in another car accident today. THANKFULLY (imagine that with a huge amount of emphasis) this accident had no injuries and was completely not Benjy's fault. He was stopped at a red light on Lehi Main St (The death trap of Utah County) when some hit him full force going at least 50 mph. Benjy of course, in turn, hit the car in front of him also. He was one his way home from work so of course tools when flying everywhere. We lucky none of the ladders when through anyones windshield. Luckily on of his co-workers wasn't far behind him so she was able to get all the big tools (the bed was loaded with BIG stuff) taken car of before the tow truck arrived. We think the insurance is just going to total the truck out. As crazy as it sounds, I think we might be happy about the accident. We have been trying to sell the truck since Benjy was laid off from Rainey and haven't been able to. Maybe this will help. Either the truck is going to be fixed up till it is basically new (which should help us sell it) or it will just get totaled out. Either way, maybe we might come out ahead on this.
And yes, I am one of those crazy people who came home and called one of those accident lawyers that have all the commercials. Go ahead, make fun of me!

How scary! The truck doesn't look too bad surprisingly. I hope the insurance company just gives you the money and they don't fix it.
Oh no! I'm so glad that everyone was ok! Way to look on the bright side of things! I think that cars might be our "thing" too... it stinks.
Crazy story! I'm glad Benjy's okay. I've always secretly wanted that to happen to our piece of junk car. But we'd probably still only get like $5 for it. I think our "thing" is apartments. Seriously, even when we think we've found a nice one, crazy stuff happens.
We had the same thing happen to us right after we moved to Georgia. It's a real bummer isn't it. We're glad that Benjy is ok.
Glad to hear everyone is okay. Nick and I were in Stop and barely go traffic on the 95 when someone fell alseep and let his car roll into the back of us. He couldn't have been going very fast but it was really loud and totally crunched the back of the car. I can't imagine if he had actually been going at a high rate of speed. Good thing for little Miracles!!!.
Tough luck. Car trouble runs in my family too.
