You've got to be kidding me. Sitting in my car on a highway off ramp on the way to work, I was in pure bliss enjoying my euphoria from the Colts win in the Super Bowl the night before and waiting for the traffic to clear so I could merge into traffic. All of a sudden, WHAM! My car lurches forward, my head snaps backward and the sound of metal crunching into metal reverberates through my body. Someone just rear ended me! The only thing I could think of was "You've got to be kidding me." When I had pulled up to the street and was waiting for the traffic to clear, there hadn't been anyone behind me. I never even saw him coming. I got out of my car and surveyed the damage. Luckily for me (I guess), most of the auto body parts and glass on the ground were from his car. However, my rear bumper cover was now dangling in the wind like one of Rex Grossman's passes and my left rear light cover looked like it had been smashed in by Bob Sanders' fist. Great. Apparently, the other driver couldn't get stopped in time and slid through the snow like a hiked football in Rex Grossman's hands. I guess I should have expected it. During my whole 1 ½ mile journey on the bypass, I passed one semi that had been rear ended by one car who had in turn been rear ended by another car, two other cars who had slid off the road into the ditch and two semis who has simply set "Screw it" and pulled their semis off the road to wait for the melee to pass. The officer who responded to my wreck said they had had 20 wrecks in 60 minutes on the bypass. In fact, we had two squad cars respond to our wreck that were actually looking for two other wrecks involving personal injuries. What a morning! It ended up working out as well as it could I guess. He happened to have the same insurance company as I do and the wreck will be covered as well as a rental while it's being fixed. I wonder if they'll pay for a Hummer? That would rock.
