Crazy Couple of Weeks! Gained A Mopar, Lost A Mopar

And all I can is thank God for airbags and seat belts and that they all performed as they were intended to and my daughter was able to walk away from a pretty bad accident.


First of all, about 10 days ago, I flew down to Austin, Texas to see some old friends and I bought a really clean 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with all the bells and whistles and it also has a 5.7 Hemi. I was feeling very happy, I even put some new graphics on it...

Fast forward to this last Sunday around noon when I got the call that my daughter was involved in a pretty bad accident while driving her 2008 Dodge Avenger. Scared the sh*t outta me and I raced to the scene (at least I still know my crappy old Astro van can still do a hundred).
But, other than being really sore all over and generally beat up inside, she is OK. The car can be replaced.

Had her checked out at the emergency room and she took a couple of days off work to get through the worst pain of the pain and soreness. She is currently in a rental car (a 2013 Chrysler 200) which she is digging. Needless to say, her car is a total loss. I believe she has become an official Mopar girl as she is already looking at other Mopars for her next vehicle... Maybe a Charger or another Avenger, we shall see.

Thanking my lucky stars that I am not reporting MUCH worse news. It's crazy how fast everything can change in the blink of an eye!

-Happy Dad
