Ugh! It's taken me a few days to write this post about it because 1) I knew it would take a while to write and 2) I was still so mad about it that I wasn't ready to go through it again! Haha!
Friday night Matt and I were headed to Riverfest and the interstate was CRAZY! We were literally a few yards from taking out exit and Matt yelled "Oh my gosh, this car is stopping!". The car in front of us had come to an abrupt stop and so had the car in front of him and so on. The exit had quickly gotten backed up and everyone was slamming on their breaks. Matt slammed on his breaks- they were squealing- and we barely missed the car in front us... the guy behind us didn't get so lucky!
We felt a huge hit from behind. I caught myself with my hands on the dashboard and screamed! In the whole 5 seconds that this happened, all I could think of "our new car!" (We just made our first payment last week!) Matt and I just looked at each other... "Did this really just happen?!" We quickly got out of the car to see the damage... this is what we saw:
No, it's not as bad as we thought and it definitely could've been worse. But it's our new car!! We were just so frustrated that it happened and now we had to go through talking to the other driver, calling the cops, dealing with insurance and getting it repaired!! To make a long story short: The other guy was very nice, he called the cops and the cop was great, we ended up having the same car insurance, we've already filed a claim, can get it repaired this week and will be provided a rental car! (Matt thinks the whole rear bumper will need to be replaced).
We were really frustrated when it happened, but when it was all over and done with, we realized that God really was protecting us! The other driver was nice, we had the same insurance and our car wasn't damaged too badly and most importantly we weren't hurt!!
P.S. This is the other guy's car!!! This is who hit us!! His little Honda actually went under our Jeep. Poor guy :(
