Some of you already know all about it so sorry to bore you but a brief explanation of my moment of utmost stupidity for those who don't. After getting $800 worth of work done on boy (the car's name), I went to stay with Kon in a hostel as he'd just got back from 4 weeks slave labor on a farm. I parked slightly up on the curb and decided that might not be a great idea with 4 new tyres so moved it forward slightly to take it down. I'm still not entirely sure what happened or how it happened but I went to press the brake and apparently it was the accelerator sending me right into the back of the car in front... which sent that into the car in front of that. Nice work Hollie. Of course, it wasn't my fault. Middle of the city on a Saturday night there was nothing for it but honesty so after leaving my details on the cars I headed to the police station to report it... it was most embarrassing checking the last box of each section which I decided was probably known to the police as the "I'm stupid" box. It was a good thing I wasn't drunk but at least that would've been less embarrassing! So, without insurance (it's not law here) I'm a little stuffed and scared of driving it to even the scrap yard to look for new parts. I've still been driving Daryl's V8 Monaro but he has full insurance on that one so it doesn't scare me as much! It's been a month since I heard from the insurance company but I'm hoping it's not gonna cost too much and I'm off to the wreckers this weekend to either get some new parts for mine or see how much they'll give me for it as it is. I had planned to drive it back to Melb but I'm over it now and it might be less hassle to sell it for less than go through the new rego and pink slips you have to get to sell it on. We shall have to see! I've only driven about 20K on my new tyres!!!
