What was your last car related mishap?
I deliver pizza
for Domino's, and I was backing out of a customer's driveway, and I hit
the pole to the basketball hoop.

I took my van in
for an oil change. Three hours and $200 later, I had new brake pads as
well as new oil.

Five years ago
my husband and I were returning from a day of birding in Delaware. Here
in Maryland it was a dark, dreary, rainy day and we were glad to be nearly
home. While driving through a busy intersection, a car ran through the
light and hit us broadside. Except for a few bumps and bruises, no one
was hurt but the car was totaled.

If you mean like
things breaking, that'd be just a few weeks ago. If you mean like things
going crunch, my previous car got totalled june of 02.

A couple weeks
ago a shock absorber snapped, and in the process totally destroyed a tire.
Luckily I was on the way to the mechanic for an oil change.

Having a poor sense
of direction, I get lost frequently. Having a healthy ego, I forget the
ignominious details as quickly as possible.

I bought a new
car in April so I have been mishap free for awhile. Jeep Liberty. I haven't
named her yet... I'm pretty sure it's a she, though.

Can't remember,
I've been a decent driver for a while, at least by Boston standards.

This summer I was
parked outside my friend's condo on a city street. When I came out early
in the morning, someone had smashed the tail lights and side view mirror.

Being stuck at
some shopping mall about an hour away from home and my car wouldn't start
and having to get towed home. I had a friend and my sister Janet with
me and we didn't get home till one in the morning. It was such a fun time!!

I dinged my front
fender while trying to back out of my narrow garage and evade a moving
van taking up most of the street.

Three years ago,
when I was living in Maine, I pulled out of my driveway and was plowed
into by a tourist. Two thousand dollars worth of damage on a new car I
had bought less than a month before this happened!

There was a fender
bender back in the 70s. I was at a stop light and this woman came barreling
down the hill behind me. She tried to stop in time but ended up hitting
my left rear and quarter panel... so much for the crap in my trunk. Could
have been much worse.

My husband
says my Jeep might be leaking differential fluid.
