Me and the Mrs. were on our way to see the new Disney cartoon, "Bolt." We were in what Krissy calls the "Datemobile," that is my 1975 Fiat Spider roadster. I bought the car back in 1990 for $200, and have been working on it ever since. All in all it's been a fun car, and after I painted it (Ferrarri red), replaced the top and all the interior, it's been a great looking car as well.
We were heading down the road, when a '01 Impala crossed the road right in front of me. I locked up the brakes and went into her left rear passenger door.
The 5 foot minus 1 inch driver of the Impala pulled over, got out of her car and said, "Sorry." Great...
I called 911, and a few minutes later Officer Kim pulls up. She asks, "Hey Kellett, did you see this (the accident)?" Ya, I saw it... front row seat.
Mrs. Booster Seat was also found to be operating a motor vehicle without liability insurance. No aseguranza? No bueno. Now I am going to have to fight with my insurance company, who will likely peruse through eBay and see that you can find a dozen or so of these cars for 2 grand; that is, if you don't mind towing it home and spending 18 years and about 8 grand fixing it back up.
None of this has anything to do with dead bodies, nor is it very funny.
"Bolt" was good.
And Remo, write about a gajillion no insurance tickets for me tonight, buddy.

Oh I am sorry Dave! I hate to see good cars like that get crunched! And...with someone who doesn't have insurance! Yikes! Wishing you and the Spider a quick recovery! Thank God no one was hurt! Lisa
Si, se pueda! (write tickets, that is).
We have a nifty law; ARS 28-3511, that requires the impound of vehicles being driven by people with no insurance. We use it mostly to deport illegals but there are other benefits.
My parents had a Spider. It was in the shop as much it was in the driveway but it was a blast.
I'm so sorry! At least the movie was good. ;)
