@cherokeepatti hope you wasnt hurt

@Virgo79 bruised up badly with a black large across my lower abdomen where the seat belt kept me in, also my shoulder was really sore and a bruise near it, my left thumb felt sprained for a few days, a bruise on my upper thigh, one on the side of my hip, across two fingers, my knees were sore and one bruised and a small abrasion just below one knee probably from my jeans or the airbag popping out. All from the seatbelt and airbag popping out which of course saved my life. We got x-rays done and nothing showed up fractured or broken. I look like I got beat up. No lasting injuries. That bruise across my lower abdomen is going to take over a month to fade away, even little bruises take longer to fade any more. I just had surgery 7 days before and had surgical cuts on one side but higher than the seat belt. I was so scared when it happened that something got tore loose from those 6 surgical cuts. The paramedic checked me & said no internal bleeding. Got to doctors appointment late but he took me in and checked me again for bleeding. I didn’t have a good week, let’s put it that way. I thought I was going to be able to rest during the week after starting to feel better. But had an accident instead.

@Virgo79 the driver of that other car has had 14 felonies drug-related including meth. . Got the police report back and did a court net work search. She has a FB page and I believe she got off of the drugs a few years ago but don’t know if she got back on them. She was throwing a fit at the accident scene and taken off in an ambulance, didn’t talk to us of course.

@BizSuitStacy I am the same way with a purse. I buy one and keep it till it wears out because I am picky about style, features and material.

@cherokeepatti I replaced a wallet earlier this year that I had since I was 13 years old (Christmas 2001). It was so worn out that it looked like a small dog had chewed on it.

@HannahSky Right, but if you compare some 2013 models to a 2023, it looks kind of old in comparison thanks to all the new technology and stuff that has come out since that time.

@SubstantialKick depends on what you're looking for

@BrewCityBarfly New car prices nowadays are ridiculous. Not to mention how that you could spend all that money, just for the value to drop like an anvil as soon as you drive off the lot.

@GerOttman That would be nice to take on a road trip.

@deadgerbil Mine is a 2010 Malibu. 169 hp and about 22 MPG in normal traffic.

@SubstantialKick that's about the same as mine. Cars now it's like mid 30s to 40s for mpg. Lots of money saved in the long run

@SW-User I feel the same about EV's here in the States. Still lots of testing to be done.

@Havesomefun2 I'll bet it's probably easier to work on than many cars today.

@Moneyonmymind I had a Toyota Camry before the Chevy.

@SubstantialKick I will never own a ford or Chevy
