Default Argh! Why Me!

Only my luck would have a snowboard standing in front in the fast lane on 280N by serramonte. No room to swerve so i had to run straight into it

We'll see how it goes with insurance tomorrow.

I'm fine, but it scratched up the front bumper and hood a good bit. I thinking the bindings dug into hood and left some deep marks down to the aluminum. I think the board pretty much flew over the car after it bounced off the hood so hopefully the top and rear of the car is unscathed.

It just sucks because now i have to take the time to bring it to the shop and pay the deductible.

I called CHP and they said there was a mob of angry drivers.

What hurts the most is that it feels like my car has been violated, lol.

Hahaa... yea.. I try to never let myself get boxed in especially on rainy days because of those stupid puddles on the side. Once I see a car infront of me make a wave, time to switch lanes

It happened at about 8:20pm. I was like wtf because a snowboard was the last thing i was expecting to see today.

I need to start driving more defensively, i have been pretty lax about that lately.

^I wish I hit marshmallows, lol.
