My First Official Car Accident....

My clean record is now blemished. My streak of no accidents and no tickets was finally broken yesterday after I and another driver tried to merge into the same lane at the same time yesterday morning on my way to work. It was my fault, really. Fortunately, it was fairly minor as far as accidents go and the driver was superbly nice about the situation. I pretty much immediately called my insurance company and had my car into a body shop about two hours later. I got a call last night from the adjuster....$2700 in damage to my car, although all I have to pay is the $500 deductible. I was thinking about it this morning....I think if I were still driving my Geo, that there wouldn't have been nearly as much damage. Ok, yes my Geo was crappy because it was old, but it was tough. It seems to me that they just don't make cars like they used to. Does that make me sound old?
