Tell me what you got away with

Currently Playing: Brand New - Seventy Times 7

As promised, here are the pictures of my windshield after it was hit by a golf ball while I was driving on the freeway:


From the front



Another angle



From inside the car


So as you can see, pretty bad damage. I had to shell out $190 to get it replaced.

$190 gone. For no fucking reason or fault of mine at all! $190 to be able to say that I almost died from a golf ball shattering my windshield while driving on the freeway. Of all the random things that could happen, I did not expect this.

Whatever.

Randomness: To prove my point that my car is in fact a HYBRID, not electric car, here are pictures:




Random Driving Rant: I was driving on the I-5 South near the 805 junction in the 2nd lane from the right. Then, this car coming off the I-5 onramp from the 56 West starts to merge into the right-most lane. Fine, that's normal. I maintain a constant speed of 75 mph or so and pass that car, just as it finishes merging into the right-most lane, only to see her giving me the middle finger. Apparently she wanted to do a double lane change, and I got in her way. How the fuck was I supposed to know that? I was supposed to be able to figure that out from you signaling and changing lanes normally?! And even if I did know, there's no way in hell I'm slowing down to 65 mph just for you. And you proceed to have to gall to flip me off?! Fuck me you say? No lady, fuck you.

Wow, Toyota misspelled "Electric" really badly. I know they're japanese and all, but Hybrid doesn't even have enough letters!

I agree with Jon. Although, people at Mazda are just as bad because they see purple and write down "Midnight Blue." I don't know which is worse, Toyota or Mazda.

Well, color is more of a universal thing, so I say Mazda.

Lol. FINE. Don't believe the pictures. I guess the only way I can prove it to you is to back into you hard enough to leave an impression of HYBRID. Come stand behind my car whilst I do so.

And btw, Jon, if you have to put something in quotations, i.e. "sexy", then that implies doubt and makes people believe it's not actually true.
