It has been long established in my neighborhood that drivers take the curve by my houes way too fast. They're usually going about 30 or 35 - five to ten miles over the limit - around what is not a hairpin curve, but one that should be taken carefully.
At 3:30 Saturday morning, a 20 year old kid took that curve at what I assume to be 45-55 miles per hour, sideswiped my neighbor's car before, you guessed it, hitting mine.
I haven't even had the car for five months. This is the car that I got for graduating from college back in May. And now it's kaput. At first glance the damage doesn't look to bad, but things are far worse than the initial appearance. The tire blew...that's how hard this kid hit it.
Well, my car served me well for such a short time...now I have to look for a new one...
