Something always goes wrong.
Remember Peppy, my beautiful shining specimen of a Honda Civic?
He shines no more.
Now he is bumped and bruised, and today something awful happened to him.
I was just merging onto the highway from Dallas, and as I picked up speed suddenly the hood flew up, smashing into the windshield!
Luckily someone pulled over and helped me tie it down so I could drive home.
The hood latch has always been a little "off", but I guess the last time I opened it up, it didn't close properly and it broke loose today.
Now I have to get a new hood, which probably won't be the same color as the rest of the car, a new side mirror, and a new windshield. A week before I leave.Siiiiiiigh.

As a mother, I just have to say I'm glad YOU (or anyone else) were not injured... a car can be fixed easily and quickly.
But, my goodness, Peppy sure did look good in the early days of ownership!
Confession: I totally chuckled at the picture of Peppy all tied up. Sorry.
Oh Jill, how sad! Poor Peppy!
That's so freaky! glad you didn't get banged up.
I am SO sorry! That is a bummer. Glad you are ok and didn't freak out too much!!
thanks guys. Peppy and I are feeling much better now ;)
And apparently I wasn't as scared of getting into cars again as I thought I would be, since my road test was the next day, and I passed!
That stinks but I'm glad you were able to pull over safely.
Wow. Freaky. Glad you're safe.
