I "wrecked" my car this morning. I say "wrecked" because it wasn't really a crash.
I hit a curb going about 30 to 35 mph this morning because someone decided to move into my lane and I swerved to avoid him/her hitting me.
So, the other driver either 1. never saw me or 2. saw me hit the curb and kept going. My car now wobbles, and my front right tire sits at least 2 or 3 inches further back than it used to. (I have no idea how much damage has been done yet.)
I can't file a report because I never got a license plate number, and the truck never hit me--just ran me off the road. I can't even file with my own insurance because I only have liability.
Now, I'm waiting to find out how much damage was done when I hit the curb. My car is worth very little--the best I can say for it most days is it runs (no a/c, broken windows, broken driver's side door....it's bad.)
I guess I'm at the point where if it costs a lot to fix what happened this morning, I should get another car. But, how does a person with no money, no family, and no one to cosign get a car? I probably make enough every month between my two jobs to afford it, but I'm not sure.
I am at a point where I'm just hoping for the best outcome possible. It's just so disgusting to think that my reaction to the other car almost hitting me has caused so much trouble. But, it was instinct to move away from imminent harm...
Here's hoping things work out okay...
