Stupid Maine Lady with a Dog

Sunday morning following a wonderful Sat at the Toboggan Nationals, I am following Jay and I get hit by a woman I am calling...Stupid Maine Lady with a Dog. So we are both waiting at a four way stop, and it is my turn to go. I am about half way through and SMLWAD decides it was her time to go...and she completely takes out the rear end of my car. Not sure what she was thinking, she says it was because of her dog, but after having a conversation with her, I realize it may just be her exceptionally low IQ that made her decide to start to go while I was still in the intersection. Now I was ok, but experiencing the car doing almost 2 complete 360 degree spins, I was needless to say, slightly shaken. SMLWAD got out of her car and wanted to try and just give me her info, because she was worried about her son missing his hockey game..really?? At that point if i was smarter I should have faked injury..but gosh darn it that honesty thing just always gets in the way. Anyway, Jay came right back and made it all better so I could sit in the car and cry. The car was drivable, after Jay and his dad did some serious body work, while I bonded with my new mother-in-law. We made the drive back to boston, and was able to take the car into the shop to get repaired on Monday. Apparently there is much more internal damage than we thought,...shocking, it seems to always work out that way.

After taking the car into get fixed, Jay and I decided that we wanted to start test driving new cars..because lets be honest...who wants to buy a bummed up car. (Oh guess I should add that our current car was a lease that we were trying to decide if we wanted to buy). So yea, after SMLWAD took out the option of buying, we decided to start the search. Well the search turned into a one day search and buy. We ended up getting walking away with a bunch of free cups of coffee, some terrible jokes by a super slick annoying car man and an Outback. Yes, that's right. We joined the rest of the east coast and bought a Subaru. A real rugged/family car. here is a pic of the showroom car. I am so excited and can't wait to join the 1 in 4 people up here driving one.

Ohh, and lots of room for car seats...i'm just sayin
