Unnatural Attactions

My wife’s cars seem to have an unnatural attraction to other cars. When I met her, it was a 1981 Golf that kept getting hit. The 1982 Stanza did pretty good, and the problems with the 1992 Sable were more Fords making. The 1996 Camry gave its life protecting my wife.

Today, according to what my wife tells me, our 2002 Honda CRV got rear-ended, when stopped at a light in front of the Northridge Auto Club office (handy that). Evidently, someone hit the Avalon behind her and took off, after pushing the Avalon into my wife’s car. There’s rear-end damage to the car (repairable, she thinks), and she’s shaken up (she’s seeing the doctor tomorrow). We’ve already made the arrangements with our insurance company for the repairs; that’s easy when the accident happens in front of your insurer. My wife is also seeing the doctors to make sure she gets repaired. I’m sure I’ll learn more when I get home tomorrow. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd accident of that type in this car.
