The wives SL500 things come in 3's

2 weeks ago she damaged the bumper on a parking stop. Repairs done
1 week ago she is in the Ralphs parking lot waiting for a space, 90 year old grumpy man backs out of the space, wife leans on horn, old Man crashes into her. He tries to leave the scene, the wife chase him down. The old fart denies hitting her, then blames her for not backing out of his way, then he uses the "I'm 90 years old", my wife responds well maybe you should not be driving. his insurance is paying for a new grill, bumper and paint work. Repairs done.

Yesterday on the freeway at speed a big piece of sheet metal flies out of a truck, she could not avoid it, cars on both side, well back to the body shop

People suck. Even the old ones.

The good thing is she wasn't injured, but having to fix a car that often sucks.

Look at the bright side. With all that practice the body shop now has the paint formula just right for a perfect match. -J

My wife had a car that just seemed to attract accidents. After the third one we sold the car.

The grumpy old fart could not see the damage to his car, maybe because every panel was damaged. How do these people keep their licenses? Why doesn't his insurance company drop him?

If your wife was waiting for the space that the old guy was in, why was she blocking his egress?
