HALF MY CAR IS ON THE GROUND!!

Well, last night was interesting, to say the least.  I was at work, when I get a call from Tyler at 6:00 ish.  Telling me that I need to go look at his car (I drove it to work yesterday) because the police department just called and said it had been involved in a wreck.  My first thought was oh great someone stole the car and then wrecked it.  So I go grab my keys and run outside.  The car was still there (sigh of relief) but as I walked around the side of it...THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER IS ON THE GROUND! And the left headlight is SITTING ON TOP of the hood.  Oh man was I pissed!  The police officer was there, and the guy that hit the car (thank heavens he was a good person)  The cop said "well as you can see he did a little damage to the car"  I looked at him and said "A LITTLE DAMAGE?!  HALF MY CAR IS ON THE GROUND!"  So after getting the insurance reports and everything I call Tyler back tell him what happened.  And so he came to my work and delt with the tow and all that crap pretty much until I got off at 9:45.  I felt bad for him.  He had only been home for a few minutes before he got the call.  He was still in his work clothes even.  It was a long day for him.
Right now he is at Enterprise picking up the rental car.  Then he gets to call the insurance company and the repair shop to make sure everything is in order.
The whole situation sucks.  But at least neither on of us were actually in the car.  And we still have so much to be thankful for.
So a word of advice,  If you drive a big pick up truck.  A) Make sure you are skilled enough to drive it in a small parking lot.  and B) If you are going to park in the busiest part of the parking lot, make sure you have enough room to get IN AND OUT of the spot with out destroying another car.  That is all.
