So last night me and hubby got a
babysitter to go out drinkin with his
friends snce it was the guys last night
here. We were gonna take the train but
ended up driving. Needless to say we all
got drunk , I was pretty drunk his friend
was sober so he gave him the keys to drive
us home. Jason was in a rush to get back
to pick up the kids because we told the
guy we would be back early. Well his
friend hydroplaned the car right into the
guardrail on the autobahn . I didnt
notice the extent of the damage last night
since it was soooo dark outside, I first
noticed my sideview mirror. But the
drivers side door wontopen more then 6
inches. And its dented and scratches
going all the way to the rear door. It
really sucks my car isnt even 2 yrs old
yet. So now my husband has to get time
off to take me to my postpartum checkup
and the kids to there appts on the 13th.
I think its gonna be quite expensive to
fix it.  but the good thing
is we were all ok. But my poor car . Im
gonna take pictures of it tomorow . I
might post them.

I'm sorry to hear that, .Tink. I'm glad
you all are okay though! Do you have car
insurance?
Was .Jason asking his friend to speed or
anything? Or was it one of those freak
accidents?

yeah he was the one that went and picked
the kids up with jason and drove the car
there.
We were on the autobahn wich normally
everyone drives like 80mph wich isnt good
when it has been raining and the roads are
slick, wich is why he hydroplaned. Kinda
a freak accident but at the same time he
shoulda slowed down with the roads being
wet from the rain.
I always freak out driving when it rains
im afraid of the car hydroplaning and I
lose control. Luckily the roads were
quite empty at night. Doesnt help they
make fun of the guy all the time and were
yelling at him when he was driving to and
makin him nervous. So its everyones fault
kinda other then me, I wasnt saying
anything to him not until after he hit the
guard rail becauase I was mad . My new
car is a piece of crap now. We have
insurance but hubby doesnt wanna tell them
and just pay out of pocket because he
doesnt want our insurance to go up because
of it although we cant afford to fix the
car right now either I know it will be
really expensive. And not sure if there
was damage done in the car or if its just
external only

Honestly I dont think the insurance would
go up as much as it would cost to fix the
car :s

Sorry your car was wrecked tink. I'm
glad you were responsible enough to have a
designated driver. A lot of people
aren't nowadays. I know a woman who
routinely drinks and drives. She's had
her license suspended for over a year now
and she's still driving. People like
that enrage me!!!!!

yeah he stayed thenight at our house along
with the other 2. Sober one put the kids
to bed. But hes really upset he wrecked
my car so he wasnt to talkative but he
loves kids, he has neices andnephews and
misses em so he didnt mind helping out ,
itwsa the first time hes seen jordynne
since she was born and he wanted to see
her this weekend too so itworked out. He
wasnta llowed to drink all weekend until
midnight tonight cuz he is on qrf whatever
that is so he wasnta llowed to drink .
But never again will someone other then me
or my husband drive my car.

army is big on having a dd all the time
they are trying to keep the dui;s non
existant. I dont even go out unless I
know the way backlike if there is a dd or
taking the train etc. The babysitter he
even offered to come get us at the train
station but my husband decided to take the
car all the way out there rather then pay
for train tickets. Guys are stupdi when
it comes to driving though u should be
cautious when its wet out but he wasnt. I
always freak out about hydroplaning, and
driving in the fog here in germany is alil
scary too u can barely see like 5 ft in
front of you.

yeah its still driveable u just gotta
sorty shimmy in the car. The drivers side
got messed up right at the door hinge so
itwont open very far, as far as I knwo
there wasnt internal damage but we havent
taken itto get estimated yet. We are
waitingon the insurance company to call us
back, hopefully they cover itotherwise
hubby will have to get a loan, I hate not
having a car to drive. I refuse to drive
that to regensburg with the kids in it
for my appt. Going on base im not worried
about we are 8 min from there but im
afraid to drive it farther then that
