An Idiot's guide to earning $450/hour

Only the 2nd snowfall this year in Middletown! Yeah! word has it that global warming has taken over the planet. It finally snowed in excess of 10 inches this past Monday. It took me more than 20 minutes to get the snow off the car in the morning. Took me a second to apply brake while still loosing control of the car and skidding into the car in front of me, at <5mph. It took her another 10minutes to call the cops and make a case. A few more phone calls and poof! i have a bill of $450 for a (yeah you can read this one again) 6 inch long hairline scratch on the bumper that you could barely see from 3feet away. Fortunately noone was hurt...

First hand experience - it's a pain to be involved in an accident (if that what you could call this...officially!). You don't want to be in one. never! And that too not with a kind of a person who is just waiting for that chance to screw you.

There are two ways to look at it -
1 - I will be a even more careful driver, who doesn't want to get into any ruffle
2 - the day anyone touches my car, i'll make sure i get my $450 back
for better or for worse...i won't be the 2nd person.
