my car is out of commission for 2 weeks :[
first the pothole now this. so the day before yesterday i was cruisin down the 60 to go home to see my hometown friends and parents when suddenly this truck in front of me runs over a random front bumper that was lying in the middle of the freeway. this bumper shoots up at my car and hits me square on the windshield/roof right side. my windshield shatters, my right sideview mirror breaks off right away. i then stop to inspect the damage and my right fender has a huge dent and scratch. my roof is dented and scratched also. so is my right door and front bumper. so my car is in the shop for 2 weeks :[

im just having a streak of bad luck...

i know all this sounds bad but there is some good that comes out of this. i get to have my roof painted black and my car is silver
