Visiting on Oahu I had to stop by Costco this morning and happened to pull in as all the big trucks were dropping off supplies - I sat waiting in line as one truck backed in, not realizing I was in his blind spot - next thing I know he's not going to clear me. I throw my car into reverse and backup 2-3 feet before stopping because a horn is honking behind me ... ok - brakes and "crunch" his bumper took out my fender. If I hadn't backed up he would have rolled right over my hood/tire on that side... The police got over there within minutes and took a report down... nobody was hurt, and I was able to drive to my next appointment (I was speaking at Iolani School and was less than 5 minutes late due to the "fender bender")
Unfortunately I was borrowing my parents car at the time ...This poor car has been in at least 4 collisions when my parents have loaned it out ... and this was the first car accident I've been in. (Though my truck has been hit 3 times when it was parked - all 3 times the car that hit it was nearly totalled)
So I spent the day thanking God for keeping me safe - and after getting done speaking to the one group at Iolani I ended up with 2 more impromptu speaking engagements with different classes lol - made for a busy morning ...
Aloha, Tim
