Fender Bender

 My prized possession, my little gas savor,  

was struck on the drivers side as I was passing by a service station by a motorists who said that she didn't even see me when she pulled out into the road, from the service station.  

She crossed the double yellow lines and was heading straight for my drivers side door so I pressed down on the gas pedal to try to avoid her, but she managed to hit me anyway, but farther back on my car.  I was able to drive the Prius home, but I had to avoid any bumps on the road in order to keep the fender from rubbing on the tire.  It was a very slow journey home from highway 90 near Cumberland Falls, where the accident had occurred, and I managed to get home sometime around 10 p.m. that night.  The accident occurred sometime near 5:00 p.m. on March 18, 2022. None of us were hurt and that was a blessing.

The lady was nice and sweet and admitted fault, so her insurance is paying for the repairs to my car  

.....and for this very nice rental car, an AWD  2020 Jeep Compass.  I requested a hybrid car to drive, but they didn't have any, so I had to take what they offered me to drive.

I don't know for how long I'll get to keep this gas guzzling rental car, but my car will take a little over 4 months before I'll get it back.  The repair shop can't get to my car for 3 1/2 months and then it will take about 3 weeks for the actual repairs to happen unless they find more damage.
