The last day of our honeymoon, we received a call around 7am from our Landlord. Although the news at first was shocking, it turned out to be one of our greatest wedding gifts! Earlier that morning around 3 am a drunk driver came flying down our narrow street and crashed into our neighbors truck(who was parked about 6 feet in front of us) Her Subaru Legacy was going fast enough to push his Dodge 2500 up over the curb across the lawn over a speed bump and land on top of our car.
So as you can see from the grass marks, this girl was going pretty crazy. But the best part for us is that after she crashed, she got out of her car and ran home. So then a few hours later when the neighbors noticed that there was three cars crashed blocking the road, they called the cops who found the driver at her parents house and this 20 year old girl was taken into custody and we got a call from our landlord. So after we checked out of our hotel and came home. We found our car looking like this...
After calling her insurance company and all the fun stuff of waiting it out and getting things priced. The insurance company decided to "Total" our car, meaning there was more repairs than the value of the car. So after having my dad and uncles look it over, we determined that for about $120 we could have the car running again and be good to go. So we took the insurance settlement amount, which somehow turned out to be way more than we thought the car was worth, fixed some headlights and drove the car another 7 weeks. But after that time we decided this car needed to go to someone else and we sold it on ksl for a decent price to someone that needed a cheap car to get them around for awhile. Then we bought our new sweet Ford mustang! Lucky for us, my parents had this project car and were willing to sell it to us so now Kyle drives the sports car and I get to keep driving my grandma car! But even though this was a hassle to deal with, it really did turn out to be one of the greatest wedding gifts!
