It was brutal out today. I mowed my yard around 8:00 PM and, once I finished, wished I had waited another 45 minutes before starting.

Time to trade. That GLI is tainted.
Think of it as a buying opportunity.

Dude, you are BAD!

When I was in residency, I drove by a ChiChi’s on margarita night and was hit so hard on the driver’s door that I had to climb out of the passenger side. I traded it wrecked after getting a couple of estimates. And yes, I know I went to an inferior medical school and an inferior residency but they have served me well🤣

Ouch! But yes your medical school and residency program have served you quite well!

When you look at the numbers, most of us went to inferior medical schools. - although mine is the largest MD program in the US. Surprisingly , Harvard turns out mainly primary care. Now that there are more women going to medical school, primary care is more popular. Good to see some female orthopedic surgeons and other specialist surgeons too.

Assuming his damage was moderate he was probably back on the road an hour later. Thanks NY.
Many years ago a good HS friend of mine was waiting between 2 parallel parked cars to cross the street in Patchogue, NY and an uninsured driver lost control, hit one of the cars resulting in the loss of one of his legs. His medical bills were paid but there was no one to sue for compensation for a hard working man with family and kids having to live the rest of his life with only one leg.
He was a Master spackler by trade and after being fitted with a prosthetic leg he went back to work and told me the younger guys still couldn't keep up with him.

I had a woman who worked for me have a very similar thing happen at the Philly airport. Out of control cab driver plowed right into her while she was standing on the curb. No loss of limb but many broken bones and other injuries. She nearly died. Luckily he was insured and her medical care as well as a very substantial payment eventually came her way. She was out of work for over six months.
