Over a week ago Jason was involved in a 7 car pile up on I-15. It's truly amazing that nobody was killed considering that a 16 year old girl driving 75 mph in a GMC Envoy plowed into bumper to bumper traffic at a stand still.
Her impact caused 6 cars in front of her to slam into each other, and Jason was the second car hit.
Luckily he wasn't injured too bad, aside from whiplash and a few visits to the chiropractor he's doing great. Wish I could say the same for our natural gas Honda Civic, but it was completely totaled so we are now in the market for a new car. I'm sad to see the car retired, especially since Jason was able to ride in the HOV lane to work every day (and save 1 hour of drive time) and because we were only paying .90/gallon in fuel until a month ago. All in all, thank heavens her parents were insured!
This being said, we have pulled the Colonel (our red extended GMC truck) from retirement and are getting him battle ready for the commute until we can find a new car. This truck has been such a lifesaver and a trooper over the years. Ahhh, the memories! Moab, camping, CA road trips, renovating our house on Leslie, late night movies all snuggled up in the back at the drive-in. It's the one thing we have that is older than our marriage. Jason bought the truck when we were dating. I'm so glad we still have it for times like this, and the boys are very excited to finally be driving in the truck again.
