or something. bought my first car a few weeks ago - had my first accident last night. divine justice.

ran a green light and payed the price. silly me.

lessons to be learned (beyond the obvious jesus bit):

• when the cop says “the tow truck is on it’s way - you can go now” what he means is - “find someone with a tow-strap quick, you moron - they’re going to drain your pitzy bank account so fast you’ll think it’s the rapture.” there wasn’t a translator on hand. i left. (charged me two days storage (in well under 24 hours) and an extra fine for sweeping the intersection)
• when the insurance company says you are covered - they mean unless you aren’t. and a hit-and-run motorist is very different from an uninsured motorist, because, you see, he could be insured.
• when the light is green you are in grave danger of being side-swiped by a big-ass Ford or Chevy with a shiny new paint job. them’s is the real pimp new wheels.
• jesus want’s me to drive a jeep. who would have thought?

and then call me to fix your car.

problem: the Camry doesn’t start unless you touch a wire to the battery after turning the key. this is a hassle.

solution: don’t fix the problem (what do you think i am, a mechanic?) - run a wire to a switch so you can do it all without getting out of the car.

the next picture has the new wires highlit in red.
