@lina: eww. must have hurt. anyway, glad the insurance covered that.
i have a 1999 car which theoretically needs replacing, since it's out of line with all environmental standards, but i never drive it so i will just bide my time until government incentives for change of cars come up again and then i will give it to my brother, so that he can get a discount on his next car. i don't care about having one, the traffic in this city is too slow on four wheels, and i'm much better off with a motorbike.
