Yet another dent in car.

[helen99]

As I was driving about 5mph through the main strip of a parking lot, a very young, fresh-off-the-boat, confused Asian guy in a nice, shiny, black car came out of the side strip without stopping and coasted slowly into Car. Confused, I got out of the car to assess the damage - another little dent in yet another fender. I noticed the small impact had somewhat shattered the rust in the area and it was coming off in large flakes. He walked over to me looking sheepish and confused. I laughed and said, "Why'd you hit me?" That seemed to confuse him even more and he kind of smiled a very sheepish smile and said, "Ung". I told him not to worry about it (worrying about such a small dent on Car is like worrying about a little sand on the beach). I'll tap it out and touch it up later tonight. We walked over to his car - his nice shiny paint was all scratched up on the bumper that hit Car. I told him he could paint that with gloss car paint pretty easily. Then I asked again, "But... why'd you *hit* me??" and laughed to make it less threatening. He laughed sheepishly, and went "ung." Satisfied that I'd received the only correct answer to my question, I drove on to work.

A friend of mine once got in an accident with a little old Asian lady who had run a red light. She kept insisting, "light blue, I go".

My first car was a 1979 Ford Fairmont sedan which I named Moby Dick. Terribly original of me, I'm sure. I regularly left it unlocked, asserting that the only thing of value to steal was the car itself, and even that wasn't worth troubling with. Its favourite trick was to die at busy intersections.

Somehow, I think "Ung" is actually superior to "Light Blue I Go" in terms of answer quality...

Moby Dick is certainly more original than "Car" when it comes down to it... Car would actually be a good catch for any thief who knows cars. 87 Chevy Cavaliers are immortal... All they would have to do is fix the dents, give her a paint job, and detail the inside (considerably), and it would still fetch a decent price. Luckily, few people can see beyond the dents and impeccable rust-job...

My last car, a Jeep, was named Jeep. My current car is named Ella.

I would agree that "Ung" is definitely a superior answer.

Can you add me back onto your friends list? LJ had a bad day and deleted me from loads of folks friends pages. Ta :-)

I wonder how that happened. A couple of abandoned accounts have me listed as a 'friend' and I'd like to be able to delete myself from their friends lists if I only knew how...
