Morning,
[Rant on]
Woke up at 8am to to the sherrif banging on my front door and ringing the bell. He was trying to find out if the black Honda CRV that crashed into a tree last night was ours. We don't have a CRV, but do have a black Honda Pilot that I showed him had zero damage to it.
Turns out it was my mother's car that she had loaned to my niece while my mother is out of town. F'ing neice hit a tree and called her mom. Her mom went to the scene and picked her up and took her home in the middle of the night. She didn't call it in to the police or have the car towed away from the scene. Just burried her head in the sand until this morning. By then, two different police departments were involved in an investigation to make sure know one was hurt and to try to ascertain what happened.
So, I stepped outside and called my sisiter and asked if my niece was sober because the cops were heaeding to my sister's house after leaving here. My Sister said my niece was sober so I left it at that.
Then we went to the scene to see my mother's car. F'd up really bad. Hit a tree at the front corner and side panel on the driver side. Impact was translated through engine compartmentand to the wheel on the opposite side of the axel, with both wheels showing significant damage (not a good sign) and engine compartment equipment hanging down beneath the car. There was yellow law enforcement tape wrapped around the car so I didn't touch or open the car to inspect it or pop the hood latch to see how bad it really is. But, I know it's bad.
A day or two before she left town, I started to question my mother why she was taking the risk of her car being in an accident while my niece had it- and told her I would not do it under any circumstance. She brushed me off big time. Mom has to finaly wake up to the fact that her grandaughter is a loser and that she can't take risks like that.
My sister and niece can go F themselves for their total irresponsibility. And, I am the one who is going to have to clean this mess up for my mom. who is almost 85.
