Ryan's Car Issue

So the other day I'm sitting in my bed watching Jurassic Park on my DVD player when the Tyrannosaurus (I'm sure you all know the part) starts trashing one of the landrover jeeps that are outside the paddock. Well, as the tyrannosaur is smashing, and eating away at the car, there is this interesting 'surround sound' effect occuring that didn't make a lot of sense, because I haven't got surround sound.

So, no big deal. I think nothing of it, I mean, I do live in Windsor, right? Then my roommmate Michael comes flying down the stairs calling me, and so we all rush up to the front yard to see what the commotion is.

Turns out a tyrannosaurus was going nuts on the back of my car! No kidding!

Details:

So I go outside and a bunch of neighbours are all over the place telling me how some beige Jeep Cherokee slammed into my car and then took off, but they went to the parking lot down the street and stopped there. So I head down there with a jacket, a pen and paper, and wrote down the plate numbers and stuff like that while Sarah called the cops for me. Mike was all over the situation too, he was making sure nobody was going to get away with this.

You can see here where the bumper on their car was so much higher that it folded my trunk in half. Who folds a trunk in half? Seriously?

Of course they couldn't bust up the side pannel, eh? What's up with that? Anyhow, all the parts to fix this issue were in the trunk, so they'll have to replace them. There was no tire damage, which is good, as they are new tires and are really excellent for peeling rubber in my buick.

I took out the full-sized spare and the jumper cables, but the damned washer fluid is really pinned in there. I'm going to have to get the jaws of life to take this collateral damage out! I swept up the glass and pieces of plastic before I went to bed to ensure that no one would damamge their cars, shoes or dogs while they passed by.

Here's another good shot of how they folded my trunk right in half! It's kind of like a butter sandwhich, except it's a car's trunk cover, and there's no butter! Also notice how they hit the right side of the car (which was on the curb) but managed to leave the left side (which was on the road) relatively untouched. Unusual, isn't it.

If you look real closely, you can read the words "Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd." and then the license plate and even the expiry date (which is funny cause that's a sticker). If you squint, it's like there's a little car ontop of the vacant space where my trunk should be.

The back window was complaining earlier in the day about how uncomfortable it was in the back, so I guess it hopped into the back seat. Why not? Leather interior! Here you can see, by looking at the dirt on the road how hard they hit the car by studying the skid marks that are about two meters long. Another interesting tidbit is this: ... my car is broken.
