Huggy Posted November 30, 2014 #1 Posted November 30, 2014 Last Sunday while coming home from church the wife nearly didn't make it home!! Her and her mother where on there way home from church when she hit a patch of ice! The car spun out, she just missed hitting another car head on. She got out of that then just missed taking out a hydro pole. THEN she goes into an asparagus field and tore it up! Then back onto the road, with out stopping once!! Then she pulls into the local gas station to have her lottery tickets checked. Where everyone had watched the whole show and just said to her "We where wondering how you where going to get out of that one". And the wife says "I need to go change my undies now". The car went sideways when it was in the asparagus patch so now we have $770 dollars of repairs on the car. Which is better then what could have happened!!!!!!!!!!!
ragtop69gs Posted November 30, 2014 #2 Posted November 30, 2014 Wasn't their turn.... glad only the car was hurt.
saddlebum Posted November 30, 2014 #3 Posted November 30, 2014 What Can I say but WOW!!!! .... no wonder she went for the lottery tickets.....she had to believe it was her lucky day after all that. Glad to hear she came out of that unscathed.
Pegasus1300 Posted November 30, 2014 #4 Posted November 30, 2014 so how DID the lottery tickets turn out? Oh and BTW good news on them all coming through in fine shape.
Marcarl Posted November 30, 2014 #5 Posted November 30, 2014 Good to hear that those two are OK,,, that means you'll be able to stay at home for lunch still. Hope you can fix the auto alright.
Huggy Posted November 30, 2014 Author #6 Posted November 30, 2014 Tickets didn't work for her BUT I figure she used up her luck for November that day!!! Car goes into the shop on Tuesday for the repairs!!! Kind of upset about the repairs. We are getting another car in the spring and was hoping to get away with out putting more money into it.
Sailor Posted November 30, 2014 #7 Posted November 30, 2014 Sounds like she really kept her head.....literally.
slowrollwv Posted November 30, 2014 #8 Posted November 30, 2014 They were very lucky that the car did not flip when it hit the field. Glad she kept her head and drove through it.
bmiller Posted November 30, 2014 #10 Posted November 30, 2014 I'll bet their were two set's of undies needed changing after that, glad everyone came out ok!!

Glad they are both ok Huggy and it wasnt worse!!
Flyinfool Posted December 1, 2014 #12 Posted December 1, 2014 glad everyone is fine. Undies can usually be washed. $770 at a body shop is not much more than a paint scratch.
Angelo Posted December 1, 2014 #13 Posted December 1, 2014 Glad she made it, the repair bill sucks but considering the alternative, makes you feel grateful.
Huggy Posted December 1, 2014 Author #14 Posted December 1, 2014 We sure are grateful it wasn't worse. The damage was mechanical so it has to go to mechanic. If the wife had been hurt I really don't know what I would have done. I think my biggest fear is losing my wife. Yes she did drive throught it and didn't panic. I'm glad she kept her head and knew what to do.
bongobobny Posted December 1, 2014 #15 Posted December 1, 2014 Yes, but did she really have to roll down the window and wave her hand in the air while going WHOOOO HOOOO!??!
Huggy Posted December 1, 2014 Author #16 Posted December 1, 2014 Bob I thought she was having too much fun when she did that to. But she keeps trying to tell me she was screaming in terror, BUT the the boys at the gas station said it sounded more like a WHOOOO HOOOO WHOOOPEEEEE!!
Huggy Posted December 2, 2014 Author #17 Posted December 2, 2014 Up date just got back from garage and the car needs another $2000 worth of mechanical work!!! Told him just make it safe!! The bill is more than the car is worth!! I can buy the same car for$1800 off the lot. So the hunt for another car starts!!!
Marcarl Posted December 2, 2014 #18 Posted December 2, 2014 I know where there is a Saab for not too much money. It's even got some age on it so it's well trained. It's only been on the hook once, seen new sneekers a couple of times, has no use for gas stations, but does need to visit them once in a while, is not field trained, and the speedo works,,, what more do you want?
