Driving A Bullseye

We have not had a lot of issues with cars. It has been pretty nice. I know there are others who have had major issues and spent way too much of their 401K fixing cars.

In the past year we have had a few issues with our van. We have had issues with people and or objects hitting it. It seems to have a bullseye on it for anyone or anything near it.

We had the garbage man drop our full garbage can on it. We had someone shot out our back window with a bee-bee gun. We had someone slide into it during a snow storm. We had someone key the side of it in a parking lot. We had someone pull around it and try to take the bumper with them. We have had some issues.

Today I was noticing a rock chip in our windshield that I had not noticed before, when another rock came flying up and what do you think... bullseye! Only it didn't just make a cute little rock chip, it made an 8 inch crack.

I would not care so much if it were an old, soon to be dead, deserves to be beat up van. But it is not. It is quite a nice new van, and it is a lease! Man I cringe thinking about it!

Luckily, not one of these has been our fault and insurance has been amazing at taking care of all our issues. I am just getting tired of calling our agent so much. He should just be moved to a speed dial number. Sad, isn't it.

For now, we drive the bullseye as little as possible... to avoid what awaits it.

Hate the rock chips, they just make a happy day awful. So sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing well it has been too long. I think you are amazing though.
