Damnit hail sucks, really sorry about the 635csi man.

Backup on-call, got called in because the primary lives in the middle of loving no where and his phone wasn't working (landline or cell). Called at 2:44am to basically drive in, power cycle something then stand around to make sure it booted. Then drive home, have breakfast and drive back to work. That's what I get for joking that I rarely get called in so on-call is basically free money with my date last night. Oh well going to leave at lunch and see if I can find some polo or dress shirts that actually fit.

So, i havent posted i a few days. needed to get my head sorted out. Me and the twin boys was in a fairly brutal car accident a little week ago. I was driving around a bend on a fairly narrow two lane road when i was faced with a semi in the opposite lane and an overtaking wanker in an audi in my lane. With a K barrier on my right and 50 tonnes of truck on the left i had nowhere to go. On of the boys broke his forearm and cracked some ribs, the other little dude was fine. I myself broke my nose and got some burns and cuts to the face from the airbags and shrapnel from the fuckers car. One of the occupants in the other car was entrapped and is probably never walking again. being a parent sucks when you are in an accident involving your kids. i have been struggeling with this feeling of guilt every time i see my boys, and i wake up at night in terror from dreaming about what the outcome could have been. anyways, the tesla is totalled, the safety equipment worked flawlessly and i was able to knock another stanced audi of the planet. now to figure out what car to get, if i stick with tesla or go with something cheaper or go for max fun. its sunny out, my wife will kill me if i ride my bike.. but her being violent turns me on so...

Glad you're relatively ok. Hoping for a speedy recovery for the little one, too. Give it time, and maybe even a little therapy. You did all you could, and your family is intact. That's all that matters.

Glad that you and your kids made it through relatively undamaged. Hope the hurt one heals up well. Sounds like the Tesla did a fantastic job of keeping you guys all safe, something to consider when replacing it, although theoretically your chances of being in another dinger like that should be minimal I hope.

Glad that everyone on your side seems to have avoided anything major/long term. Was the Audi making a poor choice in overtaking there, or was it an otherwise safe move that turned out to be a bad call?

Talked to the dealer earlier, told them to start looking for earlier options. Turns out there is a p85d on its way to Norway with an owner trying to back out. Wrong colour and still that freaking spoiler. Told him ill talk to the insurance people and get back to him. Might there still be hope for the family Road trip still? The car in question arrives in another part of Norway (Drammen) friday

There's still a lot of lakefront recreation areas closed due to high water around the state, but particularly in/around DFW. Trucks are still using this road quite a bit from the looks of it, so a lot of that is just mud that's been splashed on the car as they drive by. Looks like it's been clipped at least once now too, though it's well off the road (may not have been before getting clipped). Is that the one over in north Fort Worth, across the road from a dude ranch? Rhyno posted:You're ruining all my conceptions of CANADA.

The ones I've tried so far seem to want me to drill down by Country -> State -> County -> Street Name -> Nearest Intersection, instead of just letting me type in a drat address. Dude you need to get an account with a bank or credit union that has a mobile app with remote check capture. I'm sure there's plenty of decent small banks/CUs in DFW that have this and aren't assholes like Wells Fargo. The company I work for has some credit union clients in DFW and, while we don't currently do any of their mobile banking apps, this one and this one do have appear to have mobile deposit. Even if neither of these CUs have branches near where you live/work, after you join you can do whatever you need a branch for at any other credit union that has a sign for CO-OP Shared Branching, or CU Service Centers or however it's currently branded.
