Last night when Marnie was heading out to the to grocery store, she encountered a driver who thought offensive driving in an underground parkade was the hip thing to do. Being the nice woman she is, Marnie chose to take the defensive tack and avoided a collision with the other car by clipping a cement pole. So instead of a possible collision that someone else could have been at fault for, Marnie has been determined at fault for the interaction with the pole – at least from what ICBC says (I think the pole had it coming).
Car gots an owwie!
Thankfully, Marnie is alright. That’s what I’m most concerned about. Sure I was upset that the car got itself all scraped up, but I was pleased that Marnie didn’t get hurt in the mess (although she was a little shaken afterwards). So all-in-all, things are not that bad.
As I wait to hear back from Kirmac Collision about getting the car repaired, I present you the following:
- My collision deductible is $500 – FAIL
- I have depreciation insurance which will reimburse $250 of that deductible – WIN
- My insurance discount will drop from 43% to 35% – FAIL
- I’ll be back up to 43% in a couple years – WIN
- Other driver gets off scott free – FAIL
- Marnie is okay – EPIC WIN TO END ALL FAILS
The last point is the most important.

You said I didnt read your blog. This comment is proof that I do.
And THAT is the penultimate WIN!

I stand corrected Mozy – although, you may have simply clicked the link in twitter to prove me wrong.
If that was the penultimate win (second to last), what would be the ultimate win?

If scared was the worst Marnie had to suffer, then I'm happy about that. I'd rather the car take the brunt of anything (obviously).
