Default Buffalo, NY Blizzard... OCTOBER?! = my car blah

so as some of you may heard, there was a blizzard yeseterday in western new york

pretty much 2 feet of snow came down which breaks like a 137 year record of early snow fall.

here is a link to the article

http://www.weather.com/newscenter/to...=wxcenter_news

so, most of the power is out in this part of ny, including me =(. So i am writing from my friend's dorm on my school's campus, which fortunetly has HEAT and ELECTRICTY

anyways, as soon as i find my camera is my really pitch dark apartment, i cant take pictures of the accident my tC has gotten into =(

heres the story of my accident though:

i was driving down a single lane road (while it was still snowing), some POS 1990 was in front of me. I come to a point where this single lane road turns into 2 lanes, a regular lane and a left turn lane. So i signal to go onto the left lane. This is when i suddenly see this POS volks trying to make a left without signalling, so i hit my brakes.... and guess what ABS kicks in.... so now i cant really stop..... i swerve to avoid him on the left (since there was no room on the right unless i smash into that lovely tree). I swerve onto the opposite lane, and i spot an oncoming car. I slip in between the cars and the volks side scrapes my tC from the rear right fender through the door all the way to the front right fender.

Now... I really feel as if this is his fault, but i know insurance will say otherwise =T.

But now i am beginning to believe this car is cursed. Though this is my first accident, my car was been hit and dented numerous times without me being there =T.

This damage is basically a sharp bent line stretching from the whole right side of the car excluding the bumpers. How much would this run me =T. I am thinking of replacing my rear bumper while I am at it. It was hit and run earlier this month (big crater in left side of bumper).

Yeah its been wet, and a little cold already here in TX in OCT. Normally when it gets cold in Oct. here early we have a big winter. Atleast thats how it has been over the last 20 years here... I think we are in for a big one soon... like back in 85 i believe...
