<p>So here's a little story I shall share with y'all, just to pass the dreadful few hours right before decisions are released. I had my Yale interview somewhere that's about fifteen minutes away from where I live, and it was faster and much more convenient to take the freeway there. So as I came back from my interview and I was merging onto the freeway, there was a LOT of traffic in my lane, seeing as I was going about 35 mph. So I decided to change to my left lane, and being the careful driver I was (hah) I turned over my left shoulder to check my blind spot. There were no cars right behind me so I decided to turn. However, I made the mistake of not turning my head back to the front, because the car in front of me slammed on his emergency brakes, and as I turned, the front right of my car hit the rear left of the car in front of me. Mind you, he wasn't even that close!!! Gahhh I was so incredibly mad, even though it was my fault. But the damage cost $2000 to repair, and that was because my friend had ties to an auto body shop so they charged me cheap. Did I mention I only had my 2006 Lexus IS 250 for a week before this happened? Ughhs. The car's so new that the auto body didn't even know how much a new front bumper, new right headlight, and new right fender would cost. The people they called to find out said, "What??? You need parts for that car ALREADY?!?!" Mans all this because of Yale. So freaking ominous, I'm telling you. </p>
<p>lol i felt really sorry for you until i read that your car is a 2006 lexus! as someone who does not have her license and, even if she did, would not be able to afford a car that cost more than 1500 bucks, i have to say the level of sympathy decreased juuuust a little.</p>
<p>but i still do have some sympathy for you lol ;) hope your car gets fixed. and i hope you get into yale of course!</p>
<p>That same situation has actually happened to me quite a few times. Just gotta drive defensively.
I've never had an accident, and the only car I drive is my dad's old '97 Cherokee (when he's not using it of course), so... I haev to say I have very little sympathy as well.</p>
<p>I've only been in one accident (luckily not in MY Jeep!)</p>
<p>The guy in the passenger side opened his door as I was reversing in a parking lot. Needless to say, the door crunched right into another guy's fender.</p>
<p>Uhhh I don't know where you're getting this "fakeness" from because I lost the login/pw to my other name so I just made a new account. My car DID get keyed really badly along the right side, that was after I had already got my car fixed and everything was looking brand spanking new. It's not a fake story, and I don't understand why anyone would want to make up stuff like this. Your accusations are kind of hurtful, if I must say so myself. Perhaps it is just me being sensitive, but I dislike how you are so quick to call my story fake without giving any reason why. I suppose you'd like me to post pictures of the keying so you can verify my "fake" story? I'd be glad to do that. Freaking weirdo. Ugh.</p>
<p>you used to say you're on gov team in a CC posting, right? You mentioned "Keying", even your mom's car accident in Vagas parting lot in another site. However, considering your personality how you have never menioned Yale Interview = Car Accodent in the past months? Should I say something more?</p>
<p>I've never said I was on Gov Team before--I know that one of my friends who was accepted ED into Brown posted using my name because she couldn't get her confirmation to work. She's on Gov Team. Maybe she was the one who mentioned it--but I never did. My mom's car was never in an accident--someone who parked next to us opened his door carelessly (twice) and his door hit ours, making a very nice big clunking sound. And in response to your question, "Should I say something more?" Yes I do believe you should say something more as I have absolutely no idea what you're getting at here. Are you insinuating that I made up the car accident? That I don't have a car? That I crashed my mom's car? That I didn't get into an accident coming back from my Yale interview? What are you trying to say? Please enlighten me, oh great one, because I really don't understand. And I also don't think you should be arguing with me about things that I know about better than you--such as what happened to my cars. If you want to know, my mom drives a Flint Mica GS300 and I drive a Blue Onyx Pearl IS250. Both of the cars have been keyed when I drove them to school. I drove my mom's car to school for about a week because my car was getting fixed in the shop. Is there anything else you'd like to know? To quote a book I just read, "Frankly, I'm having a tough time seeing what this conversation's about."</p>
<p>i was the friend that posted using tiff's (lilpixytiff) user since i didn't get my confirmation to work before the Brown ED postings or whatnot... and i'm the one on gov team.. so i guess that's where the confusion was</p>
<p>and i can totally vouch for tiff's story. she ended going to M1 (an autobody shop) with Charlie, a friend, who ended up getting her a good deal for the car-fix.. and she did crash it <em>insert technical stuff about what was broken and had to be replaced fog covers and whatnot and brackets and etc.</em></p>
<p>what really intrigues me, though, is how you, SelfAwareness, automatically discounts her stories of keying and crashes... there are only a couple of possible scenarios
1) you go to our school (thereby maybe being able to give credibility to your accusation) </p>
<p>however, if you do go to our school, you would have seen the ugly messed up front</p>
<p>2) you're bsing yourself..</p>
<p>which i'm more inclined to believe..</p>
<p>anyway gluck to all yall (though i think it's out now..)</p>
<p>THIS CANT BE TRUE!....
SOMEONE CRASHED ME TOO!!
freaky, huh?
Hit and run, too.. the bastard!
Oh, yeah.. And Yale said "Welcome!" So.. God has funny ways of making you feel bad and then make you feel elated.
So... yeah... uh.. congrats!</p>
<p>hahaha yeah that IS weird!!! I wasn't as lucky though--I didn't get in :) but congratulations! turns out luck has its weird ways of working out for all of us heehee</p>
