Full time employment: Posting here.
So today was my last day of work and starting retirement tomorrow. Lots of planning went into it and it's finally here. Wohoo...to good to be true. Usually worked from home but go into work on Thursdays and today Friday to finish up some things and turn in all my equipment. Boss says finish up what your doing and you can leave early. I head out get a little nastalgic and drive away for the last time. Feels good got our ducks in a row and ready for the good life. I decided to avoid the hectic freeway I would take the more relaxed side streets home. No rush I am retired now.
This this happens.... driver coming the opposite direction makes a sudden left turn thinking the had time and....Fxxxxx.....I slammed on the brakes and turned sharply to the right to try and avoid the truck...but too late. Shxxx..airbags go off... slammed me in the face and side. Thank goodness for safety features but wow what a smack. I sit there for a few seconds dazed that this just happened.....NO...my beloved EUV. Had to fight my way out as the airbags were blocking me. Nasty smelling smoke filled the cabin. First thought was get out.. battery fire and flaming Bolts crossed my mind. I was out of the car for about 10 minutes before I realized I didn't have my glasses on. The truck hit another car after we collided. My Bolt was stuck half way in right lane and traffic had to merge and go around in the left lane. The cabin was cloudy with smoke so I couldn't go back in there to attempt to move the Bolt out of the traffic. While we waited for the cops and emergency vehicles to get there another accident happened about 50 yards past ours. I didn't see it but I would guess once they got past our accident someone got careless and tried to make up for lost time....
Thankfully nobody was seriously injured in the crashes.
I am sure I will be a little sore in the next few days from my one round with Mike Tyson. I am very very sad about the bolt it's been my favorite car ever. Only one year of ownership and still under 10K on it. It did it's job and projected me well. I do think it will be totalled as all the airbags went off. I will share some pictures later.
