Last year, during November, I went to Ohio to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her husband, my Mom, who lives with them, and my oldest daughter who flew in to visit as well. We had a really great visit.

I had parked my car in the airport parking garage at our airport, something I had done too many times to count.

When I returned, I found that my car back bumper had been hit.

After waiting an hour to report the accident at the airport, I went home and hubby said he could fix it – just hammer out the dent and it would be good as new.

Then in the middle of December, we were stopped at a traffic light and the car behind us did not stop – resulting in a cracked back bumper on the other side.

This time, we decided to get it fixed, since the fix would be paid for by the other driver’s insurance instead of ours. Of course we paid a portion of the whole bill – because she did not cause the first damage.

Now I have a new back bumper – and I’m almost too scared to drive it

We’ve had the car over 5 years and this is the first time we’ve had any problem – hope it’s not starting a trend.
