I am not really a big fan of the Simpsons, but I think you were trying to cheer me up a bit, so thanks.

I like Homer's version of "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" - and let's face it, if with all Homer's bad luck he can still smile, there's hope for us all..

 Hmmm, does that mean there is also hope for the driver of the Porsche? I think I need a little time to decide if I am ok with that.

In the scheme of things, you're OK, your insurance company will pick up most if not all of the bill, so it's not all that bad (not belittling it at all, but you could have been burned horribly in a fiery wreck!)
The fact that the driver of the other vehicle took of suggests one of a few things (stolen, drunk, kid borrowing mummy's car) one can only hope they shat their pants and won't do something like this again.
It would be nice it the cops could find them - if only to give you closure. I'm sure it would be quite easy to find them if the cops had the manpower - if they'd killed someone you can bet they'd be in the lock-house by now, but one must prioritise.

Yes, I know you are right and I have also been thinking about how easily I could have rolled over, smashed into a concrete barrier or something similar. My previous car was totaled in an accident four years ago, when an elderly lady ran a red light and plowed into me, spinning my car around 180°. But this accident was at a higher speed and it really does make you think.
As I drove to work in the rental car Thursday and Friday, I did slow down as I passed the site of the accident - hit me once, shame on you... 
It is quite possible that there is a huge brown stain in the driver's seat of that Porsche. After all, I saw the car coming (although I realized too late just how far across the road he was headed), but I really believe that he never saw me at all. A smack like that coming from out of nowhere would scare the crap out of most of us.

Hello Sir,
Hmmm it sounds like the story of Bruce Almighty  Well if you believe in astrology(we Indians do believe a lot) it is sometimes the planetary position which may cause such things to happen.
Speaking about myself : When i was in college i had a exam, when i was going to give the exam there was a huge traffic jam, the traffic police caught me. I reached late that day, i flunked in that paper. When i was returning home, i met with an accident.
When i reached home and turned on my TV it said
Quote: You have not paid the bill of your TATA SKY, we are discontinuing your services.
This was the most epic mishap.
I slept that day, when i woke up the next day, every thing was all good. After a few months when i gave my paper for re-evaluation, i cleared that paper with good marks.
Things do happen, the only thing you can do is take it in your stride. If you think you are gone. Well my best wishes are with you and your family.
Thanks a ton,
Rahul

Thanks man. I also had a run of bad luck back in December, but this one has the potential of being much more costly.

Hello Sir,
I will pick up lines from your own quote:
Quote: "When you don't know what you're doing it's best to do it quickly" - Jase #DuckDynasty
I will modify it:
Quote: When you dont know whats happening with you....forget it quickly.
yes i understand, the best thing is never to keep anything in the heart, just spill the beans, it helps.
we are all your friends here and again my best wishes are with you. And please remember this happens because of bad planetary positions, when the phase changes all of a sudden every thing is smooth sailing.
Thanks a ton,
Rahul

Thanks Dinesh,
Yes, fortunately I have not had any pain since the day of the accident. Quite a nice surprise as I know how those things usually work.

Thanks. The results will be ready on Monday, but she is relieved to have this first step out of the way. The doctor had told her, he would have to make an incision and go deep in order to take the samples  . He ended up doing it with a big, fat needle instead - better, but still...

As the Porsche was probably stolen you may be thankful he did not stop. Pissed off robbers are not the most pleasant people.

There are actually a number of guesses when it comes to why the driven of the Porsche took off. If it wasn't stolen, the guy needs to have it repaired eventually and he will have to pay all of it out of his own pocket.
If they do catch him, he will be in trouble. Fleeing the scene of an accident is something that is really frowned upon around here.

If it rains, it pours.
I always experience that kind of bad luck. When I am suffering from cold today, I'll have a cough tomorrow. Then I'll have asthma. After a week (not even through from the asthma), migraine will attack. I can't go to work for a week or two.
But thank goodness, that's just once or twice a year.

Hoping for good news for your wife, too. I'll pray for that. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Thanks,
That asthma thing sounds pretty bad too. I am glad that doesn't happen to you more frequent than twice a year.

Me too. It's getting more dangerous in every attack. That's what my doctor said, and I can feel it too.

Sh*t happens, this is a PITA.
The best: you are not badly injured.
the worst: the nerves about your wife diagnostic. Let's cross fingers on that one.
Good luck!

Yes, I was lucky to avoid injury. Actually, I have not had any pain since the day of the accident.

You can replace the car, the wife however is more of a problem.
Prayers for her ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) and I hope the Porsche driver has an unexplained, uncomfortable and above all runny bowel experience as he drives along smugly.

Thanks Nagy,
I am torn about the Porsche driver. On one hand I want him to get caught so I don't have to pay anything for this. On the other hand, I want him to die in a fire...maybe after the runny bowel movement.

Dammn, that sucks - Hope you get better soon. Rest with the nice though that he probably needs to pay the repair on the Porsche all by himself.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Thanks Marco,
Yeah, I am pretty sure he has quite a costly repair he has to pay for himself.
