I've only owned one car, post college for about 5 years. It was a clutch, my dad taught me how to drive it. It was a fun little car (A Nissan Pulsar) to drive.

Cars are guns with wheels. Don't tempt fate too many more times.

So many accidents, Wil. Yikes. I'm glad you survived. And that photo is gold.

I definitely remember in the few fender benders I was in, feeling all prepared and responsible with my insurance info, and having the "older and wiser adult" on the other end of the accident shrug and tell me they didn't have insurance. Or they'd just want to shake hands and walk away, especially if their car received less damage. No one wants to deal with it. We shouldn't be allowed to drive cars. We've proven time and again that we are too dumb as a species to do it correctly and without killing ourselves or other people.

Lifeguard stories? Can they be about cute boys who smell good? I have some of those. But they might only be entertaining for me. 😂
