[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 452775, member: 24042"] What did I do with my JK today? I crashed it. One of our pets (Tom) developed an abscess in his cheek. [ATTACH]122887[/ATTACH] Our vet recently retired, and the new one has had staffing issues (who hasn't?) and they couldn't see him promptly. Given that he's a hundred and forty seventeen years old (18), I was concerned about letting it go till they could see him. Because sepsis, especially in geriatrics, is a big deal. Fortunately, one of my former TKD students is now a veterinarian. Good kid. I started training her when she was in middle school. Awarded her a 2nd Dan before she went off to Vet school. Her practice is 2.5 hours away from us. I called her last night and she said bring him in today. About an hour from her hospital, I missed a stop sign. Sign cluster on the NE corner. At 0800. With the sun right behind the cluster. The young lady I hit and the cop both said that sign is often missed, so it's known to be a problem intersection. I've had this Jeep 2.5 months. Put plates on it 2 weeks ago. She still had temp tags on her malibu. Fortunately, there were no injuries in either vehicle. And although I got a ticket for running the stop sign, I had assumed I'd also be getting one for careless driving, since I caused the crash. So I'm happy about that. The officer says the court there will give me a deferment, and if I can just not have another accident in the next 6 months, this will vanish. I've had a drivers license since 1977 and this is the first time I've hit anyone, so I think I can manage that. We got Tom to the vet, late, but still. And after a bit of surgery he's all better. [ATTACH]122884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]122886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]122885[/ATTACH] I'm going to need a new bumper. The fender/flare/grill have some minor damage, and the fender needs to be realigned. The steering wheel is turned 45 degrees to the right, and the Jeep pulls very slightly to the right, but I don't see any damage to the suspension or steering. Her tires are pointing in different directions now... [/QUOTE]
