What about the jackasses who think they can do anything because they have 4-wheel drive? "I have the power, VROOOM! Ditch."
this actually happened when I drove my Navigator into a lake on a farm. Good news, I was able to use the 4wd to get out of the lake. Bad news, my 50k SUV had water damage and a broken window. Good news, I left the thing at a mall and told the police it was stolen.

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

That's the WORST. I hate it when some twitchy jackhole gets behind the wheel of a car with an air of superiority and proceeds to drive in a manner that endangers everybody else on the road just because he's cushioned by three metric tons of steel and airbags. I firmly believe that the world would be a much better place if American drivers (can't speak for other countries since I've only ever driven in the United States) were required to log a certain amount of hours on a motorcycle before earning a car or truck permit. It confuses me that anyone can use the same minimal amount of training to careen a minivan through 5 lanes of traffic while yakking on your cellphone and chugging Starbucks as a frikkin 6,800-pound Ray Smuckles land yacht as a 1,700-pound Ford Festiva. Maybe said twitchy jackhole would be a little more considerate of pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists if they had to white-knuckle it for a few weeks on a motorcycle. Of course, it will never happen, but when I'm king of the world it will be one of the first requirements I'll implement.

Well, there would certainly be less people on the road.

So, I got the car back today. It looks awesome -- a fresh new, non-destroyed door, plus a few ding touch-ups and some repainting. This car looks better than it has since I inherited it. Still wish I hadn't crashed it, but hey...

It's okay, it's good to get used to unavoidable things.
