Destiny of an old car...

I was sending Xiaomin to work today when I met with an unfortunate accident.

The exit to Pasir Ris is always jammed along TPE from the Upper Changi Rd exit due to morning traffic. Due to the long queue, a vehicle braked suddenly and I had to swerve right to avoid collision. I took a quick glance in my side mirror before making the manoeuvre.

Unfortunately, while I tried to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me, I didn't notice the taxi in my blind spot. I hit his left doors and bumped slightly into his rear.

Lucky no one was hurt although Xiaomin was in shock for a while.

We drove to the side, assessed the damage and agreed to settle in private. The taxi uncle was actually quite nice; he didn't blow his top or anything and even asked if myself and Xiaomin were alright. After exchanging particulars, we drove off. In the afternoon, the uncle called and I found out the price of my lesson.

$400.

Price of 2 Taxi Doors: $250
Price of Taxi Driver's Potential Earning per day: $150
To get out of this alive and learning: Priceless

Thank God it didn't happen to my future Colt Plus. Otherwise, I would have felt really down. I just feel sad for my old Lancer that he has to end up in this state before he's scraped.
