Nasty accident and a new car

As many of you already know, my poor hubby was in his second accident in less than a year about 2 1/2 weeks ago. A woman in a large truck took a left turn right in front of him (thanks to an SUV in the left lane of oncoming traffic giving her a space to go) but unfortunately J didn't see her and she didn't see him, so despite his attempt to swerve, he ended up smashing right into her side. Here's a few pictures of the destruction:


Unfortunately, the car was totaled, but since then he has gotten a brand new car thanks to the check from the woman's insurance company. It's a new Audi A4 (he didn't care much for the new BMWs) but the exterior color is almost the exact same as the wrecked beemer. And it doesn't stop there! The interior is almost identical too - black leather with wood-grain trim on the dash. LOL He loved his car so much, he wanted to replicate it with the new one. Too funny! I'll post pictures of the new one shortly...

i'm so glad that he was okay - bmw versus suv sounds scary -- but it seems like the bmw took good care to make sure j wasn't harmed!

can't wait to see the shiny new audi!

we'll be in the market soon for something with "towing capacity." i don't want to say it, but i think we're going to be a pick-up drivin' family before too long. although we're considering the tiguan.
