I am not a blogger

I was driving to a friend's house the other day. I had the radio on, and it was that time of day when it's not too cold and it's not that hot and a little sunlight hits the windows of your car and it's all leafy and bright. Life was being sweet.

I stopped off to get gas and I was hungry too, so I got a bag of chips, a bottle of water, some gum and put my shades on. Seatbelt on, and I was off again. It was one of those days when I wasn't thinking anything or nothing in particular and I was just pleased to be on the road, on a nice day, listening to my sounds.

And that's when these things happen I guess. Halfway through my journey I drove by the big mess of crushed car on the side of the road. I slowed down a little because there was nothing ahead or behind me. Just me and this car, and I was wondering why the dump had just been left there. It didn't look recent and it didn't look like it was even an accident; it looked like it had been bulldozed and abandoned. There was no glass-shrapnel all over the road; no police bands cutting the area off. Just this rusty old dump of a car: it was like some piece of art.

Maybe I only noticed it because there was nothing else to see. Maybe the sun lit it up for me, and I saw it that way. But with all the light on it, just sitting there waiting to be pulled away, I was kind of fixed on this thing.

Of all the things to think about, I thought about car insurance. I realised I hadn't renewed my car insurance for the year, and this car of mine, if it ever got beaten up like that? I'd never be able to cover costs. I went to my friend's house and we sat outside, but I couldn't get the car out of my head.

So, when I got home, I went onto the internet and got straight on with searching car insurance (can't remember how I did it before, think I used my parent's policy). After some browsing I found Beat That Quote and I got my deal.

It's good that I get my own car insurance anyway for the long-term and I found a quote, did all my administrative duties and had it sorted out, thanks to an artistic car wreck on a sunny day.
