Lady in SUV backed into me

But the real reason I say I barely even care is, well, considering what happened to my 350Z . . .



. . . this is nothing to get upset about. Getting into an accident that requires EMTs to extract you from your vehicle on a back board kinda changes one's perspective on things. I just don't sweat the small stuff anymore.
