Papa's Sports Car Gets Crunched....

Nov 05

We received sad news yesterday afternoon from Papa Kelly. The weather was bad yesterday morning in Everett while he was driving to work. He was on I5 going South in the Everett area when traffic came to a crawl. He drove to work in his new Solstice that he has had for a few months. This car is his baby! Anyways, the guy traveling behind Papa didn't notice that traffice came to a stop and crashed into his sweet ride. Papa's yellow baby hit a truck in front of him and well, now his car is totalled. He is so sad about his car but so grateful he is okay! That is the good news about this story, he did not sustain any injuries. Well at least he says so, he is a tough guy and we hope a severe headache he had yesterday afternoon was not related to the accident (although gut instinct tells me it had everything to do with it).


SO now he has to say goodbye to his baby. She is at the autobody shop but sources say she is done. The young man who crashed into Papa didn't have any car insurance (thankfully Papa has great coverage) so a lesson learned----make car insurance a priority even during these rough financial times. We all feel bad that this young man will have to pay out of pocket for the damages, but again, this is a tough lesson in life. Thankfully, he also did not sustain injuries.

Here is the picture that Papa sent to us. If he was in the picture, I would imagine he would have the saddest facial expression. Maybe his shoulders would be shrugged with his hands upwards as if stating, "Damn it all!" or "I didn't even see this coming!" I can even picture a tiny tear forming in his eye. Hey now, even tough guys have a sensitive side!!!
