Wanted: Chevy Malibu

Today Mark got in a tiny fender bender at a stop sign that gave the car in front of his a 1 ½ inch long scratch. The woman and her daughter in the other car had no complaints at the time of the accident, and the policeman came and wrote a report. An hour later the woman called Mark and complained that she and her daughter were both suffering from whiplash and migraines.

She then asked Mark to buy her a Chevy Malibu (with less than 100,000 miles), with the promise that she wouldn’t report us to our insurance company, and pin us with the inevitable $6000 in doctor’s bills that would come if/when she and her daughter went to the ER the next morning due to their severe pain. She told Mark that she’s a nurse, so she would know about the numbers.

I know we look young, but do we look like IDIOTS?

So, if anyone knows of a Chevy Malibu for sale, there’s a really desperate nurse in Salt Lake that might be interested. And, if you're interested, she might be able to sell you some beachfront property in Montana.

Oh please. Whiplash and migraine from a crash that only got a tiny scratch on your car? And how convenient to only get those complaints AFTER the policeman was gone and had already filed the reports, and to be a nurse with a ready diagnosis. What a jerk. You'd think she'd have pity on someone who looks like they're barely 16 years old.

That's pretty ridiculous. Maybe you could find her a 1984 Chevy Malibu. That way it won't matter if it gets scratched!

Or maybe you could go tell her to go find a 1984 Malibu herself, and buy it with her own money. Forget it, lady.

Dang- that is CRAZY! Richard says you should sue for extortion. Show that nurse what power a laywer has! Geez, some people have nerve, huh? But, hey, it makes for a great blog post! :)

Ok, have you seen the new Chevy Malibu commercials where the girl is running and runs smack into a parked Malibu? I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. Then there's some other commercial, then they go back to the scene with the girl laying in the street after running into the Malibu and she gets up and smacks back into it again! Now THAT is funny! I think the slogan was something like "a car you can't ingnore." Now I will think of this crazy lady whenever I see the commercial. That just makes it all funnier! I hope you don't have to pay her $6000. . .

Oh my! Maybe they'd take a swap with a "like new" red Toyota truck from our driveway? --Mom
