Wasa... the bane of our existence! Where do I start this rant...

Weelll... it was a rainy morning. I had to get up at freakin 4.30am because YARA wanted me to come in and work on their Digital Signage Project again. Did I mention it was a rainy morning? I had so much trouble tearing myself from my bed. Maybe I should have just stayed in bed and said screwit!

Anyway.. I left home very reluctantly and started the long ass drive to Pt. Lisas. I took turnoff from the highway onto the Claxton Bay road (does it go by any other name? hell if I know! heh). So there I was.. chillin and driving slow in the rain. Water was crossing the road at various places. Dirty muddy water. Eventually I ended up behind a rubbish truck. I didn't really care.. I was already late for work and it was raining so I was just there chilling.. had the music on low and just followed the rubbish truck. Wasa had been doing work on the road and had totally destroyed the right lane. Unfortunately for me the flood water was covering this fact. Sooo.. eventually the rubbish truck stopped to pick up some gargabe. I started to overtake at my relaxed pace when all of a sudden I heard a loud bang and the car felt like the front dropped into a trench >_< ..  Up ahead a little way there was dry land so I pulled on the side to see if anything happened to the car. I walked to the back.. everything seemed ok.. I checked the side.. no damage to be seen.. Then I walked to the front.. My right front fog light was hanging out by the electrical wire. It kinda reminded me of a gouged out eye hanging out of the socket. Then I noticed a strange broken part of the front flare. I inspected the torn edge and was wondering where the other matching side of the damage was. I was seeing the smooth undamaged bumper underneath. Mind you all of this was taking place in light rain. I had my cap on but that isn't much help when your clothes are slowly absorbing the water falling on you. I popped the fog light back in (or so I thought) then finished the drive to Yara.

When I got to Yara there was still a little rain falling but nothing to talk about really. I got out and decided to examine the damage again. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Something just wasn't right.. the bumper didn't look damaged but there was this damaged piece of fibreglass staring at me. I walked over to the left of the car and then it hit me! The entire piece of fibreglass from the right front of the flare had been torn off and lost in the flood water! DAMN YOU WASA!!!!!! >_< It was less than a foot of fibreglass but the fact that it was torn off... ripped away from my car.. it was just depressing! I hate Wasa! They're always destroying roads and leaving everything wide open to damage vehicles!

Anyway.. the fog light was loose again but I said screwit and went to work. In the evening I unplugged the fog light and taped the connector to prevent it from getting wet on my way home. I was demoralised by the damage to the flare so I went straight home. No gym.. no liming.. nada!

When I got home I unscrewed the flare and re-attached the fog light properly. The car doesn't look bad without the front flare. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's just maybe 6 inches high and stretches across the front of the bumper. It adds a "lip" to the front. It's always scraping wherever I go so maybe this is a blessing in disguise?

Anyway.. I'll probably look for a replacement and maybe a nicer design for the front. At the moment I've come to terms with everything. The damage is minor in the greater scheme of things. At least the bumper wasn't damaged and the rim wasn't dished (not that it can be easily dished.. what with my tractor tyres on the car.. lol).

So anyways... we'll see how it goes. That's it for my rant for today...  wait... let me say it one last time... DIE WASA DIE!!!!  DIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!  >_<     >_<
