In order to be a good citizen of the world, I traded in my old SUV for a sedan. It’s a Subaru Impreza and so far I love it, it’s small and easy to park, plus the gas mileage is way better; I think that will make some people happier too

I’ve had this car for only about a week and I forgot that today is street cleaning day in my little area of Cambridge. So my car got towed to lovely Pat’s Towing. I was a little upset when I realized all this in the morning, but I can get over the $65 fee and get on with my life until I saw this.

The tow company had put my car in too closely to another car that looked like it had been there for over a year (and no license plates).

Despite the fact there there was lots of room on the other side, about 4 and a half feet. Not enough for another car to fit, but plenty to share the spot. You can see to the left the wheel of the Jeep on the other side.

So my car got this nice dent and some of the other cars paint on it.

Now I need to find out if and how I can get the cost of fixing my car billed to Pat’s.
