*Fast forward to 8:30am
I decided I would take the X-terra to school and get gas after school/work.
I got in the X-terra and started on my way to school. I had just stopped at the stop light on University Parkway and had to stop at Freedom Blvd. I was sitting there for about 10 seconds and then my car lurched forward. For a split second I thought my car had stalled or had died, it kind of freaked me out. Then I noticed there was a big Chevy suburban behind me and I knew I had been hit. I put the car in park, put the flashers on, and walked to the back of the X-terra. We have a trailer hitch on the back with a rubber cover for it so it doesn't get rusty. The only damage to my vehicle was that the little rubber cover had been scraped a little bit. The only thing wrong with her car was the license plate holder was scratched. We pulled into a parking lot and I got the woman's phone number and name just in case there was more damage than meets the eye. She apologized a lot and explained that her kids were causing problems, she wasn't paying attention and she hit me. As she was driving away I took down her license plate and description of her car, just in case.
I got to school about five minutes late, good thing I left for school early.
The thing I am really grateful for was that I took the X-terra, not the Acura. That would have been a great travesty! I am extremely happy that I took the X-terra and that there was no damage to me, the people in the other car, or either of the vehicles.
The rest of the day was great and a good reminder to be thankful for all the little things.

Wow...that is scary. Good thing you followed the promptings to drive the X-Terra. How lucky! I am glad it wasn't any worse.
