Smirky Me...there is a story behind this photo.

So, i am a little bored tonight so i thought i would share a quick Hilton Head story.

We flew into Charlotte, North Carolina and picked up our rental car. The lady was very nice at the counter, she upgraded our car and added me as a driver for free. Unfortunately she also got us to sign up for the insurance (neither of us rent cars very often). We know better but we did it anyways. On the road i pull out the contract and realize that we will be paying $160 for said insurance. I freak! That's $160 less i can spend on souvenirs (i love me some souvenirs)!

So i call the rental car agency and tell them that we don't want the insurance, they tell me that i need to go back to the rental place and they can take it off. Okay, were now 1 hour away from where we picked up the car and there is no way i am turning the car around. Unfortunately there are no Dollar rental places in Hilton Head or anywhere close by. Needless to say we are out the money...lesson learned! This is where Smirky Me comes in...although it should be totally pissed off me.

Not 20 minutes later i gigantic piece of metal road debris comes flying at the car. Luckily it hit the bumper and went under the car and not through the windshield. It hit hard!

This is the damage that it did to the bumper on our rental car...



Now i am Happy Vicky because we have insurance...


That is all.
