I’ve had a rough time lately with my C30.  First I backed into a parked car.  Then someone turned into me as I was driving my mom home and dented my back passenger quarter panel.  Then I had the whole episode in the parking lot at the Ricki’s Restaurant where someone hit the C30 and left.  There was a witness and he even gave me a license number but when I reported the number to the authorities no one had a record of the number.  I checked and double checked with the witness who was pretty sure about the number.  The insurance company told me that without the correct number I would have to pay the deductible.  That sucks. But none of these incidents resulted in any serious injury or damage where I could not drive the C30 so I was really fortunate.  It turns out that this was a series of fortunate incidents.

Still, what an interesting development.  Was the car stolen? Was the license plate stolen?  Does someone have different license plates on the front and back?  Who knows?  Was I being played by the witness? Bugs me that I have to pay the deductible.  I hope this doesn’t affect my rates.  I am still hoping to keep the C30 for a long time.

After all these incidents, I had the C30 tuned up.  New spark plugs and filters and it is running so well right now.  Purring as they say.  Still great for all the running around town that I do.  Especially now that I have take on a bigger volunteer role with the Steveston Community Centre and the Steveston Farmers Market – not to mention helping at the Judo Club as well as working on the Board at the Senior Housing Society.  I still help out with my family in a variety of ways including playing with my grandsons and it all adds  up to a full and productive life.

Loving where I live and play each day….
