talk about bad luck.
Last week I got a call from my sister that her hubby's car broke down, and needs a new tranny and suspension, which means big expense. But there was no option of buying a new car, so they had to spend $1500 on this new tranny and suspension, since this is Detroit we're talking about and public transit is not an option like here..
Now fast forward to last night, January 14th. They were invited over for an evening at Marcin's parents house, and as they were leaving their house, my sister wanted to take their big car (they have two), but Marcin said "nah, let's take the old one", so my sister didn't argue and they took the older car.
.
Towards the end of the night, they heard big bangs and tires squeeling so they decided to run outside and check out what's happening. As it turns out, a drunk driver was speeding down a small curvy road and smashed into Marcin's parked car, the neighbour's parked car, and nearly hit a tree on the lawn before speeding off.
.
The neighbour heard this as well - pretty much everyone in the surrounding houses heard this maniac destroy screeching and hitting everything. The neighbour and Marcin jumped in the neighbour's car and started going after the guy as he was taking off.
.
The police was notified at this point by many contacts and the chase was on. About 3/4 of a mile down from the house, they found the drunk driver pulled at the side of the road and trying to change a tire since all the chaos caused his tire to go flat. Marcin called police again but since they were already notified and were in the area, almost immediately they were on the scene.
.
The guy had an alcohol level of 3 times the legal limit, and didn't speak much English (Russian), so since Russian is similar to Polish, Marcin had to translate a lot of the time.
Here's the kicker - the guy denies the claims made against him and even threatened Marcin that he'll get him back. The cops have been notified of the threat comment and are urging Marcin to call Police if the guy gets near again.
.
The bad luck?
Marcin's car was hit exactly where the work was done last week.
The good luck?
That Marcin wanted to take the older car, not the newer one.
