Embarassing moment #137

Just the other day Lindsay and I were out driving around looking at apartments. And of course, I drove. (i think it's an obsession) The sun was shining, the birds were chirping... you get the picture. Well, I am a little vertically challenged.. and the front of my ford taurus is rather long- and I don't always sit up and stretch to look over the front when I drive overlittle hills or bumps in the road.. as I should have. With the radio on and talking, I made the turn into Patchen Cove apartents and accidentally up on to the median separating the in and out traffic. The sound echoed through the apartment complex. Similar to that of a screaming bobcat and scraping metal. The bottom of my car was scraping the cement- and my tires were on either side of the median. It was such a production that a passerby grabbed her daughter,stopped and stared -as if she were in danger of taking anymore steps through the parking lot- even though she was VERY far away from my car. I eventually got off the median and had to check the underside to see if anything had been damaged. No, dad- nothing was wrong- just scraped the bottom of my bumper. Since then I have been very careful to see what is over the humps in the road.. John and Mike did offer me their phonebook though. How thoughtful.
