Warning, some reading follows, and is intended for those who have nothing better to do, if you have something better to do…go do it

Here’s my story:  
I’m driving home on a dirt road at night in my 2000 intrepid (70,000 miles, good condition) with a friend in the car (we’re both 16). It’s all good, going about 35-40mph, listening to the radio, until out of nowhere something appears in the road (remember this is a dirt road and its dark out). My first instinct is to swerve (which is what you’re not supposed do) and then I lose control, and go into the ditch.  
After a few …“select words” and sitting there for a sec taking in what had just happened, we get out to survey the damage. The whole front fender is all messed up [scratched, dented, and …hanging off of the car] and there’s a liquid leaking out on the ground. At this point…I realize I’m screwed (I’m 16…my dad is going to kill me). I get in the car and somehow manage to get it out of the ditch, and drive home…and think for a while.  
I’ve learned a few things (silver lining) and also learned something, and that is: Modern day cars are super \*\*\*\*ty when it comes to quality…and fenders are a rippoff.  
Well there’s my story…I felt that I had to share it with everyone…lol, feel free to add your own incidents if you’ve had any.
