June 14, 2009 -- Lakers clench their title victory in Game 5 of the 2009 NBA Finals.
June 17, 2009 -- 9:00AM: It is decided that on this day, the city of Los Angeles would <waste> spend an estimated $2 million in this economic climate to celebrate the Lakers' victory via parade. It is also decided that I would be privaleged enough to have to drive my sister to school at 9 o'clock in the morning. It is also decided that the parade would be held near the LA convention center, right smack dab next to USC (my sister's school of choice).
June 17, 2009 -- 9:20AM: In grid lock traffic, thanks to nearly every bloody small and big street closed off in all directions imaginable around the parade perimeter, whilst I'm going at precisely 0mph, a clown in a grey/silver lancer slams into me from the rear.
July 15, 2009 -- Damn near a whole month after the accident, the insurance company finally pays out, after, of course, many weeks of nearly fruitless attempts to convince the insurance company that my ZE-powered MX-3 (at this point which has already been labeled as "total loss") was NOT worth a mere "$1600". In the end, I receive a sum of $2740.
July 27, 2009 -- After a bit of searching and MANY drives to San Fernando Valley, I finally pick up this:
Ain't much right now, but I can very much see a ZE in its future.. maybe even a turbo?
