This is one of those things that Frinklin immediately should have written about on his blog. He tried several time but somehow never was able to get it down. I wasn't blogging at the time, but now I bring you:

THE BEST CAR ACCIDENT STORY EVER!

I am woken up at 6:35 AM by a phone call:

Frinklin (breathless): Oh my God! I was just in this huge car accident!

Me: What?! Are you OK?

Frinklin: Yes! I'm fine! The cops are here. An ambulance is here. All the cars are totaled.

Me: Our brand new car is totaled?!

Frinklen: No! Our car is fine! Everyone else's car is totaled! I have to go - the cop wants to talk to me. I'll call you in a few minutes!

Me: Wait--!

--Dial Tone--

I sit on pins and needles for almost half an hour until he called again to tell me the rest of the story.

While waiting to turn left on his way to work a small red car came screaming through the intersection from the opposite direction. A minivan sped through shortly after, hitting a green stationwagon turning right on a red light. The stationwagon spun out, coming to rest on Frinklin's left side, while the minivan skidded through the intersection, smashing into an acura on his the right, forcing that into a jeep just behind it. All three cars then slid into and under the semi in the far right lane.

After the motion ended, Frinklin jumped out to help any people injured in the crash. The driver of the stationwagon needed an ambulance, but fortunately Tacoma has three hospitals in the middle of the city, so police and an ambulance were only seconds away (I should note here that she is OK).

Our car ended up with only brushes of gold paint and a broken license plate frame. A few inches more and we would have lost the entire front end!

The driver of the gold minivan leaped from the drivers seat and took off on foot before anyone could speak to him, leaving an older teenaged passanger in the car. The semi driver interpreted her wailings as best as possible and explained, "She's a hooker. The guy in the red car they were chasing? He's a john that attacked her or something and then stiffed her. He owes her money. The guy who was driving who ran? That was her pimp."

She proceeded to tell the exact same story to the cops as her official statement. You know it's gotta be true--who would make that up to tell the cops??
