if you wanted to hold hands like that, why wouldn't you get into the same bath tub?

on our way home tonight a possum wandered across our path, so my old man slowed down the frontier until we were nearly stopped and all the slowing and nearly stopping took quite a while in driving time, like maybe 20 or so seconds and then right when maybe we were fixing to start going again bam! the SUV behind us ran into us. the teenage girl driver had apparently taken her eyes off the road (according to her mom who showed up after a little while). so the frontier now has a bashed bumper and broken tail light cover on the stern starbord. the SUV was a little worse off, with a broken front bumper and tail light hanging out like an eyeball out of a socket, just lolling there, connected by some ligaments and nerves. ew. anyway, the frontier's a bit bunged up and my old man was like - man, just got it fixed from the last time and now this! so, here's what i need to know: what the hell is he talking about? what "last time"? was i there?
