My car is in hospital..

But Son 18 and his mates are not. And for that I am grateful.
Last night we had a storm after a long time with no rain. The roads were greasy and very wet. He aquaplaned going around a roundabout and ended up smashing the front wheel against the kerb. It took the tyre off the rim and dented up the rim. He called the RACQ and us and we went to them. The tow truck came quickly and delivered the car to our home. This morning KISA changed the tyre but when we went to drive it it was obvious that the steering was whacked. So we rang again and they towed it to the garage. Rang the insurance, but as Son 18 is under 25 there will be an $1800 excess. Ouch. What's the bet that's about what the bill we be. Merry Christmas. Sigh.
