The Jeep had a rough year. There was the scary bear hidden under it. Kelly smooshed the right front corner when a guy stopped suddenly. It was stolen from the mechanic’s lot suffering scrapes, busted locks, and stolen (broken) radio. And then Claire smashed (worse than smooshed) the same right front when a friend stopped suddenly in front of her.

Lessons:

• 3 second gap not 2.
• Don’t jump start.
• Teens should not follow teens.
• Look both ways twice. (That was Charlie’s lesson, but worth repeating.)
