The Worst Luck With Cars....

Not sure how many people know or how many people I really told... I recently bought a new car. I sold my little sister my Mazda Protege and bought myself a 2007 Mazda 3(I didn't really shop around, i am devoted to Mazdas LOL).
My protege and I have been through many hard times though. Being hit by big ass trucks who run stop signs, stop lights, also you have to love the ones who drive through parking lots and hit you too. So my driving record is a wreck but I only have one at fault accident(only one?!!). yeah... Plus it is Texas so "everything is bigger" in Texas and everyone has to have those damn big trucks... anyways... {/Rant} lol
So last night it is storming and the lights go out. My sister, brother and I all go downstairs and start going to bed on the couches when my parents come downstairs... I go to the front door where they are at and low and behold... My car. There my car is... where I parked it? Yes. But how far underwater? oh oh oh.... I of course just start screaming and freaking out. My insurance wouldn't let me get my own policy because I have bad luck with cars(my driving record which shows i am consistent with having bad luck). I am in the middle of switching insurance companies but... this car is still covered(has not been 30 days yet). I call my friend who gets his friend that has one of those big obnoxious trucks that I hate to pull my car out of the water. The water wasn't to my waist but it was above my knees. We didn't need the truck because it was too late for the inside of my car. The water level inside was just as bad as it was outside. SO we opened the door, put it out of park and rolled it out of the flooding area(keep in mind that we are on a curb in one of the lowest parts of the neighborhood so only our house and two others were really affected).
So yeah.... I Have been shop vacing my car all morning... My friend checked my cars levels and said there didn't seen to be any water in it so that checked out. I may go and get them replaced anyways (wonders if her car warrantly would cover that).
Oh yeah get this. I am bidding on a notepad on YJ.. i put a max bid of 5K yen on it just for the hell of it last night before the lights went out. Someone bidded up to 5K! i am still the max bidder by default.. i just went a bit higher. But that much money for a notepad?!? COME ON!!! LOL AND they did it 100 yen at a time... That is so obnoxious.... (I am constantly at war with one japanese bidder over Furoku on YJ...)
That has been my night/morning. Don't be surprised if I do an offer period on my entire gallery because of damages. I may have to... but I am going to do everything in my power for it to not come to that *dies of exhaustion*
