What's up, Jennifer? I heard you were in a little accident the other day.
Yeah. This guy bumped into the back of my car when I stopped at an intersection.
Was there much damage to your car?
Well, enough that I had to leave it at a body shop for several days.
How did you get around?
The shop gave me a "loaner", but it ran very poorly.
For heaven's sake! Why did you accept it?
Beggars can't be choosers. I needed another car until mine was repaired, so I had to accept whatever the shop offered me.
