I have really always been more fandom-adjacent than anything. I am a fan of fandom??
This is how I feel, but I think it is at least partly a sort of impostor syndrome? In anything I am fannish about there is always someone way more into it that makes me look like a dilettante. But then, I often feel like dilettante is a good word for me in general, so maybe that's just accurate.
This will be the SECOND car my sister has crashed in a way that damaged the undercarriage and maybe next time she asks to borrow it I will say no.
meara, definitely file a police report!
My poor car, which I loaned to my sister for her drive to Canada
I originally read this as your cat, and was quite concerned about the cat being hurt in an accident. Still sucks, but I am relieved for your imaginary kitty.

I think that is the correct answer.
Oh no, Jess! I agree that maybe your sister should not be driving your cars.
Yikes Jessica! Also, wow, that’s an accident prone sister! I assume she doesn’t have a car so maybe is less comfortable/used to driving?? Still though.
I’m waiting for the bank to confirm what exactly happened (the guy I talked to could basically only see that it was listed as in person withdrawal and what branch) so I know what exactly I need to report! It’s all online now.
Yeah, she's lived in NYC since college (20+ years) and has never owned a car.
(To be clear, the FIRST car she totaled wasn't mine, it was the family junk car that both of us learned to drive on. I used it for two years and then left for college, and she drove it into a tree. She has many talents. Driving isn't one of them.)
There is a reason I went from driving occasionally to driving never!
