WTF ?

so you want an update on the whole car BS... here goes, so I spent most of yesterday calling up Volvo dealers and recycling centers to get a hold of the sunroof glass... seems pretty straightforward or at least I thought it would be... The glass alone is 700$ + 4-5 hours of labor at 140$ a pop.... So we're talking about 1260$+tx TO REPLACE THE FKEN SUNROOF! What kind of crookery is this this ? But it's not even over yet! When I thought I'd be spending today looking for the part and getting it installed, I'm actually looking for a garage to repair my steering mechanism as I had an accident yesterday night!
You're thinking "You gotta be kidding me!". That's what I thought too!!! I had almost got to my folks' place (indoor parking for 1 and 2, the window repair shop is next door), literally 60 secs away, I hit a patch of black ice and slid into the curb... Was barely able to drive the car to the garage, driving at 20 clicks an hour and barely able to keep the car straight.... What, another 3 grand to fix?
Talk about bad luck or fken running streak of it... OR simply a case of a bad eye! I don't know what to think anymore! This is beyond comprehension... I'm not this staunch believer in evil eyes and what not but C'mon! too many damn things happening to me that I cannot explain nor can I make sense of.
Pics will be added in an edit, I don't have my D80 on me, so phone pictures (1MP quality) are my only option ATM.
Peace!
