I haven't been around much but figured I would share the trauma. Had a guy try and share the same lane, same spot and at the same time as myself. Well he'll be buying my pass side door and quarter panel. The dude says to me " I didn't see you there, sorry ". To which I reply " The car is bright yellow you dumb f**k! ". Thankfully the cops showed up rather quickly. Looks to be about only 2K worth of damage so it shouldn't be in the shop very long..

 

he didnt fishtail u???

 

 

ahhh the long forgotten shoulder check.

to few people do it anymore.

sorry to hear your cobalt got hurt man.

get well soon

 

^^like the new sig

 

Nah, I was in the left lane and he decided to go around the car in front of him and turned into my lane as I passed him. The side of my car looks like I just finished a Nascar racer!

 

Maybe he was color blind.

But good luck hope the balt gets back on the streets soon!

 

sucks man but you didnt have to be an ******* about it, im sure the person felt bad enough about it

 

u gotta take a pic with u standing on the door that would be hilarious

 

Trust me, I cold have been an ******* if I wanted to. It was just the way he came off like it was no big deal. If I can find my camara pics will follow.

 

agreed. maybe he was just trying to keep calm..?

 

I don't think he was out of line, I probably would have said the same thing or a whole lot worse. There's absolutely no reason to change lanes into someone except driving with your head up your ass and not paying attention.

 

I don't blame you for your comment. I had some dumb redneck almost merge into me when I was driving my Jeep (Lifted, LOUD, and Flashy). He begins to berate me at the next stopsign (I had my top down). I just reply with "If you can't see this monstrous piece of ****, you need to GTF off the road."

 

My response would have been similar, but with an added; "Its called a blind spot for reason, maybe you should turn your head and f**king look next time!"

 

great..im driving to CT tomrorow to pick up some parts...whats he driving?

 

That sucks..Good luck with gettin it fixed

 

You guys are funny. He was driving a Saturn..with dent resistant panels no less. Ya see, the problem is that most accidents are preventable. I work 55-60 hours a week to pay the combined $855. a month for my car, bike and insurance. And add that to a family with 2 kids also. Could I have been calmer? Yes. People need to take the time to be aware that there are others around them who want to get home in one piece to thier families and without any financial hardship. I do believe that this guy was truly sorry and just had a brain-fart.

 

Around here he would of been picking your teeth out of his fist.

Sorry you car got damaged but everybody has brain farts.

 

Number one, No one would be picking any part of me out of their fist. With 13 years in the Infantry and being 34 years old i'm ready to dispatch more than my share of people or at least send them home knowing that they were in a fight. Second, I just got off the phone with his insurance company. Guess what?? They dropped him two weeks ago for non-payment!! So my question is....Do I have the right yet to be pissed off and be an *******???

P.S. 2485.00 worth of damage that MY insurance will probably have to cover.

 

Ouch, that's harsh! I'd be paying him a visit to rake some cash out of him!

 

855? damn.. thats a house payment..

 

Well my insurance is around 260. ( soon to go up i guess ) and i did just pick up a '07 R1. Boy I love my toys.

 

Im lucky ive been with my insurance company so long i guess. I only pay 310 every 3 months for my Cobalt and my Monte Carlo.

 

Thats a great deal. I have the Cobalt, a 2000 Blazer and the bike all full coverage at 260 a month for 5 months on and a month off.
