hey it's mrs. grizzz. welcome to the board. i'm chunk

 

I don't even drive and I can't ****ing stand people who can't merge.

 

Even though I'm not too keen on the opening of your story.."Aaron-like drama"...I'm sorry to hear about that...

I know how much pride you take in your car...pretty well as much as I do mine...And when some dumbass decides to stop using their common sense like that and causes damage to it, man..Pisses me off no end!!

Even though I bug ya on here, I too hope to see ya at the 3x show competing [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] ...the more the merrier!!And BTW,Dusty...When did I ever tell anyone that you bite?? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

BTW..Was the hood that badass one with all the airbrushing on it??Hope not...

 

well,
i took a few pics in case anyone is interested...

thankfully i hadn't changed over to the new hood yet, that was going to be later on this week. and i actually just bought new headlights which were gonna go on this week too, so i'm glad i was a little late in installing them.

as you can see in the last two pics from the glass and debris on the road, it happened right at the beginning of the merge, when the lady slammed on her brakes. i hate people who can't merge!!!

so anyway, she phoned tonight and said that her "repairs" are going to be $650 for the scratch in her bumper of the 91 nissan, and she's going to see her fam. Doc in the morning...i dunno. i'm pissed.

 

Thats the number one reason I do not like highway driving. On ramps while someone else is trying to merge with you is absolutely insane. Once I'm on the highway I'm fine, its getting on that I don't like.

Coffey - I see by your pictures where exactly she stopped thats insane, people like that should not have a license.

isn't it illegal to stop in a highway merge lane?

I know that hindsight is 20/20... but from your pics I see a low curb and a soft shoulder.

Instead of hitting the lady why not just swerve around her?

It's always better to try and swerve around someone rather than jam the brakes in hopes of not hitting them.

But you probably already know that NOW

 

this was my first thought about the whole thing as well. anyways, dustin, depending on the shop you take it too,,to get fixed, assuming you're going thru insurance,,,you can sweet talk them into paying a little extra out of your pocket and get your customizing done while the car is already apart,, which could save you a little money. in alot of cases custom peices like bumpers and grilles are cheaper than OEM pieces. it's worth a shot, i know alot of shops will go for it.

 

Damn man.. you were scammed hardcore...

The moral is always try to keep your distance !


You should have jumped out, dummied the bitch.. then took off... [img]tongue.gif[/img] Either that, or since this was obvioulsy a scam and there were no witnesses... call the cops... tell em this bitch locked em up so you would hit her, but you didn't... then she proceeded forward, through it in reverse, and banged into you...

they may or may not belive you.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
