I see this primate in a land yacht, planning to do the wrong thing, I have the green light, I honk the horn(dual horns for added loudness) and make eye contact, "Hey small orange car over here" , I am making a U-turn, BTW.
Looks right at me and he rolls on through his red light, as I am honking at him repeatedly. He started to close me out against the curb as I swung in behind him, holding the horn down by now, memorizing his plate and thinking, "I only drive this car when it is nice out, not my daily driver. Where can I find two 4 lug fuchs as nice as these? Would I die if I got hit by a Suburban, even at 20 mph, thought that as I read the ESCALADE in big, friendly letters, below his door guard, that is right at eye level for me." I went to the store, bought 12 Bass Ales and feel much better now. I will be so frickin' pissed if some dickhead hits me when I am driving that car, one of the reasons it looks so bad. When I painted my convertible bug, some old lady clipped me, signalling a right turn as she hung a U turn in front of me from the right lane on a 4 lane street. Bug was pretty sharp in evasive maneuver though, can't believe I did not T-bone her, happened within a month of getting it painted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . Only got a small crease in the passenger side rear fender, near rear bumber, not really visible in photo Attached image(s) ![]() |

One of the problems with driving a small car. Even if you make eye contact, I swear people dont see you. They are looking right through you. Hell I was in a bank parking lot and a gal in a Suburban backed right into me (I was waiting for another parking spot) She hit my car, and then pushed me about 4 feet (my horn didn't work. It broke the glass (she was backing right into the drivers door) so I just started ounding on her back window to get her to stop. She finally did, and got out of her car, then started looking underneath her Suburban. I crawled out the passenger door and went over and asked what she was doing. She said "I think I ran over a bicyclist!" OH MY GOD! Insurance paid me a whoping $700. Got a green door off of a junker, and everything was back to normal.
