Hey... So I get off of work tonight right? I go over to a 24 hour auto parts store. Get a new air filter and some fuel injector cleaner. To treat her right ya know. Well I pull out of the parking lot. Turn right and go to the light and make a u turn. I look ahead. Clear. I am still rolling and I turn. Shifting now 2nd into 3rd and wham! and the tires squealing. It's just clicked in my mind. "Someone just hit me". I'm pretty sure I'm ok. Car stalled, lights were ON. I get out of my car. This guy is in the middle lane window rolled down cussing me out. Not an "Are you ok?" "or an "I'm sorry I rearended you" but a your f-ing dumb. So they pull out in front of me. Ok he gets out of his car and so does his concubine. She starts flipping me off tellin me it's a rental and I'm done etc. So the guy says, "How much you got?". I said. "huh?" He said "We can settle this right now without the cops." I said "I'm a minor. I'm calling my dad" SO he said "Fine we'll call the cops and they will settle this." Well the cop gets there and he asks for my license and insurance etc. I said ok. So I'm sitting in my car waiting for the cop to come over for my info and the guy that hit me comes over to my car and, trying to be all buddy buddy says, "Hey everything is ok we are just going to exchange information etc.". I was on the phone with my dad and with my mouth open said, "You need to leave. You were cussing at me and threatening me. I don't want to talk to you." So he comes back with another "f you" and a "Wait until they leave". Now I'm not a small kid and I keep a big wrench used for tightening trailer hitch balls by my parking brake. I get out of my car and told him "What was that? What are you going to do after the cops leave?" Loud enough to where the cops could hear me. So my dad shows up and the cop comes over and gets my side of the story. I didn't get a ticket. Wasn't my fault. About that time it hit me and I just started crying. I love my car. It's what makes me happy. now my AX trip is canceled next weekend which I got the time off for and was getting it all ready to go. I had to have the car towed home. I barely got it 40 feet into my garage as the rear passenger side fender is crumpled and rubbing on the tire. I will get pics tomorrow. I might have to come with a post on "If it totals what can I do to get the most out of it" Or it will be a "Is this fixable and if so how much would it cost".
Vent mode off. Brief story? Douche bag hit me. Cusses me out. His fault. No ticket. Might need help later on if it's fixable or not and if totaled I may need some help getting as much as I can. |
