Laws on Picketing in Calif, Need a lawyer, so I don't go to jail Options

If this all results in her insurance rates skyrocketing for a couple of years, then I'd say she got what was coming to her. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

I'd like to see the letter from her insurance company telling her she's not insurable anymore. "You ass is just too big. We can't take that kind of a hit and/or risk. Everytime you squeeze out of your car is a liability to us." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

BTW, this isn't about how much someone weighs. Just about people who ding others' cars with their butts and don't fess up.

Maybe not, but perhaps they'll tack on a surcharge. Similar thing happened to me.

BTW, as I was walikng to my parked car, I watched the same fatass door ding my car. She was surprised when I approached her 2 seconds afterward and confroneted her as witnessing what she'd done. She of course denied it. "you know", I said, "if you appologized, it would have gone a long way rather than to lie about it." Amazing how people behave!

I'm glad you persisted Don, and that it looks like it will be taken care of. I let one of these go one time... I spent my vacation doing some flares and a full custom paint job. The day after it was all done, a fat lady in a big boat parked right next to my car (even though I had parked several empty spaces away), threw open the door, and as she was trying to work her fat ass out of the car her door was sliding up and down against my fresh paint that wasn't cured yet. Took it right off. I witnessed the whole thing and didn't do a damn thing about it because I was afraid of what I might do to her or her car.

I'm also glad to hear that you followed through...

On my way home from WCC last year in BFE nevada I was at a Mcdonalds, I was the ONLY car in the lot, and sure enought big old caddy pulls up right next to my car less than one foot away, i threw down my McChicken and ran out there, putting my body between they guy's door and my car. Totally freaked they guy out!

I explained I was only trying to prevent him from dinging my car, he pointed to his door and explained that he has these door edge gaurds on his car to prevent nicks when he rests them on other cars!!! I serious think he parked that close on purpose to use his door against another car as a brace to help himself out of his car. I didn't know what to say at that point, he then told me if I was so worried about my car I should have parked out back, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I moved my car and finished my McChicken (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

In 1991, I had just completed the restoration of a '68 pick-up. Beautiful paint in original two-tone green and white. Had it out of the paint shop for 3 days. Drive it to L.A. to show it off to some friends. Went to the grocery store and parked waaayy, waayy out in the boonies. As I was coming out, I see this lady and her kid walking out of the parking lot pushing a cart. One of the store employees yells across the parking lot that carts have to stay on store property. The Mom grabs the bags out of the cart and hands them to the kid, then shoves the cart as hard as she could away from the employee who was out collecting them. Guess what was directly in the path of that 10 mph cart. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Sure enough, the cart slammed right into the side right behind the drivers side rear wheel. I ran down to the lady while yelling at the employee to come over. When I got there I told here I saw her ram the cart into my truck. She gets an attitude and says she does'nt care and starts to walk off. I was just about to start screaming when a cop pulls up and tells her to stop. I find out that the cop had been sitting a couple of rows over and was checking out my truck when she did it. She changed her attitude real quick. Got nothing out of it. Lady had no car, assets or money. Just a dumb ass that deserves anything that befalls her.

Consider yourself fortunate. A few years ago, riding my R1100S on a Saturday for the second time in well over a year (following several orthopedic ops) I have a lawn maintenance guy in a Mitsubishi Mirage hit me. Tears the forks off the bike, as well as the left side cylinder. Ca. $9,000 damage.

As I somersault through the air I am thinking, quite clearly, if this fucker broke my leg again i am going to crawl back to him on my belly and strangle the sonofabitch.

Inexplicably, he is insured, although not licensed. No matter; his insurance company sends him a refund check for his premium (!), and then declines to cover me. Seems there is a clause that requires the insured to cooperate in investigations and he didn't. Of course not; the claims dept kept calling and sending letters (if they did so at all, of course) in English, of which he spoke none.

Asswipes. Motherfuckinggoddamnedprickbastardshitass...

The same car that got the door ding I was talking about died an ugly death; it got totalled by a drunk driver, and I got nothing because he was uninsured and an irresponsible deadbeat. I had just bought new suspension and was going to install it over the weekend. Friday night I was sitting at a construction site stopped by the flagman and I see headlights in my rearview mirror. Hmm... coming pretty fast.... There were construction signs, cones, and flashing lights for a good 1/8 mile leading up to this so I can't imagine the guy isn't prepared to stop. But when it was clear there was no way he would be able to stop in time, I saw enough room in front of me to try and get out of the way, put it in gear and punched it. He still rear ended me hard enough to total the car. I don't know what would have happened if I was still at a dead stop when he hit.

There are a thousand stories like this...we all have them. It's amazing that any of us drive these things at all...but they are just cars at the end of the day.

A similar thing happened to me in the mid 80's. I went to Kmart and parked my Z car in an end stall. As I was walking to the store I noticed a huge car parked way too close to mine. A huge fat ass bitch banged my car so hard it set off the alarm. I walked back and confronted her. She denied it and opened her door to prove the dent did not line up with her door. Well of course not after her 400 lb fat ass was out of the car it rose up 4 inches. So now I never shop at Kmart. The store attracts a Kmart mentality.

I reallly don't understand what you guys are complaining about. Do you not know that ANYTHING NICE is a magnet for this sort of thing. Of course it is YOUR FAULT! No one to blame but yourselves! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I have an '83 Toyota pick up Ive had since new. Though I'm still cautious, I basically park it anywhere. Bet it doesn't have any more than more than 4 or 5 door dings in its' 22 years. My '98 Explorer?....One very minor door ding.

Maybe you guys should consider a full restoration underneath, and leave the paint bodywork alone. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) It's sure not to attract stationwagons and the like.

Here is a simple way to get back at the "lady".....

Go to her house one night and sprinkle miracle grow lawn fertilizer on her lawn in a pattern that spells out some very rude comments about her and her attitude. When she sees the white powder all over her lawn and reads the message, she will get the hose and try to hose it off the lawn... Well, that will water in the fertilizer. From then on she will have this dark green grass that spells out your message. The only way for them to ever get rid of the message is to completely remove the grass.

Best part... its not vandalism. The law says for it to be vandalism, you have to DAMAGE the property. There is no law that says you can't fertilize someone else's lawn. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

[DonTraver]

Well, my babies back. The paintless guy just left, did a great job.

Now I hope her rates sky rocket. That's what she deserves. I think her insurance company was hoping that if they gave me enough of a run around, I'd just write it off, not gonna happen. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)
