Fender Benders

[counterpoint]

Aren't they so fucking aggravating? I don't know how many of you here actually drive, but for those who do, have you ever gotten into one?

I just did today. There's this road coming off a drawbridge here in down that has a turn lane left, a straight lane, and one curving right with its own separate light that changes on a different time. Well, there was a car in front of me, who I thought had made the light before it turned red, so when I yielded to wait for traffic, I inched forward (you can't see past this huge-ass building in the way) and as I tapped the gas to move forward a bit, CRUNCH. I slammed into him. His car only suffered a small blue paint mark down on his bottom bumper and a few smaller scratches that can be buffed out, but mine...

Okay, it's not THAT bad, but it's significantly worse than the damage to his car. My turn signal light cover was shattered, white paint under and next to the bumper, and the bumper itself was knocked out of place. Ehck. Oh well. He was cool at least and didn't call the cops or anything. We just exchanged insurance info and left it at that.

It still sucks though... but life goes on.

Oh, and my tire looks bald in that picture, but it's really not, I promise. :P

I wouldn't know... but my friend's Corolla was totalled, so he got a new car, and then his mom drove it into his garage. Massive crack in the front bumper. I'm guessing he's pissed...

When my car was still my brother's, he had a fender bender. It was pretty bad from what I can remember. There might be pictures of it somewhere....

I've never personally been in a fender bender, but I know how aggravating it is. Especially when you hit them, but it actually wasn't your fault.

Like for example, your behind the car whos first to the light. The light turns green, so the car in front of you starts easing forward about to go, so you start easing forward aswell.

Then all of a sudden, BAM! He decides for some fan-fucking-tastic reason to slam on his breaks, and you hit him.

I just hate ignorant drivers. Some people need to be a bit more considerate, I mean if the lights green, you go. You don't fake the person behind you into thinking your gonna go, then slam on your breaks and let him rear end you.

God, people can be so stupid.

I had a girl try to pass me in a parking lot last month and take my front bumper off of my Thunderbird. Funny thing is I changed the oil in her car today at work... :D

She lied to the insurance and made up this bullshit story so I wrote a strongly worded letter...

I got in a wreck a few months ago. A truck in front of me swerved, no blinkers or brakes, no signals at all. After they move, I see a car stopped. I slammed on my breaks, but couldn't stop in time obviously. They gave me a citation, and the only reason was because nobody could identify the truck. Had we been able to identify it, they would have gotten the citation instead because they were following too closely and failed to use their blinker to change lanes. God I hate the blame game :rolleyes: And now my license is suspended until December 16th. I'm not happy.

Thats retarded. I swear I'm going to get a camera installed on my dashboard like cops, so when something like this happens I can identify the ass hole myself.

[Raptor22]

Thats why I am glad that I can identify vehicles easily, and even make an effort to read the plates on vehicles driving badly.

[Ihaveleftforever]

Not that bad :)

[Raptor22]

Not that bad :)

lol. That'll buff out... :P

[-Silence]

Yeah, I was on my way to my brothers Halloween party (so I was dressed up) and I looked up from the road to read a church sign. I rear-ended a drunk driver, I got two tickets and they got arrested. Damn thing totaled my car and gave me a fat lip.

[Skeptical Bear]

Those retards just piss me the fuck off. There's just some people that should just stick to public transportation or walking. Like really?

[TheSleepingInsomniac]

My babysitter was in one a few years back, I don't know what happened i was entertaining the baby.

[Bougainvillea]

Never. I've only been in an actual wreck. I had a nose bleed and looked down at my hand because it was smeared and I ran a red light and then the front half of my jetta was gone.

That sucks dude. My car got creamed again by a stoner attempting to do a J-turn in my Culdesac and hitting my car when it was parked...

[Bougainvillea]

Yeah. I loved that jetta. It had so many awesome qualities and perks. :P I'd be so angry. Mainly because I love both of my vehicles to death. And it sucks when people ruin shit like that.

Yeah dude, I just put $2000 into my car and had it slammed into. He didnt have insurance, I got $1900 from my insurance company and I am going to sue the fucker for the other $500 its gonna take to fix it.

The damage doesn't look that bad on my car from the front. From the side though, it's pancaked halfway in on the driver's side. Had the engine not been mostly on my side of the car, it would have been worse.

Lawrence: Ouch! Tough luck. At least you're okay though, good thing you didn't end up with the front half of your car.

Connor: I don't blame you, that's ridiculous: You don't have insurance, you don't drive. Such an unnecessary incident on their part.

[Bougainvillea]

I suppose. But I still miss that car. It was in awesome condition, and was a special edition one.

Yeah its pretty insane, the guy was blowing trees while driving recklessly in reverse when he hit my car. He then fled the scene and didnt return for 15 minutes after he went to hide his weed. When the cop showed up over an hour later, the guy who hit my car didnt even get a ticket for driving without insurance or a license (on him)...

They didnt even worry that he smelled like weed or that he left the scene for 15 minutes. He got off really easy...

[Fourth Dimension]

ive never personally been in one with me driving but they are annoying

[Rutherford The Brave]

I actually never hit or gotten hit by someone. My car is good at avoiding massholes.

[urbancombat]

i've been in a couple of wrecks but luckily in other people's cars not mine the only one i've ever had was i went through a fence at my grandpa's all it did was scratch the paint tho
