Title: When was your last car wreck?
Post by: Dirty Sanchez on July 04, 2010, 10:56:02 PM
Mine was this last wednesday morning on the way to work.  435/35 interchange.  Got rear-ended by a cute girl, who got rear ended by another cute girl. 

Bent up my bumper, barely $500 damage.  The other two rice burners weren't so lucky.

I'm not one to try to tell other people how to live their lives BUT I would prefer to rearend 2 cute chicks, rather than get rearended by 2 cute chicks.  Hey, different strokes for different folks though.

Saw a freakin hit and run a couple weeks ago.  Couple douches in some old POS smashed into a newish Accord, then backed back into the QT parking lot and took off.  I hate SOBs like that.

I got h&r'd twice in a month a few years ago.  The first one I was standing in front of my car waiting for him to pull out of his stall when he (some rich coll of engineering alum) scraped up my bumper in the Union parking lot.  It was on the way out of the 1st annual bold and daring recruitment party and hypefest at the the alumni center.   The damage was very minor but it was the principle of the thing. The second was just bizzare.  Hit me overnight in my parking lot in my apartment in t-town in a way that to this day that I still can't figure out how they did it.  Unfortunately it was much worse damage.

Hit a bicyclist a year ago from zero visibility due to the sun. I came over a hill as he was crossing my path.

The summer of 1986 I had a disgareement with my landlord's neighbor.  I jury rigged the accelerator of my 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC C126 with a knife and ran it into his yard at high speed where it flipped and caught on fire.

I turned it into my insurance but they declined coverage.  State Farm!   :curse:

I can pedal insanely fast on my bike.  And I've got pegs on the back wheels if I get a date.  So really it's by choice, man.

So does he and/or she stand on front pegs while sitting on the handlebar, or stand on rear pegs with a death grip on your shoulders?

It's all theoretical at this point, but I'd say I go both ways.  Although I do worry about a date accidentally causing me to pass out by squeezing the pressure points on my shoulders -- could get ugly.

a few months ago, I sneezed while driving and thus was unable to avoid the driver in front of me when he ran into the car in front of him. Got an inattentive driving ticket for it too.  wondered if sneezing would have been an acceptable defense if I had tried to fight the ticket. if not for the sneeze, i would have successfully swerved around the accident (almost made it with the sneeze).

Gotta hate sneezing and hearing screeching tires.

Yeah, I always worry about sneezing while I'm driving.  You know you're about to sneeze but you can't do anything about it...And I generally sneeze 2 or 3 times in a row, so that's way too much time spent driving with my eyes closed.
