ok, now that thats said, let me explain my self. i was driving back to work from my grandmas house, and im in the center of 3 lanes. this stupid old bitch turns into the middle lane, and while im about to pass her slow old ass decides to get into my lane! ok, shes a bitch, so i swerve into the far lane to get away from her, and this fucking old bitch comes into my fucking lane again!! this time i have no where to go, so i slam on the breaks, and i loose control of the car. im thinking while this is happening, oh hell no, this is not happening. all i hear is screaching tires and i almost hit this dumb bitch when my car starts to turn, and than i slam into the fucking curb!!!! this fucking bitch is still goin, so i fucking floor it and block her off, forcin her to stop. i call the cops and they come, shes at fault, so her insurance has to pay. the damage-my front left tire is fucked, its bald as hell where it hit the curb and theres huge ass gash in my rim, but amazingly it didnt bend. my front airdam is also fucked, so now i need a new rim, tire and airdam. the damage isnt that bad, but its unreparable, as the airdam is cracked from a mount, and the metals gone from a huge part of the lip of my rim. the tires obiviously fucked though, and now the alignments off.

Shit.. that sucks. At least there wasn't any major body damage. and no one was hurt, and she didn't run from the scene. It's all fixable man.

hEY dan I WORK VERY CLOSE TO iNSURANCE AGENTS IF YOUR RIM IS ALL FUCKED UP you are very lucky cause they must buy you 4 yes 4 brand new rims , if your rims are discontinued they must buy you new ones so talk to the body shop that is going to do the repairs and let them know you cant find any rims like yours cause thier discontinued, and if they dont give you 4 tires with it go drive the car 4 a couple hours and put your E brake on and drag your tires to make a flat spot on your tires, and the again will have to replace your tires cause, it is a accident related problem and its a hazard for you to drive with unsyable tires!!!

I was in Baltimore Md, downtown. An old lady cut me off making a U turn in here BMW 5i series. I locked all brakes and into the media curve popping all my four tires. Guess what - it F uped my tires and wheels. I was stuck in town for 2 days waiting for my VW GTI. Hey freedom is what its all about driving. Its a risk you take everytime you drive. Sorry that happened to you.

Hey Dan that happened to me back in '91, little old lady driving down this 4 lane highway, cruising along in the right lane with her left turn signal on. Well I followed her for 2-3 miles trying to get up the nerve to pass her, when I finally started around her, the dumb bitch turned right into the side of me. Her car smashed my right front fender behind the front wheel and ripped the entire door skin off the passenger door, allit did to her car was pull the big steel bumper loose from the drivers left front corner. The impact knocked me into the grass median and almost in to a ditch. Well what happened next was the real pisser, the damn State Trooper comes out and after hearing both of us tell what happened, he charges me with failure to slow to avoid an accident. Well after several months of going round and around with the Insurance Nazis, I end up having to pay for my own damages, to the tune of $3800 dollars, old lady gets off for like $500. I don't pass old people anymore, I follow them until their safely home then I go on my way, LOL cause you just want to slap somebody. Oh by the way I was driving an almost brand new '90 Honda Civic. racerb
