Idiot Driver
well I was following one of my friends home earlier tonight to make sure he got home ok(he was a little under the influence) when we get to this stoplight and it turns yellow. well there were two cars in the middle lane and i was in the right lane and was easily going to make it through the light, my friend was about 50 yards ahead of me, when this explorer sport track that was in the middle lane swerves into mine since the car in front of him stopped on the yellow. i was still going about 35 and slammed the brakes since i couldn't swerve as i was in the right lane, but he sideswiped me. no damage to his truck, but pushed my fender well upwards and put a pretty good sized dent right above it, then his truck scraped all the way down my drivers door. and the guy nearly drove off on me, until he realized that he wouldn't get away, because as soon as i saw him take off i hit the gas, and was right behind him real quick. got all his insurance info, but i'm still very pissed. i'll post pics tomorrow.

Oh ****, am scared to lose my car that way. Once happened to me some gal on the next lane of the road started giving attention to my Iroc (or me, really) and we're ridin 70 klicks an hour (35 somthn mph). She starts to frigging cut on my lane for, idk what's the reason she was doing that, proly she just was a little too horny to drive that day, needed a fix or somethin, really. Almost squeezed me, I just accelerated luckily noone was infront of me. Tried to make her pull over, she just showed me a finger, whata bitch!

Man, sorry to hear that. I got caught up in a situation like that a while back, and it just sucks. At least you caught up to him, so insurance will take care of it.

Almost had it happen to me had a woman in a van yesterday with her foot on the dash, some contortionist crap or something kept cutting into my lane but everytime i went to slow down to let her in front she would slow down or i'd speed up a little and she would also so finally we got to a light and i was infront with a clear path ahead of me and just got on it at green barked em going into second then pulled in frotn of her and slowed down so she rode me for awhile then i hit the brakes when she was damn near on top of me and she finally backed off. If she had hit me i swear man, the perks of driving a show worthy car daily i guess.

i didn't know you moved out of lubbock pro, but it was on University and the Loop, right there by Target, looks like i'm gonna have to redo the whole car, as i'll need a new fender, and i don't feel like trying to match up those flames, so hopefully i'll get a good deal of money out of it, i havn't had a chance to call his insurance yet because i've been working all weekend, but first thing tomorrow morning I am.
