Car collisions and why they are bullshit

I barely tapped the guy in front of me, so there was no whiplash involved (plus it was a Ford Escape).
My car is a fucking tank.
that's my philosophy
Remember the lady who sued because her coffee was too hot?
The burgler that hurt himself and sued the home owners of the house he broke into?
This is America son.
just more cushion for the pushin'
Nah, stone cold sober
Driving up that way to give my dad his passport so he could get to Canada (he got all the way to the border and realized he'd forgotten it), been driving for about three hours, car drifted off to the side, I quickly readjusted, used to a heavier car, spinning the rear end off the side, which then led to skipping like a stone down a grass median.
Shattered my driver's side window, threw everything into disarray, didn't deploy the airbags.
So uhh, wear a seatbelt kids, it saved my life, straight up.
The shame of it is my dad was like 10 minutes away. He got there as soon as the police did.
I have a weird luck thing with serious injury. See: lighting my face on fire, slicing through most of my finger with a buck knife, some serious falls and concussions, stuff like that.
my poor truck has been through a lot
be it at my hands or some other ignorant bastard(or bitch, in one instance)
The outside frames of cars are less dense than they used to be.
The people in the cars don't get jolted as much in a car accident, because of this.
Costs more money, but fewer injuries. So yeah. Or is that just race cars?
haha, what?
Dude jumped OVER his fucking bike.
like woosh.
Otherwise he probably would lost that leg.
Some dick must have cracked one of my tail lights at some point, though, because one day I went to my car and hey, the tail light is cracked. Never got any contact info or anything.
they then tried to pull a hit-and-run but they were trying to outdrive a taxi which was just not happening, so they pulled over
about a year later my friend, who had the best view in the car of them failing to slow down for a red light and the car stopped at it, got a summons from court to appear (in scotland) and testify
now that's always fun
being in a car meant to kill your dad
now that's always fun
Hit me in the side of my car, I got out and talked to him for a minute then he drove off.
He was an illegal immigrant in a truck that didn't belong to him and was scared so he had taken off, but this was in my subdivision which was mostly under construction, and he had alot of cinder blocks in his truck when he hit me, so wasn't to hard to figure out where to find him.
I'm imagining a deer in the driver's seat, looking horrified.
which one
they're two

I KNEW I FUCKED UP SUCK MY DICK
I also learned that my car at the time had Styrofoam in the bumper..
My sister hydroplaned across four lanes of traffic and finally stopped in front of a tree in someone's backyard after going through a brick wall. There's a light at the intersection now. My sister says she has a vivid memory of seeing the brick wall and yelling "Oh God, I'M GONNA DIE!" and is now the most religious person I know, so that's kinda cool..
(shit tons of dear there, michigan)
and my ma won't shut the fuck up, talking to this dude my brother got stoned with all the time
marty, i believe
so, ma and marty continue jabbering as i plead with her to watch the road
about 4 seconds later a deer comes into view as i duck and yell to look out
the front end of the p.o.s. we were riding makes a loud THAMP as a painful yelp leaves the deer, trailing off mid-air
the initial hit sheared off some of his shoulder and blood flew all over the damn place, covering part of the windshield and a good portion of the road where we hit it
we come to a stop and i got out of the car, fucking dumbfounded at my ma as well as the deer that hurdled through the fucking air
only to see it get up and shudder back down into a ditch
i sit back down in the car to take it all in
and queens of the stone age's No One Knows is playing
I had been going probably 15 mph at that point and slam on my breaks, only to find my car skid and slide right into the back of the truck. Granted, I probably should have been further back considering the wet pavement, but it was so unexpected because the road was clear ahead of us and there should have been no reason to slow down at that point because there weren't any legal ways to turn left at that point.
At that speed, the crash was able to cause $12,000 dollars worth of damage to my car, a Jetta. The trucks hitch went straight through my grill and ripped the engine, pushing it back and to the right of my car.
Here's where the bullshit comes;
The reason the truck in front of me stopped, was because the fiesta in front of him decided to do an illegal U-Turn once he made it past the concrete partition that separated the left and right lanes. He didn't even stop, he just kept on driving.
Didn't end there either. I used the dealership that I bought it from, to repair it after the accident, and they ended up doing such a shitty job that I had to bring it back multiple times. One time was when the car wouldn't turn off at all, I had to unhook the battery each time I got out to keep it from draining. I took it to another repair shop and they said it looked like the last guys hadn't connected and secured the wires properly.
Then my car started making this grinding sound, sporadically at first and then more consistent as time went on. One day I was pulling into the parking lot where I worked, when suddenly my power steering fails and I'm left desperately pulling the wheel to get it to turn. I end up having to stay an hour after I left work to wait for a tow truck. The next day I wanted to see if it was still fucked, so I took it out around my street. About half a block out and I hear something fall out of my car, so I turn it back around and park and look for whatever it was that fell out. Turns out it was my alternator pulley, which looked like it hadn't been fastened with the proper bolts. The holes were all torn apart around the inside edges, like they had been rattling around.
After that, I was leaving my street when I heard a crack and suddenly my car started making a sound like the exhaust was rattling or something, I turn it back around and call the dealership and get it towed back in. Turns out a bolt on my transmission had broken free, I'd need to come back in a few more days.
When I come to get it, the manager comes out and pulls me aside and starts talking about how tread on the tire shows that I'm driving my car too hard and that if I keep it up, they're not gonna honor my warranty anymore. I don't know what pissed me off more, the fact that this guy is threatening the contract we made, the condescention in his voice, or the fact that it took a month to fix my car after the accident, and since then I had spent 3 months bringing it back because thing were either fixed improperly or ignored all together, but I wasn't too happy.
I told him that I didn't appreciate the tone he was taking with me, that I was the purchaser of this car, not my father, me and as such, he should treat me like a customer not some spoiled dick ruining some car his daddy bought him. I told him that I didn't appreciate having to bring my car back for things that couldn't be my fault, things like wires not properly connected or pulleys falling out. Then I told him not to worry because I couldn't wait to get rid of that piece of shit.
He turned around and muttered, 'Good'.
Such a rude dick hole.
if not ill have to come back for their insurance details and such
Why not both?
Cocksucker
Oh man that is perfect
edit: Jesus Filler I would have wanted to punch that dude so bad
Can you sue if they don't in any circumstance though, considering they're marketed as a safety feature?
Is this the lesson we should all walk away from car wrecks with?
union guys loosened the bolts on the front right tire of dad's badass mint green el camino when he still worked during some rough shit between GM and UAW
unfortunately, he was not in the car that day
me and ma were
i remember looking over and thinking, somebody's front tire is flying off!
OH FUCK IT'S US OH GOD SPARKS WHAT THE FUCK MY POGS ARE DROPPING EVERYWHERE
wow
I would've wanted to kill that guy
being a fucking ass after all the bullshit you went through
Wait so you didn't end up getting it fixed?
Satans..... hints.....
PS4: Voranth
Jesus christ! Are you like an asshole magnet or something that people keep having to pull this shit?
I'm guessing you should start carrying a gun.
