Unhappy Got re-ended today

I was on my way to school today when I saw some kid in a nice red nissan Z car zipping in and out of lanes. He got right next to me and I looked at his careless attitude and thought "hes going to f' up that nice are of his someday."

Going down a hill the next stop light turned yellow, I had plenty of time to make it through but I gave it a little extra gas just to be sure. Then for some reason the mini-van that looked like it was going to go through slammed on its brakes. I quickly applied mine and did what I always do when its going to be close.

I looked in my re-view mirror to see who was coming up behind me. Sure enough it was the Z car kid. He saw me going through the light so he got behind. One look and I knew he was going to hit me. I was still deciding if I should jump out and flop on the ground so I could sue for whiplash when he hit me. My truck didnt move an inch, or even rock back and forth.

Damage to me: Some dirt and paint on the underside of my bumper.

Nissan Z car: 2 inch rectangular hole in what should be the front bumper. Scratches and dent on the whole front side and his hood got bent up.

After exchanging info, and telling him I wouldnt claim it I got back in my truck, looked at my "Built Ford Tough" floormates, and thought "D*amn Straight"

PS - I was just joking about the whole whiplash thing. I hate people who do that.

Glad to hear that everyone was okay...

Sounds like the guy was being a goon... poetic justice of sorts even.

I hate to hear about someone sustaining property damage but, in this instance, it sounds like he had it coming to him...
