Why is it that "young" people pay the highest insurance premiums?

 

True but, only because they don't have any teeth.

 

So she goes and gets them and goes out side and wouldn't you believe it she goes by the new truck (only 200 miles not plates still dealer tag) and the whole passenger side door-fender-running board is destroyed. The old piece of crap hit the gas instead of breaks and smashed into 5 yes 5 cars (sentra-explorer-durango-sable-caddy-
and his own altima.



I am so sorry to type this..But I am imagining this happening..And since no one got hurt..I am laughing at the thought..I am so sorry about the loss..But you will get it fixed and get over it..

It just seems like something that would happen in a movie..I bet the old fart soiled himself..

We all do stupid things..At one point or another..Lets just laugh about it...Sorry though

 

I feel your pain here. Plenty of old people going 30 mph in the fast lane in Miami, then doing abrupt lane changes across 3 lanes of traffic because they realized that their exit is coming up NOW! I was sitting in my car in a parking lot and some old lady wearing thick glasses hobbles up to her car, then throws the door open using my car as a convenient door stop. I get out with my best WTF expression, and she said "it didn't hit you that hard" in a creaky, whiney voice that about made me want to put my head through my own windshield out of sheer frustration. I think that she really thought that it is okay to use someone else's door as a stop as long as it isn't very hard. However, I don't think it is always the senile that are the bad ones. We bought a new Jetta, and after having it a week some 30-ish lady tried to change lanes without bothering to check if another vehicle was occupying the coveted spot next to her. Didn't do a whole lot of damage, but the lady, who could barely speak English, tried to convince me that the dent she put in the fender was already there. Hmmm. 7 day old car with a dent and paint from her red POS on our black paint. Okay, it came from the factory like this. Her insurance paid immediately, and the agent told me that she had been involved in two other accidents in the last two months. I think that 97.75% of the world's population of idiots are located right here in Miami. I'm just waiting to see what happens to the Expedition. And the other day I was on the water in the Sundancer, and some A88h0le in a speed yacht blew through a causeway at about 45 knots and almost launched me and another boat into the pilings. I can't even get away from these morons by seeking refuge on the water. YOu see all those bumper stickers that say "WWJD?"? I want to get one that says "Jesus Would Use His *********G Turn Signal" Time to go take my blood pressure medicine, followed by a valium.

 

Sorry to hear of your misfourtune Slick. I know it really does suck.

Let me repeat what happened to my 99 Lightning in 99.
I had the truck for approx 6 months, it was new, but not as new as yours. Any way, saturday morning I am up early and head to the laundrymat As always nobodys there at 6 yet. So I pull up front and unload the dirty clothes and then pull waaaaaaaaaay over to the end of the lot
So I load the clothes into the dryer and when Iam done I walk to the front of the store to admire my shiney black Lightning.
Then a old buick stationwagon pulls right up next to my truck.
As I watch in horror the drivers side door flings open into my passenger door As I slam open the laundrymat door and start walking briskly to my truck, I am READY to begin a major asskicking....the driver slams into my truck again WTF......well
its an old vet getting his walker out of his car to come to the coffee shop next door. He has his American Legion hat and shirt on. I stop dead in my tracks and turn around to go back into the store. Several tongue biting later, I leave. I just load the clothes into the back and never look at the passenger door till I get home. Two dings with the paint chipped. But you know, that door dinging old man probably risked his life so this country came be as great as it is! This may not have anything to do with your problems, but I got over it and Iam sure you will too. Peace

 

Maybe that's true in your state, and in Palm Springs I've gotten my Phd in driving (the Masters degree was earned living in Korea Town in L.A.)! Whe you retire here, the DMV apparantly issues you a set of those wraparound sunglasses (cataracts protection) and installs a governer on the engine set to 20 mph below the speed limit of any street you're on...

 

CA: Yes, I shouldn't have limited my post to "girls" as stupidity and impatience knows no boundaries. We men mess up too--as what happened to Slick. Can you find it in your beautiful heart to forgive an ol' L owner ?

Btw, if we all left-foot braked, this would happen less..........

You are so preaching to the choir here!!!
I say have required DRIVE tests every year past 70!
You were more calm than I would have been.

 

HI!... I once was driving my old RANGER and pulled into a parking spot at the local mall. As I and a freind were getting ready to get out. A early "90's" MUSTANG GT pulled in next to me. He was in a hurry and flung his door open and nailed my RANGER door, leaving a quite noticable crease in it. I yelled out "WTF"!!!! He just looked over at me and said "It's only a RANGER, get a grip". I was SOOOOOO pissed off and waited till he entered the mall. I put my truck in reverse and opened up my driver's door. As I was backing up at about 1 mph. I repeatedly smashed my door into the side of his new MUSTANG all the way down the side. Espeically on the fender wheel lips which are hard to get out. I bet I left 20 creases, dents, and paint chips in the side of his car. Any damage to my RANGER by doing this????? GET A GRIP, IT'S ONLY A RANGER!lol!

 

Rod,

No problem I was just making a point. My baby Brother, bless his heart. I love him. But like I have said, he has wrecked 5 cars. 4 were totaled, including my 89 Mustang (God, I loved that car) and thank God the worst injury he suffered was burns from the air bags and a broken heart when he totaled his 91 Mustang, but that kid has never lost his license. I drive fast and my insurance is outrageous and I have had my license yanked twice. But I would ride with my car wrecking Brother over an 80 year old in a golf cart on a public street any day. Then there is my Grampy. The man is 76 and still building houses. I don't mean hammering. I mean cutting, carrying, wiring, piping, drywalling, painting, everything. He's from the old school where you build a house and you do EVERYTHING because you are capable of everything. And he drives like Andretti on speed and had one accident on Thanksgiving where a crazy man in a Walmart parking lot ran down some woman in Lakewood and tossed her onto my Grampys hood. My Grammy could be related to Tagliani. This woman came home one day from lunch with her sister in her Lincoln Versailles <sp> and some guy was makin off with their Arctic Cats. My Gram chased him down and ran him into a light pole and was on the news quoted "I just didn't think that was right and I wasn't going to let him get away with it" Some people can drive and some shouldn't.
