Default Hellish IS CURSE RETURNS!

I thought last night was the best night of my life which it still kind of is but my car thinks otherwise. I was driving on 10th ave in New York City and I was changing lanes this women driving a mercedes saw me but didn't react. She was in my blindspot she even told the cops that she saw me look back and not see her. Instead of hitting the brakes she tries to speed up and while she does that I am taking the turn at the same time. What ends up happening is I save my rearend but she destroys my rear door. Scratches the **** out of my front door and my sideskirt and part of the bumper are screwed.

Sorry for the inappropriate language...

I will post pictures up soon...

By the way god damn this thread...

That sucks. Hope it gets repaired soon.

Prior to your accident, what made last night the best night of your life? That's a bold statement.

This is what happened to the mercedes! A valet was driving it not even the real owner of the vehicle. I wonder how he will feel when he finds out the car that he left for servicing got messed up...

Yeah, well thats the last time I drive into the city again. Honestly, everyone drives like a moron in the city and because of that even your own performance starts to go down.

I got to spend it with someone special...She had me calm and relaxed the entire time even an occassional laugh every now and then.

Yeah, well unfortunetely because she was in my blindspot and I changed lanes I am probably liable here. I got hurt a little bit as well...

You do realize, you should since the cop issued you a ticket, that the lane she was in was her lane? When you decided to change lanes, considered a change of direction, you must check, signal and yield to any vehicles occupying said lane.

Just because she did not want to let you in does not make her a biatch. It's your responsiblilty when making a change of direction to first make sure the lane is clear and if not to yield to any vehicle occupying the lane.

Sorry, the damage is your own fault whether she sped up, wouldn't let you in, or whatever justification you can come up with placing blame on her.

Well the cop didn't issue me a ticket they took about 2 hours to even respond. And yes I do realize that I am at fault at the end of the day in this situation. I am not trying to sugarcoat it and even when I spoke to the police I told them the truth. I am not the type of person to try to hide my liability here.

I am suprised that the build quality of the car is so good that the window still rolls down.
