Who else is having an awesome night?
Yay.

Sigh. Some drunk guy ran a red and I clipped his bumper. The brakes on the 8 are good, but not THAT good. And by run a red I don't mean tried to catch the yellow but just missed it. My light was green for a minute or so. Goddammit. It's only cosmetic but still... ugh.

At least you are OK, but damn, these 8s are cursed. Sorry to see another one damaged, especially black.

so this happened in "the OC"? Just kidding man, I know it's "OC". I grew up over there in Brea.

Sorry about that bad luck. Hopefully you can use this as justification to get a new MS front bumper.

Ouch! Man sorry to hear that. But be thankful that it could have been MUCH worse if you'd been a fraction of a second earlier.

Sorry Spork. I hope it isn't too much of a hassle getting it repaired.

Thanks guys.

Yeah it was a pretty crappy night. The first thing that ran through my mind was "What the f? I thought my light was green!" I look up while slamming on the brakes and see, yep, my light was definitely green. Then I was thinking please let me stop in time! When I hit him I was hoping it'd barely be anything and then when I saw it... geez.

I am lucky though. If I were like 2 seconds earlier in going through that intersection, he would've broadsided me since he was coming from the left. I have a feeling if that had happened I'd be seriously hurt. Sigh. There's so much damn hassle this causes too.
