Tonight I was going to a birthday party and had just pulled up behind another car owned by a stoner guy I know. We were parked along the side of the road and out of nowhere he decided to pull out and he was just gonna go backwards instead of pulling straight forward. New bumper is all thats needed but my dad is about to beat my a$$ and his 1,100 mile car has some nice scratches and scufff marks from a dude who probably didn't know what was going on. His dad's gonna write us a check after I get a quote but I get to go to get my truck fixed and the 8 fixed all tomorrow. Yay.

Thats grounds for a beat down!

It hurts me to see that...

jodynich

Yep, good times.

justkn

man, my stomach hurts looking at that!

So, was this a slow roll back-up? How fast, how far away was he? Thanks.

You were lucky. "Stoner guys" kill people every day.

jodynich

he was about 5 feet in front of me and just stuck it into reverse and rolled right into me, he could have gone straight forward but he decided going backwards was much more logical.

if i was you i wouldnt have parked 50 yards near stoner. good luck getting it fixed.

Sin

Damn that really sux!!!...like the mazdaspeed bumper? good reason to upgrade?

I'm with sin... Somehow that doesn't sound the way it should... anyhoo, it's not the stoners that kill people it's the drunks. And I wouldn't park my dad's car anywhere near the party . Instead next time park a ways over yonder and hike it in. Don't parents teach their kids anything these days.

Experience is the best teacher. A good beating is one form of experience, but it looks like you have learned without one.

flatso

be interested to know what the price is for a new bumper?

jodynich

yeah what is the price of a new bumper?

Monique

man, that sucks! no offense but my child would NEVER take my car to a party! i plan on buying my daughter a corolla or something when she starts driving! i dont even let my husband drive my 8 anymore since he scuffed up one of my wheels. i shouldve known better tho bc he always "bottomed out" when he drove my spyder.

good luck, i hope she ends up just like new. i agree w/sin... great reason to upgrade to mazdaspeed!

jodynich

yeah, well i've been driving with a perfect record for 2 years, all the people at this party are good people, it was just a surprise birthday party for one of my friends. the guy who hit was just picking someone up next door. I wasn't even parked close.

crosswound

i know how you feel i was victim to a hit and run.

GiN

Yeah stoners don't kill people, they just back up into your car due to bad judgment - or total lack of judgment. People are are "chemically enhanced" wether it be stoner, alky, or crackhead should not be driving.

klegg

Time to order a KLEGGSPEED aero kit...so big, so ornate, so over the top..it would make a ricer kill himself.., put it on, look like something from captian scarlet..
Available in vomit green, or rodent red..

jodynich

I know he wasn't gonna kill anyone, he just made a stupid decision that resulted in him gonna be a little less rich.

crosswound

kleggspeed??

Speed-ER doc

Is that what REALLY happened or is that just the story you told DAD?

klegg

(sigh) Do a search under
'KLEGGSPEED MOD"

remember our corp. motto "FRESH IDEAS, ANCIENT JOKES"

jodynich

actually that is really exactly what happened, sad huh?

mmmdowning

Let us know what the cost to replace the nose is please.
