Angry An Rx8 like you have never seen before!

So to make a long story short I called a tow company asked them to meet me at the Mazda dealership to tow my car to the shop across town that did the straight pipe install. I was on the bike with my girl and told him the destination point and he told me to go ahead and he will meet me there. So I get home there get off the bike a min later this guy calls and says a Lady in a car T-boned his tow truck and my car fell off. I was like WTH ill be there in a min. When he told me the location I was like what the h3ll is he doing in the middle of town instead of taking the highway. I got to the scene and this is what I saw.









I'm thinking she didn't notice a car was being towed and she ran right into it. The police are still investigating what happened, but its clear either she just didn't notice or he was trying to make the light and she ran into him. Just not my day

I had forgotten what vomit tastes like. I really can't even imagine the feeling you had in your stomach.

ouch, I feel your pain...I'd hate to see my car like that. I do have to ask though, why didn't you drive it to the shop and have your girl pick you up. I never let anyone handle my 8....hell I even help the shop change the oil (drive it in, remove filer, suprevise amount of oil put in, etc.).

all those cars passing have to be like WTH.

the car is not damaged from all sides that are not on the ground so it looks so odd.

did the guy not have it tied to the truck? when i have had my cars towed they were chained down.
