Angry This is what $11,260 looks like?

This is what happens when you drive an rx-8?... Little punk-*** ricers in Honda's try to show off and end up clipping u and putting u into oncoming traffic... I cut too hard to avoid hitting a car head on and it put me over a 7" curb then into a solid concrete wall. The guy didn't even have the courtesy to stop and see if i was ok. Nor did anyone who saw it happen. Karma can show a very nasty face, Mr. Black Accord, be very careful...

Ouch. You ok?

Another WWP...that is 4? for us so far this year. Not looking good. Similar thing happened to me yesterday. I was fuming that only cleared me in my own lane by ~2 inches (I could have touched his girlfriend if our windows were down). I immediately wished I had flinched towards him instead of away, because he WOULD have wrecked. Then I realized that it would have involved several other innocent drivers, including the big rig behind me, and I'm glad I didn't.

Boy I was pissed.

Yea, physically i'm fine, but it hurts to see my pride and joy in such bad shape... The only thing i got out of it was a burn from the steering wheel leather, and a few trips to a chiropractor. Thankfully the airbags didn't deploy or i'd probably be much further injured, and the car'd probably have been considered totalled. This actually happened a lil while ago, March 28 to be exact. I'm A OK now. Just waitin to get my car back... And yes, that's the estimate for repairs as it stands right now.

IMO, most people in Texas are horrible freeway drivers! They treat the left lane as if it's the same as the right lane, plus everyone cruises at the same pace. If you see 4 SUVs side by side on the freeway all travelling at 55mph - you're probably in Texas. Makes sense why racing down there only involves turning one way - Texans can't drive! LOL

Makes me sick to see a WWP damaged - it just looks way worse. I hope you can get it fixed and looking new again real soon.

Yah, there can't be more than two or three black Accords in all of San Antonio.
Good luck with that.

Rotary_Guy, was he trying to get you to race him?

Dude that sucks. I recently moved to San Antonio and already had almost the same thing happen to me. Someone was moving into my lane and to avoid hitting her, curbed my rims and bent them. No wonder my insurance went up when I moved here.

Unfortunately, no, no plate #... Just a description of wat i saw... A lowered, Black, Honda Accord with a fart-can muffler... Should be easy to narrow down to at least 200 cars in my area... Only difference is that this one should have my beautiful pearl paint on his rear fender... And who says texans can't drive eh? Just punk-*** ricer Texans... and their parents... and grandparents... ok, point taken. lol

rofl louisiana drivers are just the same, except instead of driving slow....they drive like speed demons with no brains.

Today on my way to the chevy dealership, some ******* in a suburban decided to floor it when i was passing him doing the speed limit, and he swerved over to cut me off and missed my front bumper by the width of a sheet of paper. almost caused a massive pileup. needless to say i called the cops and gave them his liscence plate........
