Near miss at Dick's
I met up with Shin and we have some good but expensive japanese food off of 45th. We hit up China town but it was pretty dead so we went down to Fremont. Had a good time checking out the eye candy drinking a few beers. Shins stomach was calling for food.
Dick's we went!
So every Fri and Sat night there is like 2-3 Seattle Cops who stand around to make sure nothing crazy goes down. One of them is a black guy about 5'11 and pretty chunky. I have talked to this guy in the past a lot. He drives a AP1 S2000. He loves to talk cars. So I had my food on my trunk and got wrapped up talking to the cop. I went back to grab my food and soda.
About than a Ford Ranger pulls in next to me I didnt think twice about it. I turned around and his front bumper was in my rear corner panel. I walked around and my heart hit the floor. I banged on his tail gate and walked to his drivers door.
This guy was in his like late 50s and looked ******* drunk.
"Excuse me but your car is parked INTO my car", I said.
He replied, "What? No i'm not there is enough room."
At this point i'm getting pretty pissed. "Get out and look your stuffed into my rear bumper."
He gets out and just stares at me and is like, "Well I parked there because there wasn't any room next to you." You could have parked a ******* school bus next to me sideways.
This point 2 of the cops that are there come walking over to look. I signal to them to give me a 3rd and 4th set of eyes to confirm i'm not high or magically drunk off of two beers 2 hours ago.
I told the guy, "Dude I hope you have insurance because you better start writing down all your info right away."
He kept saying something over and over like "I'm so sorry I hit your nice car I don't know what to say." Something like that.
We pulled my car forward to get away from his bumper and I just walked away with a paint scuff. I lucked out big time. That could have been nasty body damage for sure.
They guy kept rattling his mouth and the cop with the S2k was like, "Sir enough, sir shh and go get some food, SIR ENOUGH if he wants your info you will give it to him. He doesn't so go get a cheeseburger and thats enough."
Shin's eyes were like dinner plates cause the cop was yelling at this guy. Luckily we had the most LEGIT Seattle cop there. He totally had my back for anything.
I just told this guy, "Dude think of this your lucky day, quit trying to make up excuses, get something to eat and go home and sleep off being drunk."
I guess I could have made a huge ******* scene and had the cops hit him with a DUI. I could have been the typical lazy american and took him to court and got lots of money to pay off my car, buy a turbo kit (even though I would make my own setup), full MS kit and other goodies.
No harm, no foul. I just let it go. It could end up being a can of worms. My car is safe thats all that mattered.
I would have taken pictures but when I reached for my camera I forgot I didn't charge my battery. ****.
End story.
