When I was 18 I had a wreck. Some dude ran a stop sign. It was a two stop crossing a street. He didn't yeld and pulled in front of me a both cars were totally f*&ked. Then some fat bitch comes up saying she saw the whole thing. She had our cars mixed up, and said I ran the stop sign. I didn't have a stop sign. She just saw how the cars where sitting after the crash and wanted to feel important. Thank god for skid marks. There was no doubt that he pulled out in front of me.

I hate when dumb *** people try to lie and say they saw sopmething they didn't.

Ditto that. Several years ago I totaled my wife's Protege after hydroplaning in a heavy rainstorm. Progressive was an absolute joy to deal with -- they resolved things very quickly, and to my total satisfaction. My wife was even happy, as she got a brand new Mercedez as a result. :D

Best,
Bill

I played a golf tourny in Alexandria a few years ago and have a great image of that woman in my mind. lol

I have Disabled Veteran tag on my RX-8. Guess I should look out for other RXs?

Funny airline story, but doesn't look like it's true.

I had a close shave recently. I was waiting to turn left at a 4-way stop sign at night. As soon as the car coming in the opposite direction stopped, I started to make my turn and a green Camry came barrelling past the stopped car through the stop sign. I saw the car only when it's headlights got past the stopped car's headlights. I gunned it hoping to avoid damage. The Camry swerved, but grazed my right rear. I had what looked like an ugly scratch, but with TLC it's pretty much not visible anymore. The Camry, of course, didn't stop!

The good news is I've taken care of my obligatory first scratch!
