Bus Hit My Car!
Double parked in a city bus zone... getting out of the car the bus hit my door :mad:
Only 4000k on my RX8!! Then the bus drive calls the cops and they give me a ticket for being parked in a Bus Zone! Monday I will bring it to Mazda I think they will have to replace it with a brand new door!! Sucks!!! |
Two things pics, and don't park in a bus zone.
|
^^^^Ditto to what Stone said, and sorry to hear your car is damaged.
|
will post pics tonight!!
|
Shitty !!!!!!!
|
Gosh, not another one of these stories....sorry to hear that, but ditto...don't park there...sorry
Good luck, poor 8 |
And you opened the door without looking? I mean it totally sucks but it sounds like you should vent on yourself doesn't it?
|
What color 8 ??
|
Bus Driver was such a Player hater!! Trust me if you would have seen the smile on his face when he looked at my damage!! I promise you he did not try to avoid my door when passing..
Yes it was 80% my fault .. But the bus driver could have tried to avoid it .. The street had tons of room for him to go around! |
Sun-Silver
|
Must have been weird watching you afterwards driving without a front door... sorry about your unfortunate incident.

I had a feeling it was silver. |
My door did not get ripped off the car.. It got ripped back hard to put in words a picture will be better .. It does not look that bad.. But I think they will have to replace the door... The door closes fine and is only damged in one area but the car is Brand New :(
It looks like someone Hit my edge of my door with a Big Hammer! |
Ouch!! I gotta see pix!!
- Irish :cool: |
Just imagine... there's a City Bus forum... and some driver is telling this story on the board... bus drivers around the world are laughing their asses off! I wonder if they keep score: Drive away from a "player" as he's running for the bus = 1 pt.; splash a "player" on the sidewalk = 2 pt.; Smack an open door on a "player's" sweet car while parked in the zone = 10 pts.
Sorry man, I really do feel for you... but ya just gotta appreciate the driver's point of view on this one. |

I didn't want this to be my first post, ( haven't got my 8 yet ..soon! )..but I've been a city bus driver for 8 years.
You're right .....I'm laughing. It's always the car driver's fault and he always gets the ticket. You're responsible for your door. :p |
Wow! Rocinante - what are the odds? So, did I get the scoring right? Welcome to the board!
|
Vancouver police?
Rocinante, looks like Granville Street? Wow, I would have paid to see that one:p
|
Yeah - the scoring is about right .. 100 pts for a cop car door !
I wonder if he wrote himself a ticket ...... |
Seems like you care for your 8. One question: if you care about the car, then why would you double park it?
Rocinante: Funny pic |
If people are willing to donate some money to me to lift the curse I would be willing to reconsider... http://home.comcast.net/~store0001/emoticon/Demon.gif

Got a quote today .. It did Not help the situation when the rep that sold me the car spent an hour telling me how bad I must feel :mad:
Bottom Line $875.00 for parts and Labour and that was after I did some heavy negotiations! could have been a lost worse! But then again could have been a lot Better :D I will post pics soon... ExtensiveRX8 |
