So today I wake up wash my car polish my new rims and head to town .

Traffic was detoured due to a very slow train in the middle of town so me and about 10 other cars head down the road to a underpass . Here we are sitting in the turning lane waiting for the light . I look in my rearview a nice new forrest green Lexus . I look back at the car in front of me and then BANG BANG BANG, I look up and see the woman looking in her rearview and BAM a tow truck right in the rear...So about four cars knocked up sparing me. Scared the hell out of me, then I thought hmmm damnit that wouldve been as free bodykit...LoL

Some people just cant #$%^&*() drive.

Wow...freakishly enough, this just happened to me about 1 hour ago:

Sitting in traffic behind a long line of cars waiting for the light so I can go straight. There is a Honda Prelude behind me and a BMW X5 behind that. Just as the car in front of me starts to move forward (thank the lord)...I hear BANG and instinctively pull out (I was ready to move anyways because of the car in front of me)...Turns out a Range Rover hit the X5, HARD! She was on her cell and the whole front bumper, grill, both lights, and the hood were FUDGED!!!

To top it all off, she gets out of her car still talking to the person on the cell as I pullover to make sure everyone is okay. The X5 and Range Rover owners both acted like it was no biggie and that this happened every day. They were nuts! There was at least $10000 worth of damage between them. Some people just don't care...

That Turok dude never explained much of anything.. That was probably pretty smart, but frustrating to read..
