umm yeah bro...Hence ATILLA - my car haz ***** AND WUT!?

It's obviously not my name

Story: I used to always park on the top floor of my parking garage but one day while coming down the aisles some ******* in a bmw rockets outta his parking spot backwards and completely wrecks my entire passenger side from front bumper all the way to the rear panel. **** was intense. He made intial contact then suffered from retardation and kept going - when i stopped i got outta the car and saw him still in his car poised to take off...then sure enough he started TO PULL AWAY!?

things got a lil' hectic afterwards but it calmed down....

then the cop showed up...

...then things got more outta hand when the guy tried to blame me!??

i almost lost it...

but thankfully the cop stepped in and brought some reason...heh. He basically said "are you seriously gonna try and blame him for that?"

No worries my man, everyone knows how we are This is the first time one of us is posting a serious thread. I hope for it to go on so people aren't disheartened to post pix and tell their stories.

Mine wasn't totaled but I was out of an 8 for a month and a half. No pics, though so my story will have to suffice.

I was leaving school, at around 830 pm. Double left turn, it was red as I approached but turned green while I was still moving, at the time I was in the right lane when it switched I changed to the left cause there was an Escort in the right lane stopped. As I start to make the turn I'm dead even with the Escort, we turn onto the street and she just kept turning, never straightened out and smashed the whole passenger side of the 8. She gets out and is crying, cops show up and say it's my fault and I smell like weed. I hadn't smoked in two days and haven't ever smoked anything in my car ever. So I got taken to jail, car impounded and a huge fine. Insurance company said the cops were wrong to say it was my fault and reversed their decision. And I got paid and fixed my car up. Still had to deal with the weed ticket but I still got my 8.
