So, I found the blind spot!!

jrniehaus · 09-04-2010, 03:42 PM

Well, I somehow managed to back into a friggin dumpster the other day. It had two metal things sticking out. I swear I didn't see it in the driverside
rear area as I poked a huge hole in the left side of the bumper. Really
sucks, so now I gotta get a new rear bumper!!! WTF!

No just punch a matching hole in the right side and insert some mesh. Now you have custome vents!

Yah, this is why I got a rearview camera.

Hope you can plug it up without a new bumper.

Holy Cow......... I know how you feel. I had my car two weeks and the remote start went crazy, caused my car to drive itself over curbs, bushes and more curbs. It's a terrible feeling. I'm up to $4200 so far. Get your car fixed though......... and forget it happened. I almost ran over a blind man. I was turning left and that is where my blind spot is. At the last second.......I saw his stick, whew is all I can say.

Not to be a **** but did you start your car in Gear??? I dont see how the car would move it self without it being in gear?? You got a 40th right?? Thats only a 6spd.

As for the guy with the hole, sounds like you got a perfect place to mount a big wing for Time Attack lol... Nah sorry man.

just don't even start this here there is a whole thread of us flamming him for starting his car in gear and the cold idle at 1700 making it take off. search for that.

Hootie man i'm on ur side here just realize that bringing that up in a thread for w/e reason is gonna be bad

If you adjust your mirrors right there isn't much of a blind spot. It's just that most people dot have their mirrors set up right. You shouldn't be able to see thr same object in your interior rearview mirror at the same time as your side view mirrors .

Jeffblue the mirror man

Ztoon · 09-04-2010, 11:48 PM

Wow, a lot of preaching and advice giving going on!
I sympathize with you 100%.
Tell ya what man, could happen to anybody and usually does at some point.
Hope the repairs are painless and quick for you, as it really sucks coming out each morning seeing her scarred.

Hey Man,
I know how to drive a manual........have since I was 15. The car had a faulty remote start. An engineer came to inspect it and it started 3 times on its own. I never pushed the button. Glad noone was killed. And yeah, they ragged me on another thread about this. Just a weird kinda thing, ya know?

Did you name the car Christine?
