Woah, another Iowa Z? You ever make your way down to Des Moines?

Saw someone run a stop sign recently. She ran it straight into my Z.

That sux, hope everyone was ok? Sorry about your Z.

Both myself and my Z will survive. Sadly, around here (and apparently everywhere from the sound of this thread) people seem to have this mentality of "meh, I have insurance" and fail to realize that they are piloting tons of metal at breakneck speeds. Seems most people don't care and/or realize the responsibility you hold driving a vehicle.

It's a bit unnerving, but it seems to me that the faster and more capable your average car gets, the more people take for granted. I hope, within our lifetime, automation gets to the point where the 90% of those who have no regard for others can be Driven, while the rest of us are allowed to Drive.

Glad things were ok... But yeah that sucks for sure... It sucks how careful some of us are and sometimes it doesn't matter cuz other people just don't care at all. Id be soooooo bummmmmmmeddddd

Kind of unrelated to the red light but I had an issue recently in regards to people not caring. You know those rent-to-own companies that sell furniture, electronics, etc.? Yeah, I was going 55 down a 50mph rural country road(yes we have roads in Maine lol), and this box truck made for hauling couches and such was 3 car lengths to my back end, and moving closer. To create distance I dropped to 3rd and pulled away to 70mph briefly to create distance. The SOB got right back up there and even closer. At the next light I had an exchange of words that follow like this:

Me: Are f%$#&@g crazy?

Driver: I gave you 3 car lengths!

Me: Your truck weighs three times as much as me, I can stop three times quicker. Back the "eff" off

Driver: Well, you were going 70!

Me: Your place of business will receive a call from me in just a few minutes! (finger up to gesture he's #1)

I drove off purposely out of my way to get away from him! Question that cannot be answered, how do you reason with ignorant stupid? You just can't and hope for the best.

Glad you and your Z will survive.

NISMO IX, that's on the opposite side, but same field, as when we have the pleasure of watching a driver rush to pass the car in front of him/her, but fail to look, cut off an 18-wheeler who was minding his own business in the middle lane, then slam on their brakes because, as a cursory glance would have shown, there are also cars in THAT lane. Said driver, who accelerated 20-30mph over their previous speed, now overcorrects their stopping and slams on brakes. Now we have a fully-loaded truck slamming brakes to avoid the idiot in front of him, who seems completely oblivious to what has happened.

To the General Public: just because the car behind you is considered at-fault, that doesn't give you the right to risk his/her life, as well as the lives of those of us around you, because you need your pumpkin spice mocha latte right now instead of in 1 more minute.

Indeed, sorry to hear about that but glad you and yours are okay. :tup:

On top of the fact when you ride someone's @ss.... You are distracting and endangering that driver!!! What I guess I am saying is part of your responsibility as a driver is to periodically check your mirrors but when you ride the @ss of that driver in front of you, you are now taking more focus off of what is going on in front of him or her.

You should never engage in a mind battle of the ignorant and stupid people just because they will wear you down with their ignorance and stupidity to the point where you lose due to their experience with being ignorant and stupid. Its best to just drive away haha, either that or sit there with your window up laughing at them lol :stirthepot:

yah, ive seen this happen a few times too. im not sure how they CAN'T see the light, their brain is somewhere else.

But WAIT!!!! They gotta take a selfie.

^^ Plus have the song playing in the background

Omg! Wtf? I'd slap her selfiestick out the window!

Think I would buried that selfie stick up her asss as far as it will go if I was in the car with her. Then again, I wouldn't have to be in the car to do it.
