Z totalled in 7 weeks.
Make a long story short. My a$$hole neighbor asks me to give him a lift to the dealership because he had claimed to purchase a new truck. I had just made it back from taking my wife to the market to pick up a few food items. So being a good neighbor I tell him ok. My wife exits the car. As she exits, he tells my wife... yeah I get to ride in the Z. Ok. So he gets in, I drive out of the community. Hit the stop sign. Look both ways before crossing the intersection...
Just so you can get a descent pic. Of the situation. On that corner on my right there's a firehouse. The block is on top of a hill, there's 4 ways of traffic but only 2 stop signs. The right side of the hill leaving the community has about 200ft of road before it makes a sharp dip and you can't see traffic. The left side is more forgiving. You have around 600ft before the dip. There is a 35mph speed limit on this road due to these hills. Otherwise normal speed limits in the area are 40 and 45mph.
Back at the stop sign I look both ways. I'm clear. I begin to take off kinda slow when a ford F150 came barreling from my right side at speeds over 60mph in a 35mph zone. He clipped the front. The car went spinning out of control but I was able to control it from flipping over, My Z is totalled, me and my neighbor walked out ok. I have a corneal abrasion from the airbag and my arms are a little bruised. His arms got a little bruised. Well it turns out he didn't have a truck to pick up. He now claims he was just going to see if he can qualify for a certain payment amount. So this means. He could've taken his own car since he didn't even know if he would qualify...
And now I'm having an even harder time believing that cuz. Once we were done with the accident. He went to work. That was at 9pm. So u ask me to take you to a dealership at 7:30pm that's 20 min away from the house to negotiate on a loan payment on any truck and you expect to get this done between 8 and 9pm. His credit sux and he's trying to get a payment worked out in 30 minutes.
All along he told me he needed to pick up a truck he bought. That was a lie. Now he's looking for compensation for the accident through my insurance even though he's walking around here perfectly happy and healthy. N I'm out of my Z. A car is a car but this is the worst way to lose one. If he didn't ask me for that favor, I wwould be enjoying my car instead of spending my Saturday in the ER due to my eye worsening.
I have video proof the guy was speeding. But that intersection my car was totalled at is a hot spot. People have gotten done by speeders there plenty of times since I moved here.
