Nissan 370Z-Dumb A$$ magnet

Trebor3 · 07-07-2011, 11:07 AM

Going out to dinner last night we needed to stop at Kinko's on the way. I pull into the mall parking lot as someone is backing out of their space. I stopped but they kept backing towards me. I honked they kept coming. I honked some more they kept coming. Just before they hit me I threw it in reverse but only made it a few feet because in my haste I stalled it. So I'm laying on the horn when they finally stopped backing and drove off. Wheww that was a close one.
Dumb A$$

After dinner we are heading home about 9 pm. We are on a busy four lane road (for those of you in Austin, Oltorf in front of Travis High), when we top a hill there is a car in the middle of the road attempting a three point turn around. I might has been able to stop but as they are in the backing phase I decided to jump to the outside lane and drive past them, surely they see me coming with head lights on. As I'm going past them they throw it in drive and ram us!
Dumb A$$

Drivers rear quarter dented, wheel and bumper scuffed. Other driver has no license, no insurance, isn't sure of her address and had an unrestrained child in the car. She thought she could drive because her baby's daddy has a license.

F**K!

Off to the body shop now. I've put 1400 miles on the car since I got it. When we bought my wife's Acura TL it lasted two weeks before somebody hit it while parked and them drove off. $5200. More stuff more problems, I'm learning.

I agree. I get the same thing all the time since I got this car. It seems like I am dodging other vehicles constantly even though I am going the speed limit and driving conservative. People just seem to drift towards me all the time on and off the state. Its crazy. This car is my daily driver and i love it that way, but I now see why some people only take their toys out on weekends. I wouldnt even bother buying a car over 60g. I would be to afraid of taking it any where ever. Its pretty damn sad.

wait..so I just bought a dog from a guy that my brothers girlfriends aunt referred me too. He is a full time pilot....does this mean I can't fly planes now?

GAH! so much for skipping aviation school.....

hansoac · 07-07-2011, 11:23 AM

in all reality though it is sad that there are people that stupid.

Ardent_Z · 07-07-2011, 11:27 AM

Wow that sucks! I drive a lot, so I see many, many dumb driver moves. I've learned that when anyone is performing a peculiar task with their automobile just give them space and shake your head.

Concerning the other driver... Welcome to America! Land of the free and home of the people who are too concerned with being politically correct to stop laying off people due to exceeding budgets in order to give these people free meals, healthcare and $20 - $30 an hour worth of other benefits thank to YOUR tax dollars.

ZCarMan · 07-07-2011, 11:45 AM

increased insurance rates for 370Zs coming our way.

edub370 · 07-07-2011, 12:13 PM

Who's the Dumb A$$?
If you would have waited, for her to finish her turn around, the accident would not have happened!

^ I agree too.... sorry OP.

TWYNBYZ · 07-07-2011, 01:59 PM

^ what the last several posters just said. Sorry

If I see indecision in another driver’s behavior, I just hang back and wait for them to do what the need to do. An extra 30 seconds of waiting wont hurt you but could hurt your car..........

I hope your car is repaired and back on the road quickly!
