Note to stupid driver - please check before changing lanes!

sstevens7 · 10-17-2011, 01:14 PM

Just got off the phone with USAA.

They certify Procare Collision for me to take the Z into for inspection/repairs.

RavSpec - Mark - can I get that receipt for the Volk GT-S whel so that Procare can put that cost in with their total cost estimate?

Thanks all for the kind words!

I think its time to start a new thread.

THE OFFICIAL. "STUPID TEXAN AUTO ACCIDENTS" THREAD.

What do you guys think??? I think every car forum should have one.

More like stupid truck drivers. How often do you see these tanks driving down the road or poorly parked in shopping malls with nothing more than some little lady or otherwise single individual piloting this monstrosity! If you cant drive the car, or even have a use for that much space, please save us all the annoyance of watching you try.

Home of the WORLDS F***IN, MOST D***EST-S*****EST, ID***IC, drivers in the nation. If you are a car in TEXAS. Stay away from driving next to any SUV driver. If you don't live in tx. be careful driving in to tx major cities. New Yorkers are rude drivers. But here you get rude with the added bonus of all above mentioned.
Top 5 things to know about driving in texas.

5. The passing lane is on the right. The slow lane is on the left.
4.there are only two speeds texans drive on the highway. 40 in a 70 or 105 in a 50.
3. There's no such thing as turn signals in tx. Maybe its too difficult for simple minds to use????
2. Tailgating is the Statewide pastime.
1. SUV'S AND PICKUP drivers do whatever they please without an inkling of courtesy.

And if you notice? Every texas SUV driver is in the same dumb seating position and for some reason they are forever holding a phone??? Its so stupid how everyone has a smart phone here. Everybody wants the car of the year that's fully loaded with bluetooth. But no one uses there hands free. WTFF???.
Every couple of months you here on the news that someone was murdered while driving. They just drive up next to a driver and open fire. I'm pretty sure my top 5 is the reason why.

PS. WHO THE f*** HITS A RED SPORTS CAR??????????????????? She really didn't see you???

ONLY IN TX. I hope she comes on the forum.

couldnt have said it any better, except for adding that the on-ramps to 610 have a scanning machine that sucks every logical, rational, thought out of your head.

I am aware of that. I just am really new to this area and from looking at their web-site and from hearing what USAA had to say about them I figure I'll check them out.

All There work is warranted as well. However I am going to request a walk around their facilities to see how they operate and if I don't like something I'll have no shame pulling out of there and finding a new place.

Texas has a lot of moronic car drivers too. Its just that Texas truck drivers are sooo bad that you forget about how bad the car drivers are. The slanted parking thing drives me up a wall. And why is it everyone in texas is friggin handicapped? Go to the mall, you'll see a monster truck with a handicap sticker. Come on really??? I went to the casino's in oklahoma. The casino had 50 handicap spots. I kid you not!!! Every single car was from texas while the Okies were parked in regular spots.

How bad is it when a quad in a van is using his last bit of independence to get himself to a store while some overweight moron is too lazy to walk so he asks for a handicap sticker due to knee pain. So now the quad has to park in the back??? Wow... Here's an idea. Lose the weight to relieve some pressure walk to get some exercise and let "the real handicapped guy" have the parking???

ONLY IN TX.

IMHO, while a lot of dealerships are bad, so are a whole lot of random collision places. Given no prior knowledge of a "good" place to get the repair done (maybe the TX forum can help?), I'd default to using a Nissan dealership. Either way the insurance is covering the cost, and they're likely to be more familiar with the car and use factory parts/paint/etc.

Hell even the real Lambo drivers drive like Shrimp Fried @$$ on the xpressway. and it always get worse, as you come up to pass us cellular field. like seriously. Im paying you guys way too much money to drive on these roads where the sign says40-60 and the flow of traffic, not even the speeders, is 85-95.

but i will say this, driving the expressway does get your blood flowin. kinda like lake shore drive right after sunset.
