Just Venting

Jack370Z · 04-27-2012, 05:47 PM

Since this is a "Just Venting" thread...let me take a moment and do a little of that. Last Saturday evening I'm headed out to dinner stopped at a traffic light (about 3rd in line fully stopped) and I look up and WTH it's a black 350 goin at least 25 mph about 10 feet behind closing fast then the BOOM. Yup, the 19 yr old female driver never touched the brakes...said she didn't see me (all three lanes are stopped at the light). I made sure my passenger wasn't hurt and got out pissed the girl was still finishing her text. I asked if she was texting and she didn't answer. She then got out and walked up to my Z and said "oh look, it only scratched your car" and went back to her Z. I said "you won't believe how much damage there will be behind the bumper cover...probably $3000". No response. Her uncle stopped and said "wow, not bad. The last wreck she had they had to replace the front wheels" (told her to shut her down...the radiator was leaking all over). Well, got the estimate today...$3200+. She even got the frame rails on both sides. I can't believe the disregard today. She could care less...I'm sure she was thinking daddy will take care of it.

OK, I'm done venting...thanks for your time.

People these days take everything for granted. Talking on the phone while driving is bad, but at least your eyes are theoretically still up and on the road. Texting or emailing while driving is ridiculously dangerous ad irresponsible. Everyone's too self absorbed now and take for granted the fact that they are in a moving 1.5-2 ton piece of machinery that can easily cause serious damage or harm.

Yeah those young teenage girl drivers are ridiculous.. especially the ones with daddy's money. A group of them in an Acura RSX ran a red light and got hit by an ambulance of all things.. and spun out and crashed into my buddy's car. The skanks were acting IMPATIENT while waiting for the tow trucks and police to come. They were actually like, "Well if we hurry this up we can at least still make it to the club."

You should claim whiplash and take some extra bucks for your trouble, and get some new rims or something

Get her insurance to skyrocket so high no one will take her. One less douche on the road.

Oh man, I would have snapped if that happened to me and they had attitudes.

lol I dont do it all the time, only when they are about to kill me, plus it teaches them a lesson, because after that they are driving very safe. plus if they hit me its their fault, my bumper automatically is their fault.

America is road rage, it should have a sign when you come to the country...AMERICA HOME OF ROAD RAGE.

The problem is that with airbags, traction control, etc.; we've effective eliminated Darwinism. As cold-hearted as it might sound, I think if there were more traffic fatalities and serious injuries then people might respect driving a lot more.

I really wish people in general would realize that road rage would go down significantly if the driving skill of most drivers went up. A prime example are the idiots doing 5 under in the fast lane on the highway. This just provokes the road rage response.

While I had the Z the worst offenders for trying to bait me into a run or tailgate me were Infiniti G's followed by GTi's. Now with the new car its much worse.

Amj2020 · 05-02-2012, 11:47 AM

Well here we go again...was driving home from the gym yesterday and this early 90's BMW 3 series zooms up from behind and paces itself with my car. This at one time was a glossy yellow but now has turned dull matte and ugly. Some lame body kit and a loud single exhaust and the guy is just flat staring into my car. He isnt even watching the road, just staring into the car. I glance over and laugh and then continue listening to the radio. I slowed down a little so I could get away from this tool. Then he starts to slow down hard, then take off as quick as his car can go, leaving a cloud of **** behind his beater. He does this about 5 times I Guess wanting me to give it some gas too. This guy practically followed me home trying to get me to race I suppose. Haters gonna hate.

Perhaps he was late for his MENSA meeting.

They may not want to tail gate the Z/28...In the past i have done a 4000RPM clutch dump..

I can rip up the roadway with ease.....I will pepper the guy with hundreds of pieces of Tar..

The last guy had to use his high beams in the daylight to get through the smoke..

he followed me and told me i was going to paint his car..i told him i just did..

I hope all texters while driving crash in walls and harm no one but their cars.

People like this should lose their license and be forced to pay for cabs.
