Damn Ford F-150 4x4 cuts me off and SLAMS on his breaks and causes this! We were both traveling east on 316 (For those who live in Atl) and he decides to ride my bumper until he got a chance to past me. I’m already doing 15-20 over the speed limit but I guess that’s just not fast enough for him. The right lane clears up so he sees his chance to be an ass and passes me and cuts right in front of my car leaving no room between my front and his rear but that wasn’t enough. He than takes it upon himself to teach me a lesson for going so slow and literally slams on his breaks. I didn’t rear end him due to my excellent reaction time but the accident was unavoidable. As I swerved to the right into the next line and hit the breaks my back end began to fish tail until I was perpendicular to the truck. At that time my front slams into his front and he spins me out over the median and into oncoming traffic … after dogging an 18-wheeler and finally coming to a stop on the other side facing the wrong way. It’s a blessing that nobody was hurt considering all this happened going about 75mph. I’m extremely thankful my girlfriend (passenger) was ok after the ordeal. The cop ticketed him for unsafe lane change and now I get to wait and see what happens with the car. I hope his insurance is ready to pay out big for the damages.

Man that sucks. Fricking show offs.

There's just something about people who drive big trucks ... It's almost like they have something against people who drive cars or something

VXCL

damn. time for new car. if they do fix it sell it!!!! hope everything works out. after my little fender bender i ended up with real hid system, koni yellows, and got my car fixed.

PerFecto

If there is anyone who can give a ball park range on how much it may cost to fix this … assuming there’s no hidden damage. If more pictures are needed just let me know and I’ll bust out the camera.

Acura Sensei

perfecto,
i am so sorry to hear about your unfortunate incident.


you guys have to be careful out there. there are alot
of crazy assholes in trucks. hearing these kind of things
make me
reminds me of my close call with a dodge ram last year.
the bastard tried running me off the road... when i dodged him... a car nearly side swiped me.
i was very fortunate to have avoided that accident.

this is very hard to do... but in those instances... we have to try to keep a cool head.
i know when i have a passenger... especially my fiance... i do not bullshit with others

it's a different story when i'm alone.

no, really... just let those crazy mothafukas pass on by....
it's not worth it.

i hope you get the car fixed... or better yet... sell it asap.
it's time for a new car!


good luck.

All man just a couple of month ago same shit happen to me. I speed up to the let the asshole get out of traffic and he cut me off real close. So i got out the lane push it and flip him off...got into the right lane and drove normally. Before you know he was riding next to me trying to run me over, it was like maybe 1/2 a foot away from hitting me. So i punch it to get in front of him. I grabbed a bunch of pennies handed to my gf and she stuck her head out like in fast and furious and threw all that pennies at his windshield and gunned.....HAHAHA

ding069

lol, damn man, i am gonna keep some spare pennies in my car now! No that accident really sucks man, some people just feel it is their right to bust balls, and the bad thing is if you hit his rear and had no witness, it is your fault! Maybe it will go your way seeing as he got a violation for lane changing, let us know how everything goes. Most importantly, its good to see that no one was hurt.

moforose3.0

man, that is some shit- sorry to hear about your car.

Pennies are the best the throw at people on the freeway. If you have any spare change, change them into silver dollars. They work even better. You just have to aim right. Heheheh...

melo72

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear about the accident. Your intake pipe looks crushed! Was there any damage to his car? Good thing he got ticketed. It would have been worse if he would have kept going...

Acura Sensei

hey 97Acura3.0CL, jimmy, and ding069,
i hope you guys are kidding.

because i don't think anyone is laughing at your
idea of throwing change. for one, you are asking
for an ass beating. two, you can cause an accident,
not only to yourself, but to the intended person.

it's happened to my old nissan before. let me tell you,
that is not something to joke around about.

if you guys want to be little assholes running around
throwing change at people's cars... you better be ready
to run. someone will chase you down and kill you one day.
and we'll be hearing about it on this forum the day after.

so i hope you guys are kidding. if not, don't come on here trying to show off by saying that you can be complete pricks.
you're not impressing anyone.

ding069

I think a few people out there are laughing....but i am joking around, only if the guys is really being a real prick would i even think about that. The stories like the ones above, i think maybe those people deserve the penny treatment
im just joking around, paintballs are better anyway!

CLTECH

a real rough estimate on the damage: $10K.....becuase that's gonna involve paint, new front tie bar, new headlight, etc etc etc....you're gonna have a real hard time trying to sell that car to a dealership too because they can always tell that the car has been into an accident. believe me, because i used to work for one. anyways, my suggestion? if you can, total the car and get his insurance to buy you a new one

PerFecto

the only problem with that is they NEVER give you the true value of the car

Acura Sensei

ok, so some people are probably laughing at that idea.
i didn't mean to be so pissed about it.... it's just that when
it happens to you, when you didn't provoke it... it really sucks.

spare change can do some major paint chip damage.

i agree... some people deserve it... and more,
but does that make it right?

dustbuster4

Sorry to hear about the accident!

I'm glad that you weren't hurt!

My guess is about $7-8K, purely based on the $5400 it cost to get my front end fixed with this kind of damage:

luvmyacura

I just had to reply after seeing these beauties maimed by those jackasses in BIG fords. I call them "small penis vehicles"

I am also sick of bit**** who drive SUVs braking last minute on my CL ass!!! I have thought about getting a sticker that simply says, " GET THE F*** BACK!!"

I hope you ream the guy who did this to your car, or I hope his insurance reams him.

Good luck and glad you both were okay!!

That sucks. Hope it all works out.

I ended up getting a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer as my rental ... I must say I like the handling of the car even though the pickup really sucks … at 120hp and 130 ft-lbs Torque it was able to take my girlfriends camry without a problem … I’m now considering the evo VII as my next car. I’m taking my car to the collision place tomorrow. I’ll post the costs tomorrow

A ticket?!?! He got a "ticket"
I'd have him brought up on attempted murder!

If that had happened to me, I'd be the one getting charged, not him. Because I'd have tire ironed the m@#h3rf@ck3r!

Jesus.
