Default So here i am standing at the red light...

... when suddenly BAMM. Apparently hitting cars at red lights is the new thing, right after mine i saw another one get hit the exact same way not even 2 miles away. This douche didn't have a license, was driving his "girlfriend's" car, and couldn't come up with the insurance paperwork since it was "somewhere" in the car. I swear, I cant hate New York any more than what I do right now. Got an appointment at the Local Lexus dealership, to drop off the car on Monday, I'm gonna miss her for a few days.



*edit*
Cops took really good care of me, I've gotta give them that much. Other guy got arrested for driving without a license.

The officer gave me the slip to pick up the police report next week, my insurance said they would cover it (since I have full coverage) if worse came to, but to file a claim with the other party's insurance first. The info will be on the police report, if the car he was driving was insured. still makes me a little every time i walk outside and see the damage.

Wow glad you are ok and able to walk away from the accident.

I get irritated when I hear people driving without a license or insurance. So irresponsible.

Hope insurance takes care if you.

Thanks for the good wishes guys, got a lil choked up looking at the damage last night. its not a big deal really since it is fixable, (and it will be!) but it fxcking sucks that you cant have anything nice in this city without some irresponsible dumbass screwing you. First it was the stolen mirror inserts, then not even a month later this s hi t

I hear that, i was having this same conversation with a buddy of mine last night while were on the toll lane of the tri-boro. Stand still traffic and we were counting all of the ******** drivers who didnt feel like making the line try and cut everyone off. Simply because they felt entitled to cut the line (peeves the fxck outta me). Counted at the very least 15-20 "drivers", came to the same conclusion, people in this city just don't give two *****s about the other person. it truly disgusts me.
