Stupid (*&$*# drivers -- Now with pics

[James Crivellone]

Was going about 30mph on a one way street. a blue ford escort or tempo turned really fucking wide going the wrong way, I had to swerve hard to miss him, and nailed the curb.



Victim = One Alpina Kopi Rim, scratched to shit and back, at least it was not the left fender that he missed hitting by 2 inches or so. and of course the asshole kept on going.



(*#&R*&#(*&#$ I am happy I didn't get the real alpina's, I would have hunted him down and killed the bastard...

ok vent complete, I will take pics when I get home from work..

that really sucks, you just got those on too. I hate people

[gsbadbmr]

That sucks man, maybe you should keep it in your trunk as a full size "spare" when you get your new one...........if you decide to get a new one.

I already emailed mike @ abraham, I will prolly make it a spare, however I can't afford another AVS100 at the moment to fit on the spare

Were you able to get a license plate #?

didn't have a front plate, (or one that I could see) but the time I turned my head around he was gone, prolly ducked down a street or something. I drove around looking for about 30 min, didn't see him

[nando]

heh, no front plate in washington = illegal

that really sucks, I'm guessing you don't have full coverage insurance either, so you're probably out $200 bucks (and even if you did, your deductable would probably be higher).

you might have been able to call the police though, and report him anyway. with a good description of his car and the fact that he has no front plate, they might at least nail him for speeding or give him a fix-it ticket..

Damn that really sucks James. :?

Well atleast your car is still in one peice.

James-

Sorry to hear about your incident. I hope you get everything resolved without too much headache.

This one goes out to the Escort driver....

OMFG i would be furious. i seriously would have hunted the guy down then crushed his face on that same curb.

That sucks but they are cheap in comparison to originals. 8) In Mass if you can avoid an accident and don't you are held 50% liable.

I have full coverage, however my deductable is higher then the cost of the wheel..

[James Crivellone]

now that I look at the damage again, its not as bad, however still enough to really piss me off.


I think its repairable, but I may just buy a new wheel and use this one as a spare. Any thoughts guys?
