well this old old lady comes from across the other side turning off a side street cutting off the other direction of traffic before cutting me off and slamming on her breaks!!
i had enough time to look to my side see a toyota ridding even with me and lock up my brakes slide swearve left almost clip her old lady car bumper and then jump the medien into on coming traffic and swerve back into my original lane of traffic just to see the old lady cut off 3 lanes of traffic and slam over a curb and parking block into the albersons parking lot

For driving like that I really hope she wrecked the front end of her car hopping that curb.

Hell I cant see any coupe/sedan taking that kind of hit with no damage to the suspension!

i have been in plenty of accidents for being 19 years old

iv learned to stay as much on yours toes as possible while driving and i knew that it was either rearending a car side swipping a truck or blowing a curb! and my 33's had no trouble with the curb

Man i hear you, some blind woman in her big suburban didnt see me coming the opposite way of her, while she turned right in front of me. She didnt see me till she blocked the entire lane of mine, luckily i had enough time to react by jumping a curb, narrowly miss a streetlight post, a stop sign, and lots of trees. Shocker was, after i had stopped, she was still stopped in the middle of the street blocking traffic. so i gave her the age old finger, dug some ruts in the dirt/grass and took off jumping the curb (down the curb) again to go and get some fuel haha have to love jeeps

Sounds like some exciting driving. My story is much more boring, but I am older. I was in a parking lot and a guy in a Cadillac backed into my bumper - his taillight disintegrated. I got out and looked at the scratch on my bumper, shrugged, and drove away.

thats what happened to me at a drive thru! this big mini van style delivery van i guess decicded he was going anyways or just thought he had room to fit tried to squezz behind me all i felt was my jeep rocking and heard some crunching i got out and saw my cracked taillight and my cb antenna a little crooked

his van had a bare metal deep scratch from front fender to rear tail light and the middle door looked like it was hit with a sludge hammer!!

i got 1500 bucks off that company for that and i bought a 20 dollar tail light from the jy and i used some vice grips to straighten my antenna
