    Angry Jerk side-swiped my BMW

    I can't believe it. The car was in great shape, specially for a 1986.

    I went to bed last night about 12:30AM and saw this when I was leaving the house this morning...














    And before...





    You can see how nice it is inside, only has 82k miles.




    Figures, I parked on the street last night when I got home from the shop to make it easier to take the Excursion out this morning. You can see the burnout, my guess is someone came through here drunk and was driving like an idiot. The road ends right after my house into a cult-de-sac, so it's not even a through street. Checked all the neighbor's cars and don't see any damage.

    I hate people like that. I wouldn't have even called the cops if they were drunk, just exchanged insurance info - the fucking jerks.

    If that were true, I wouldn't tell anybody.

    I found him!!!





    The black line on the fender is the same exact height as my mirror, and that's grey paint on the bumper, same height as the damage.

    I should be a cop :rofl:

    He's my old neighbor's kid, and was visiting the punk across the street. I said I turned in a video to the cops and a van just like that hit my car. He admitted he was wasted last night (19yrs old mind you) and doesn't remember. So I told him he's luck the tag number didn't show up in the video or he might have already been arrested.

    I then told him he has to repair it or I was going to the police and his partents. Then gave him a ration of shit for driving drunk. He was extremely aplogetic, specially since the teenagers around here are scared of me lol.

    Never leave your toys out on the street. From a legal standpoint it is highly unlikely he could be prosecuted for much more than leaving the scene of an accident that long afterwards since the proof of drunkeness would be gone.

    You're to cool for me with that kind of willful recklessness. It might have been better to have at least turned him in to his parents if he still lives with them. Better to have them punish him than the law. He could have killed someone, can't understand why that doesn't deter people from taking the chance given how often that happens, oh wait, for some reason the law doesn't seem to think killing someone while driving drunk is a serious enough crime to have to pay for with spending much, or all of the rest of your life in prison in return.

    You are probably familiar with how well the Bargain Trader owners wife is doing with her court case after her hit and run drunk driving incident killed a man.

    This guy was so drunk he really didn't know he hit someone despite the severity of the impact, as could be seen in another clip when cops questioned him after running him down. He could hardly talk he was so drunk.

    Wow!

    That video is like 10 minutes from me! I just hope the kid doesn't do it again....sometimes it takes a while for people to actually change their behavior. ie-jail time.
