Legacy Destroyed!!!
 

Christmas is a week away... I'm driving down the freeway home from work in my 1996 Subaru Legacy LSi. While the exterior might have minor imperfections, the interior was immaculate. Then, some ***** crosses two solid white lines, an empty lane, to directly in front of me, who is doing 55mph, doing a mere 20mph. I slam on my brakes to avoid a collision, in the process upsetting everything in the back, where I stored my Christmas presents I had bought, including a 6 volt farm/truck battery I bought for my father for his 1949 Chevy Pick-up. The battery spilled acid all over, ate clear through my carpet and virtually everything else in the trunk.

At the time, I did not flag her down to check the damage, which I should have done. Instead, I was furious, that I got in the other lane, which was clear of cars, and sped ahead. I knew the battery was back there, and that it probably flipped, but hoped that it was sealed to the point that it wouldn't leak from being flipped around. I arrived home 10 minutes later, checked, and sure enough, everywhere. Now I'm 10 times more furious than I was when it happened. I thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, having some shred of faith in humanity left, but now I realized that I should not have done so. I'm done with people being inconsiderate, I'm done giving people "one more chance". From now on, someone does something like this, or any other form of ill will towards me, I will take appropriate measures. By that, I don't mean taking a tire iron to her window, but flagging her down and calling the police.

On a related note, if anyone has a grey carpet out of a 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy wagon in very good condition they want to sell, please let me know. Subaru can get the carpet, but it's $359, and that's just not happening.

I cannot exclaim how infuriated I am right now, that people would be so inconsiderate. It baffles my mind. This ***** had no thought in her head other than of herself. There are many things I'd like to say I'd do, but better judgment kicks in and prevents me from doing so.

If anyone sees a 50ish woman driving a gold acura sedan, that looks very well off type, the type that if you were to see, you'd be like "man, she seems like a *****", driving around, be sure to give her the finger for me.

Since I have a very poor ability to portray emotions of any sort, and i know that this post doesn't accurate portray how angry I am, I'm just going on the record stating the fact that I haven't been this angry in ages. I'm a man of principal. Weather it's $5 or $5000, it's the principal of the fact that this woman was so much of an inconsiderate person with no regards for other humans. I pride myself in my consideration I portray towards others. To see others with none, it burns me up.

To further illistrate my point, I have drawn a graphical representation of the event. Please see below:

As you can clearly see, she crossed directly into my path, there was no swerving that could be done. Why I let her go is completely beyond me. It will, however, never happen again. Even if a battery does not spill all over the back of my legacy.

On my way home from VA beach this past weekend we almost creamed some retard in a honda because he did the same thing. He did the same exact thing except that we couldn't jump into another lane and we were in a box truck filled with stuff and towing a heavy RV trailer. After laying on the horn for a good while he looked in the mirrior like "what? what did I do?"

I could not even tell you how many times this has happened to me. One of those times almost involving a nasty (and a possibly fatal) accident. People DO NOT think when they drive. I hope you get your legacy looking beautiful again.

That sucks. :(
This happens to me a lot. The drivers are horrible around here. And really dont care.
I actually had less near accidents in NY, than I have in Ohio.:eek:

I should be getting to Harry's sometime soon, I'll see what I can find.

If I can't find a "Perfect one", do you want a "good one".

Sorry to hear that man, really SUX :(

And Glad you got her name right on the map you draw! :barf:

I had a woman in a blue audi 4 with MUNICH as her custom tag run me clear off the highway in my SVX. I was just talking about this today! I caught up to her are blared the horn, she wouldn't acknowledge me AT ALL!!!

I really should have called the staties on her, but let it slide... really regretted it when I discovered the cracked rim a few days later.

Well, I am glad you didn't get into a wreck at least.

If it were me I would have pulled her over and given her a lecture. I've never seen this particular maneuver, though.

Across 2 solid white lines! through a clear lane! Into my lane! It infuriates me!

Like I said, i'm no longer paying for other people's mistakes that did an injustice to me. It's absurd. People aren't going to learn until it hits them in the only place they seem to have any feeling, their wallet.

God I had this happen to me but I realized what the retard in the Civic was doing I laid on the horn, and he turned and saw and veered back in his lane, of course he was talking on a cell phone, looking at me like I was stupid :mad:. I passed him very fast with a finger for him. I gave him that gesture because of the way he turned and looked at me with that Look "WHAT??!?!?! You are the one messing up! F-U".

That blows dude, ur wagon is in INCREDIBLE condition, and now it's fubared(well the carpet at least) because of some dumba$s.

Fubared, BiNDY
But Not Dead Yet!;)

o0o a new one:p

Sometimes I debate whether I would prefer to have hit the idiot. I've been in a couple spots where someone has pulled out in front of me and I know that if I'd been driving the Taurus I'd have plowed into the side of them, or gone nose first into a ditch/tree/rail. I've thought back and said "Well, if I'd slammed into them, and not been greiviously injured, and written off both cars, maybe they would learn something and feel some effect, other than hearing the strange honking noise from behind them."

God I hate morons on the roads.

You are not the only one. A while back I had a idiot pull out in front of me going to make a left hand turn, stopped in my lane, I was going 60-65 , I had to slam on my brakes so hard. And they gave me the look like , "You are in the wrong wth are you looking at me for".
