This is why I can't have nice things.
Story: 70 year old lady tries to make a left turn from the right hand lane of a 2 lane roundabout. Hottest day of the year so far after yesterday, had to wait for the cop for 4 hours in relatively blistering heat. Welp, I guess now I get a new bumper and fender. Yesterday I spent 2.5 hours hand washing the car. :/ The alternator and some wires got wet. Some of my idiot lights came on and won't go off. I think the fans are not working because my temp gauge was getting pretty high at the long red lights.

Re: This is why I can't have nice things.
Sorry dude, I hope you had a lot of stone chips. Good luck with the paint match. In a pinch a baseball bat should be used to roll a fender lip. SVX blinkers don't cut the mustard!

The whole front of the car is pretty much covered in scars.

Is that your turn signal, stuck in her fender?

Yep...
I let her keep it as a noisy, jagged reminder of her error.

Re: This is why I can't have nice things.
How hot is blistering heat up there? Accuweather says it'll reach 60... maybe that's blistering to you folk!
Sorry to see that happen. I don't know why some people think they can make illegal turns and be ok. My camaro got totalled when I t-boned a lady that made a left hand turn at a stop light that had SEVERAL no left turn signs |
