Sunday Evening in Suburban Maryland (just outside of DC).
So, it's a beautiful evening and I persuaded my 34 week pregnant wife to let us take the NSX to dinner. We're cruising along down Montrose Road and I notice that there's a young guy coming the other direction who is staring at the NSX.
About 2 seconds after we pass him, we hear this BOOM! The rest of this story is conjecture, however, Res Ipsa Loquitor (the thing speaks for itself)... I assume that Mr. Young Gun was so busy staring at either my shiny car or my shiny shaved head (darn, I knew I should have closed the darkly tinted windows to prevent that) that he failed to pay attention to what he was doing and learned several physics lessons (the hard and expensive way). Fortunately, the wreck was low speed and appeared not to have caused that much in the way of damage (however, the boom was the airbag deploying - oddly it was louder than the sound of the crunching metal).
Nevertheless, we immediately called the police and fire/rescue just in case.
Made for an interesting drive to dinner. Fortunately, the balance of our evening was far less exciting!
Has your car caused a wreck? Ever wrecked because you were looking at another car?
