Look what they did to my baby :'( ….
Sadly I have become another victim of the imbecile Florida drivers, ironically once again I got hit by someone when I am under 40 miles per hour, which is ironic and somehow pathetic.
Saturday morning, woke up happy, wash my car, I say hi to neighbors, babies, grandmas, nice day, I wash my car nice, dry it carefully, looks shinny and good, I decide to drive around the block to dry the tires -as I always do-
I come out on 30th street into the main street to turn right on 29th .. roughly 100 meters, 50 meters down the light turns green, I am going roughy 40mph with my blinkers on to turn right and I see them flying on my direction, I look at my blinkers and I assume they can see, I see a corolla coming hot, he panics, locks the brakes, BANG, I spun -I was already turning right- luckily I missed a pole by a meter!
My rear is in bad shape, amazingly all the plastics exploded and my exhaust and pipes eat all the impact, my right 1/4 panel has a small bump almost invincible and fixable, his car, whoa, can't say the same, I was a bit shaken … a bit frustrated and a bit sad, but glad I got NOTHING out of place, just my belly pretty much bounced bad -lol-.
He gets ticket, but he was a ROID type of person, so he was acting and sounding a bit like a person with special needs trying to be friendly and smart-ass .. not even an apology, not even a sorrow on his face, quite the opposite, he was kinda excited, bragging his "insurance is taken care of it" .. taking pics .. been a jerk …
Almost 3 weeks and I am still waiting on resolution, yes, he got a ticket, is his foul and his insurance already came, people came, took an assessment, they are taking care of it etc etc ….. I can't help anymore and I dropped my NSX @ my body shop on Monday -since I want to drive to the dragon next week-.. ordered parts etc etc, my car is been taken care, thankfully the damage was 99% cosmetic .. I love this car, I LOVE IT I want it back!!
I just hope the value now doesn't get killed since is going to be on my report, not that I want to sell, not at all, but oh well, I guess I was at the wrong moment @ the wrong place, but again, is nothing if you think about it.
-Now a lesson learned for me, since I washed my car and I was going to drive around the block, I had no tshirt, no wallet, no shoes, just my shorts, thankfully my neighbors came in their golf carts (I live on a golf course community- So I had to borrow some grandpa golf cart and fly to my home -a block down- and get all my stuff, they gang' up pretty good around our cars so the guys couldn't walk away -lol- … .. also, I didn't have my seat belt on, -I NEVER DRIVE WITHOUT IT- but since it was around the block, I got lazy … so yeah, please, are you going to drive around the block?? STILL WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS, because there's ALWAYS AN IMBECILE that will pop in form nowhere and hit you.
Next week, pictures if my car fixed, I am going again all OEM on the back, with a new exhaust
