Celica Forums General Discussion General I swear to God...

Okay so today I took my 87 Blazer to school just as a change of pace. On my way home, there's this huge intersection with a ridiculously long light, where everyone from my school winds up. We were coming up to that, and my best friend was in front of me, not close at all, doing about 40, and the guy in front of him decides to slam on his brakes to make a turn. My friend slams on his brakes, and I slam on mine, but lucky lucky me, i've got a 3000lb truck, and I just cant stop fast. I rear-ended him, with my truck completely unscathed from the ordeal, and the only thing done to him was his bumper is now bent in on the left side.

The best part is, he just leans out his window and starts laughing. He said he didn't even care, and he kind of liked the look. (He drives a '96 F-150)


So yeah, I can't have good days. I've decided that.

the bright side, if there is one, is it was ur friend.. someone else might have wanted a zillion dollars from ya.. sorry man

^^^exactly.

though I'd offer at least something to make it up, that way there's no hard feelings about it.

your friend is cool

yea lucky it was a cool friend. something similar happened to my friend. rear ended his friend but good thing his friend had a beat up jeep. his lexus got dented dtho

shit happens

I know the feeling man, i was in my 93..JUST got my 18"focal f5's put on(chrome) and i come across the light following my friend to a merchants auto store to get my car inspected...well, someone decided to make a quick right turn into the gas station. I couldnt stop in time so i ran into the back of my friend. Broke my shogun kit in the front right in half, i dont even know how it stayed on. Only thing it did to my friend was it put a perfect square in his moms 88 honda accord. I was going like less than 15 mph when i hit him but since there wasnt a reinforcement bar there, the insurarce adjuster came out and was like, its totaled. Sux, but it was less than 800 to fix. so i still have my car.

now thats a friend...

I was driving my truck we where leavin a buddies house, had my music it up it was dark and my back glass is tinted in my truck, 5%, and i couldnt see shit but i just backed up and i hit him, put a scratch in my truck and a dent in his, he just kinda laughed about it told me to watch out and shit, but yea, cool friends understand shit...

...and cool friends don't wear those stupid neck braces after minor fender benders!!

at least it was your freind and not some asshole

^^exactly what i was thinking guys. the whole thing about being my friend. and yeah, i offered to pay for a new bumper. we're just going to go to some junkyard and pick one up.

things went pretty easily, surprisingly

yea...I was driving in my roll aone day and my ex was in the celi behind me...came up to a light...I braked...then BOOM! I was like wtf...I thought i stalled the rolla...so I kept goin a bit and saw him shakin his head behind me...he motioned to pull over...and I was like..wait a min...I got out and was like...did you hit me? He kinda half laughed and was like I'm sooooooooo sorry...looked at both the cars and thankfully, my rolla's rear bumper is a bitch and didn't even get a scratch, and the celi had a MD tag on the front so it didn't do n e thing to the celi either. We were both happy abt that, lol. I swear...old celis are tanks

o...since we r goin there...lol...my ex was drivin the celi to work one day and he was backing into a space at work...some old lady thought she'd be quick and try to get behind him before he pulled back...heh...next thing was BOOM! The lady was driving a crown vic. lol...crown vic vs. 90 celi gts...well...I got the call...pissed me the F**K off cause the car had gotten painted 2 weeks earlier...I went down there and turned out that her Vic's door was caved in and the only thing done to the celi was a lil paint scuff
still pissed me off considering the new paint job...but I'm damn happy thats all that it did
