Corollas don like the Stang

Saturday night i was driving to the gocery store. while sitting at a red light, someone in a Corolla hit my car . When he hit me i was to put it nicely, a lil aggervated. I was ready to yell at the guy as in WTF were you thinkinging but it was an old grandpa so I didnt yell... i took a photo then we moved it off the road he has agreed to pay for the damages since they were small, he just barely hit me.

heres the pic of the cars together...


i'll post pics of the scratch later...

I the first estimate today and it came to $470, i plan to get another later who knew a lil scrape would cost almost 500 bucks...

also looks like this will take care of my previous scratch

You can't even talk to a body man for less than $500. Glad it wasn't worse.

I noticed old people in crappy Japanese cars like to tailgate the S197s on the road.

In LA, it seems everyone tails everyone - doesn't matter what they drive, doesn't matter what you drive.

the police here are supposed to be cracking down on tailgating and other "aggressive" driving... on interstate 12...

i think he just misjudged his brakes... or he couldnt see me? he was old and had me write my info for him since he couldnt read my DL

I work next to Porsche's NA Headquarters. It seems that most of their employees drives Porsches. Go figure!--I mean who'd want a crappy car like that. They are always tailing real bad in rush hour, mostly Boxters.

I told you Toyota drivers are knuckleheads.

Glad your car will be back normal soon.

New strategie, to drive them more nuts than they drive me.
step 1- pull to the right let them get next to me
step 2- slow down tail them a bit
step 3- pass them on other side (same side if opposite is not availible.)
step 4- get back in front of them
step 5- continue this pattern till they go a direction that you are not going
( this whole rotation should take about 15 secs-20secs and drives people totally nuts)

Im thinking about getting the GT/CS bumper... but i was hoping to find some pics of a black stang with the bumper on... and has anyone painted the matte black part with a regular black and clear coat? i was wondering how that might look on the black stang
