I would like to openly apologize to the primer grey Nissan traveling on I-275 for going slower than you wanted me to go in my lane. As you soon found out – the reason I didn’t get over was because of the cooler that was sitting in the road. I apologize for not letting you know sooner. Your fart can exhaust sounded like you were pushing the car pretty hard... well until the cooler pushed back. Your fender didn’t look too good hanging off your car and there was a lot of smoke coming from the front end of the car as you pulled to the side of the road.



Look on the bright side – at least you didn’t mess up a new paint job.

 

 

That is great stuff! Drive like an idiot and bad things happen.

 

hahaha that sucks!!
you get mad at some slow poke car and change lanes to cut them off, only to find a cooler staring you in the face!!

haha funny story though.

 

such a kick a$$ story! i bet he wont be passing anyone else anytime soon.

 

yeah - i had thought about getting around the truck (passing on the right to the lane that ends). its not worth driving like a jacka$$ in rush hour traffic.

i was truly surprised how the cooler tore up the front of the car. i could see his radiator support and the fender was either digging into his tire or the tire had blown - but you could see parts of the suspension. i checked my car to make sure he didnt hit it into the tail end of me..


for those in tampa- this is where 275 and i4 meet (coming from the howard frankland side) and was the far right lane that ends

 

LOL thats funny.

reminds me of a time i hit a sofa on the highway.

 

heh, I had some dude tailgating me in a maxima and one of the bazillion large barrel traffic cones was IN the roadway, I waited until the last second and dodged it and BAM the dude behind me pummeled it

 

lol I hit a rocking chair with my work truck years ago, The people who owned it were right on the side of the highway I guess waiting for the traffic to clear. Whoops.

 

I dunno whos sofa it was but it was really bad traffic and car ahead of me grazed it and i dodged the best i could in the honda civic i was driving and it hit my front fender and left a couple dents.

If i was driving my mustang i wouldn't have hit it.. the civic had such sloppy suspension when i turned the wheel the car didn't turn the body just flopped around at first and then turned...too late to mis the couch.

 

wow if you had hit it hard it would done a number on the car The Isuzu cab-forward I was driving didn't blink over a large rocking chair

 

Once in rush hour traffic on I-285, in my F150, I ran into one of those fiberglass corrugated roofing panels. It was about an 8' sheet. It was laying flat when the van infront of me ran over it. The air pressure of the van passing over it made the sheet stand up in the road. I couldn't change lanes to avoid it. I was doing about 60mph when I hit it. The force of the impact made it wrap around the front end of my truck. The wind kept it stuck on the front of my truck covering part of the hood and obscurring part of the windshield. I imagine it looked pretty silly from everyone else point of view with this huge sheet of fiberglass stuck to my truck. I happened to be approaching an exit. I calmly got over and made the exit. When I came to a stop, it fell off and away from my truck since there was no more wind force to hold it on anymore. It slightly scratched the clearcoat on my hood but no other damage. As I drove away, I thought man that was kinda cool!

 

HA! Ha! You make-ah mee raff so.... rickin' hard

 

Funny enough, once again with a maxima on the highway, years ago (I had my 92) one was trying to keep up(back when they had chrome rocker panels with 'cant touch this' on a lot of them-if you need any more visual of the 'type' of modifications that car had), he was just disappearing from my peripheral vision and BANG! hood flipped up over the windshield on his car. Car was going wiggle wiggle in the mirror then just a cloud of dust as I lost sight of him. Me and my brother started singing 'cant stop-hammer time, every time you see me, the hammer's just too hype' ...

 

lmao thats hilarious, I love when revenge is served up cold like that. Deserving in so many ways and you don't get in trouble for it.

 

well, you know you can't touch this...

 

The absolute worst thing I ever hit was a COW standing in the center of the road in the middle of the night driving back to my AirForce base. That was in 1960 and I had jet fighter plane seat belts in my old Plymouth. My Air Force buddies thought I was nuts putting them in my car,until the story of the guy who "shoulda been killed" only got some glass cuts and a totalled MOPAR. I was a little "relaxed" to because of my beverage consumption earlier!!!!!
PS: I also had a Pilots Relief Tube under the drivers seat. Did not work well because there wasnt enough air speed over the tube opening under the car to siphon the fluid. Removed after first use....

 

PS: I had to pay the farmer $90 for his cow!! Texas law in open range. If it killed me my estate(What estate? I was 18!!)would have to pay for his cow.

Don't ever hit big cardboard boxes in the road - a friend of mine did that thinking it must be empty - there was a dishwasher in the box.
