Default This is what I get for dodging an accident...

Its nothing major but the point.

Needless to say I stopped a one to many (you computer geeks dont mind the techie lingo) car accident and as a result I get this...






Short story I was going through a yellow light (didnt have enough time stop and the light just turned yellow), someone from the oncoming side was trying to make a left turn. They pushed out a little, I beeped, they kept going, I layed on the horn. I ended up having to dodge them and went into the oncoming lane of a side street. To dodge those cars (about 3 or 4) I hugged the shoulder, and I mean REALLY hugged.

I pulled over into an abandoned gas station and waited. Of course the ****** that cause the whole thing didnt show up. Some woman pulled over and thought I caused it, I said "NO" and explained. She proceeded to tell me that "People need to stop worrying about terrorists and worry about the people who cant drive in this country". My reply "AMEN!" Then this woman and her daughter also came to my rescue and said I did some good defensive driving.

Just thought I would vent over a near death experience.

The End.

By the way I got that Tire/Rim warranty, so ITS GETTING COVERED.

OH YEAH... you cant tell but my allignment is effed up too.

That sucks man, glad you came out uninjured though. Got idiot drivers in Denver, too. Seems like the second they get in their cars, their IQ drops 50 points.

At least you minimized the damage by good driving I you for that.

A f'ed up rim is better than making the Wrecked Scion site.

Good luck.

hey rims are cheaper then deductables a lot of times, and they don't takes points off the license for them either.
I was thinking your rim was bent, you are lucky it's not.

bro, i hate to tell you but its not only your allignment thats gonna be ____ed with a curb check like that. Your talking axle, cv joints, control arms. Your camber is messed up thats why its pulling. Im sure your allignment is off too but fixing that wont fix the whole problem

I dont know if I would go that far... I didnt run over the curb. I think its more from just swirving in 12 different directions.

I mean I'm not mechanic so.... I cant tell you for sure.
