    Sorry to hear about this Jerry... sounds like the guy that totalled my Mustang. He was a habitual car-totaller, and had only owned the four-runner he plowed into me with for two weeks before taking me out.

    Two weeks prior to the accident he had been released from be hospitalized for a head-on accident three months before that.

    Imagine my "surprise" when I found out he was the son of a prominent doctor in the area.

    Grrrrr.

    Glad you're OK.

    The frustrating part about it (and I knew it would be) is unless she admits fault, it is my word against hers. At least according to my insurance company.

    Oh, don't be that way. They are not that bad. If you go 10 miles over the speed limit, or perform a lane change in any matter that implies any other intent then the lane change, they will be on you like white on rice.

    I accept you accusation with pride. Although I have been partial to the brown basmati rice lately. But nobody is writing ticket like brown basmati on rice.

    I agree with Blimey. It's so nice to live in Wisconsin, where if a situation like what happened to you occured, not only are the police there in minutes, on occasion they've been known to completely bypass the court system and go directly to capital punishment right there at the roadside, no questions asked. And if you're polite to the cops, you don't even have to clean up the mess.

    Watch out!

    if you keep waxing poetic about Wisconson, there will be a huge migration of Californians to Wisconson. Then you too will have crowded roads, a disfuctional government, overburdoned courts and the like.... Just without the beaches!

    "Like California, but without the beaches"

    I thought Detroit had already claimed that tagline.

    You can keep all your beaches, including the ones that sideswipe MINIs. =)

    We already have a dysfuntional government, led by a fortunately lame duck governor who will sell away as much of the state as you're willing to buy, provided the campaign contribution is right...At least he's better than Illinois's recent string of governors, but not by much.

    Hey, we've got some beautiful beaches--problem is the water is only warm enough to get in the water for 72 hours (96 hours if it's a really hot summer).

    But I'm already getting ready for skiiing....

    But at least we don't run into each other so much, like you guys playing bumper cars with your MINIs out there on the west coast. We don't need to. We have potholes that are equally as effective causing irreversible harm to our vehicles, without the hassle of fighting over who's fault it was.

    my worst fear is the afforentioned Xunt's of the world will rear end me and I gotta deal with bent frames/hatches that never work quite right again, etc. This looks like it's fixable and should not mess with you long term. You still do have a 'accident' tag on the car though

    Matt so sorry to hear about your MINI!!!

    Too bad there's not a 3-strikes rule for bad drivers :mad5:

    Was she wondering why you were taking her picture? Is there no law about not having stupid pets in your lap while driving?

    Blachhhh. I love when bimbettes such as this authoritatively quote 'the law' in a dispute. How can somebody such as this know sooooo much about the law? Her secret is her loose-boweled yapper: That dog is actually a licensed legal scholar, and the telephone is a translator. It's all very CIA. Long story short, Jinky, you're in over your head. She's a heavyweight. Just walk away. Walk away.

    That was one of the exchanges:

    Me: Unless I can see your license and insurance I have no way to tell if what you gave me is correct and I will call the police for assistance
    Her: Then I am calling my lawyer
    Me: I think you should
    Her: I will!!!
    Me: No, I really think you should. It might be in your best interest.

    Ha....
    And the dog took a dump in her car.:cornut:
    Sounds like the dog was tired of her driving antics and was showing it's displeasure.

    Ummm… isn't changing lanes in the middle of an intersection illegal in California? It is almost everywhere else in the world.

    And the logic escapes me- you're in the right lane, she's changing lanes and she nails your door & you hit her?

    I can only imagine where I might have told her to park her phone. At least the dog has a grip on things. :Thumbsup:

    Far as I know...

    changing lanes in an intersection is NOT illegal in CA, as long as it's clear. If there is a car there, then not only is it illegal, but it's stupid!
