UGH... damn winter drivers!

Post by Diablo0 »

Well our first big snow storm is hitting us now... supposed to get 2-6 inches. I went up to our Dodge dealer to have them program a key and BS with them for a bit since they're closing up (another dealer bought them out and is shutting them down)... well on my way out of the lot I'm waiting for someone on the street to let pull out. While I'm sitting there, there is another side street right next to the dealer and a car flys out of the street without even stopping, goes through 2 lanes of traffic, sideswipes 2 cars one of them being an older Durango. I'm in shock and at that point he starts sorta heading toward me in the White R/T but I dont want to try and move just yet b/c I dunno where exactly he's heading. He starts heading toward the front of my car so I attempt to backup as fast as I can but yeah... not happening b/c absolutely no traction at all even just letting the clutch out and not giving it gas. Then he changes direction again and aims to where I'm backing up... so i throw it in 1st and try to move forward a little but that isn't really happening either.... luckly he just misses me by about 1-2 feet pulling into the dodge dealer, looping through the dealer (possibly hitting new cars) and then it looks like he heads back down the street he originally came out of. All this happening and me just trying to make sure I get the hell out of his way I didnt' get his plate, if he even had a front plate. So I waited for a min or two to see whats up with the 2 cars that were hit... if the guy/gal would park and come back... nothing so yeah... hit and run.... thankfully I wasn't hit and I wasn't about to stay around waiting for him/her to make a turn around and play bumper cars again... so I pulled out and slowly made it home on my uber POS Kumho tires that came with the R/T.

Fun day I guess

That's how it should have been summed up! :lol:
If he would've hit your car it would've been because of a curse the Neon Gods put on you for keeping that car a secret!
