ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!

Let's start with a well deserved ode to the Honda Civic 2004. Best little car ever!!!! The little green men that make you run smoothly are doing a wonderful job. Honda Civic, you are the poor man's VOLVO...

Car that I love and takes me everywhere...

I swear it was not my fault...

I love my car, it even has a name, T.J. Green. Don't ask me why, it just looks like a TJ to me.

Anyways, here I am, minding my own business in one of the many busy intersections in beautiful, sun drenched Tampa. The street light just turned red and I aligned the car to take a right turn... you know one of those turns that is to the DRIVER'S DISCRETION. My intuition told me that taking the turn as an SUV was making it's way into the intersection with was not the right move. So I decided to wait while the guy makes his U Turn and then it's my time to get going... What do I get in return?

A MORON REAR ENDING ME... Now the fun thing is that the guy hit me about 45 seconds after I made a full stop. It was like WHAT THE HECK? Didn't he just saw me here? What the hell made him think that he could accelerate when he has a car right in front of him?

TJ absorbed the impact completely with absolutely no damage. That was good news for the 5' middle aged Asian guy out of nowhere. I'm not being prejudiced or playing around with stereotypes here, but it really pissed me off when a guy with no Insurance and who could barely speak English just stood there as if nothing happened with the nose of his beat down Toyota all over my bumper...

After a couple of seconds of amazement I got off my car and kindly asked " Sir, what just happened here?" To which he replied, "Yeah, why you stop?" I tried to manage my urge to scream and kindly pointed out that there was a FRIGGING RED LIGHT!!!! to which the guy replied "Things to do, hully, hully."

I told him OK, there is no damage to your car or mine, but at least tell me that you are sorry, after all, YOU HIT ME!!!! The guy just got into his car and drove away because according to him he didn't understand a word I was saying. "NO ENGRISH" should mean call the cops but I only had 15 minutes to get back to work, so I let him go. Nevertheless, sometimes I still marvel at how inconsiderate people can be. FUCK.
