    Default stupid co drivers(f40 wreck)




    I've been talking quite a bit to the owner since this happened. He was traveling westbound on 6th avenue just before going under the federal blvd overpass. he said a blue minivan didn't look when it was changing lanes and clipped the right front nose of the f40. The owner of the f40 slammed on the brakes, he spun out, and the van drive fled the scene... He believes it was a medium sized japanese van like a nissan quest or something like that. Blue in color with light blue/gray bumpers. Shouldn't have much damage on it, but should have red paint rubbed on the bumper. i've been trying to look at webcam/traffic cameras of this stretch of road, which i have found, i just don't know how to look at it at a certain time range.. i even emailed the people who manage the cameras asking if they can give me the video or pictures from the time this happened yesterday. owner thinks none of the important stuff was touched and wants to get replacement parts for it to get it back out on the road.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    No it won't.

    My wife was rear ended back in NC from an 18yo kid in a new Ford truck with one of those metal bumper ramming bar things. She was stopped at a light and he smashed into her going 50mph. Pushed her into the car in front of her so her car was smashed at both ends. She couldn't turn her head for days and it took months of physical therapy to fix her up. The next day after the accident the kid flew to Panama City beach for spring break. America breeds a culture of "it's not my fault" so nobody takes any responsibility for their actions. Looking back at it now we should've sued them; the guy was a VP at IBM and they lived in a million dollar house while we were renting a shit hole apartment.

    Ryan (the owner) is an awesome guy and one of the few people with the means to own one of those unicorns that actually drives the hell out of it. I have met him numerous times at car meets and he is absolutely good people. I feel terrible that this happened,
