Default My Z28 hates SUVs

So Im at a stop sign, waiting to pull forward onto the highway, with a large SUV behind me. I start to creep forward slowly, and realize that I didnt want to pull out. This guy behind me musta stood on the gas cause he hit pretty hard. I have no pics yet, but the bumper is cracked all the way through, the brake light is smashed out, and part of the hatch is effed too. I guess my car wont be at the Hooters show in 2 weeks.....

Damn idiots..

I was going out to the Island and this guy pulls in front of my F-150 diaganally so he could talk on his cellphone while I'm going 65mph! I had to slam the brakes, and then cut across a shoulder to keep from t-boning him.

You can still bring it, just get some of that clearish red tape for the tail light and come on down....you can put it in to be fixed after the Hooter's show.
The show should be fun, looking forward to it.
